    Festival kit low ABV

    Well ive always had good results with the festival kits except once when it didn't ferment at all and I was told to throw the packet yeast away and use another, like youngs. It's been great ever since until this batch

    Festival kit low ABV

    If its still git low ABV, would it be worth adding more sugar and yeast after another week?

    Festival kit low ABV

    Simply put, I didn't know that so it's appreciated that you pointed this out thanks. 1 thing I do know, is time in a corny keg in a fridge at 10 deg makes for great tasting beer. I'll be drinking this in 2 months time.

    Festival kit not bubbling

    Afternoon all. I made the Festival Landlord kit yesterday. I omitted the kirs yeast as my last 2 kits struggled with this. I added 12gr of Youngs Multipurpose Dried Active yeast. Water temperature was 24deg. There's no brewing activity at all. No bubbling, just a little bit of positive...

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    Hi and many thanks for your advice. My last beer came out at 2%. It also barely fermented but I fear the yeast embassy to blame. I'll take your advice and throw the yeast in the bin for sure. Many thanks

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    I'll tell you what i had done previously. I vaselined the lid in place on all of my brews. However, on this one I cleaned it all off so my seal wasn't there anymore. I'll give it a couple more days and then get it in the pressure vessel.

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    So then, my original gravity was 1044, my gravity today is 1010. So, it's converted the sugars. But there's no evidence of any brewing? I'll barrel it shortly and keep it in the warm for a while.

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    I put in 12grams of yeast yesterday. Temp is now a steady 22deg in the airing cupboard. I'll check to see if its bubbling and check the S.G. and report out.

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    I've bought a tub of Youngs Brew yeast. It says a level teaspoon per gallon which is about 5.5 teaspoons. Does that sound right?

    St Peters Golden Ale Problems

    Afternoon all. After having (fantastic) success with Festival kits, I thought I would give a St Peters kit a try. I followed the instructions and it is now sat (trying to) ferment in the airing cupboard at a steady 21 deg c. However after 3 days, nothing has occurred and the Hydrometer...

    Primary + Secondary Regulator pressures for Ale and Lager
