Apologies for multi questions but I cant find a solid answer that clears up my questions, and everyone seems helpful so why not. Racking - I'm relatively new and had some good batches some bad. I have always followed the instructions, took a SG, waited until its reached its FG (or there abouts)...

Just cracked my first bottle as a tester (been off the drink for 3weeks) it was bottled, then kept warm inside for 10 days and has been outside for 1 month exactly today. I'm not the best at describing but Its a copper colour which I wasn't expecting (but probably should have been) pretty much...

I bottled a batch of this a week or so ago. Didn't really fiddle the recipe except I did it a bit short and got I think 31 500ML bottles out of it. From start to finish its calculating at about 4.7 which seems a bit weak but can only see. It was mega hoppy and smelled brill when I first put it...

This was the first brew I tried when I started. Had a few problems when it stuck and it ended being in the fermenting bin for 3 weeks! Its been done and bottled for just under 2 months now and Im at least half way through as everyone wanted a go. Its a nice beer and people seemed to like it...

Im learning where I can cut time and be more efficient the hard way. Im really into the way the little bottler works and am going to get another new barrel with one fitted I reckon as It seems really quick and consistent.

Hiya, Thanks for all your responses, I'm adding sugar to the beer. Adding the sugar when half full and refilling once settled seems to be working the best (and wasting the least!) I have high hopes based on the taste straight from the FV so hope I don't end up with a load of drain food due to...

Im thinking of half filling, adding the sugar, letting it settle and then topping it up. Does that sound safe?

I only have 1 bin which is why i'm bottle priming.

Hiya all, First time doing this, started ok except for being a bit eager with the sanitiser. Brewing a Milestones Raspberry Wheat which started at 1046 and was stuck at 1020 at 2 weeks. Tried giving it a good wobble to try and wake it up but no joy so added 5 TSP of Tronozymol and stirred...

Thanks for all your replies!!!! Like I said my gut feeling was I was being a bit too tetchy about it all but you've put my mind at rest! Luckily I havent got a dog but I have had to stop myself putting my gob under and opening the tap! Ta again

Hi all, New to the forum in terms of posting and new to Homebrew altogether. I have the first brew on the go and obviously (I suppose) made a couple of cock ups which I need a bit of advice on please. (Cant find the specific answers on any other threads, hence why i'm posting!) Firstly... I...

Hiya, Been using this forum for reference and research over the last couple of months to decide weather I take the plunge or not. This post means I am indeed 'plunged' and have a Brew on the go as we speak - 1st one so none too confident but enjoying it never the less! Think I may have made a...
