Mines been on the go for 1.5 weeks, I've added the dry hops today and a quick little sample while I took hydrometer reading. Tasted pretty good so far - let hope the hope don't turn it into a 0/10.

I got this kit ready, hopefully I'll get it on the go this weekend. I've done a few Dark Rock kits, extract and part grain and I've found them all to be great.

I have 3 of the 8L ones, purely so I can fit one in my under counter fridge along side a corny (it wont fit 2 conries). I've had beer stored in them for a few months with no issues. All my kegs are hooked up to a 6kg cylinder. Before getting the 6kg I used a soda stream cylinder which was fine...

I design and print the labels in Adobe Indesign. For these I just got some bottle mockup's from https://www.freepik.com/ open them up in Photoshop, add your label artwork and it will render them for you. Mine all designed at 67x99mm as this is the size label I print on so the mockups do look a...

Here a few more labels from my recent brews, or what I have in the pipeline. Something a little different this time with the help of Photoshop. My bar's called Sixteen Gallon so using The Ranges MYO wine kits I've produced a 'House' selection (not done the white yet but the lable is ready)

Thanks @GazzaW57 I guess two months in the bottle is better than me bottling them on Xmas Eve! I've got the Rose kit, maybe worth doing that sometime soon ready for next summer.

Thanks @Chippy_Tea I did have a little sample when I bottled. The idea was to have them ready for Xmas and buy the sounds of it why should be all good for then.

I've just done this kit and bottled it about two weeks ago. How long would you recommend leaving it before trying a bottle?

I've done this kit recently. SG was bang on 1.050 and it finished on 1.008 giving me 5.5%. Brewed this with 1.2kg of MJ light extract, 12 days at 22 degrees, dry hopped and kegged / bottled 3 days later (mid July). Currently got this on draft and it's great.

These are great! Sorry we've taken over you thread @GuyG This is the last one I bottled. I create the artwork in Adobe Indesign then use these self adhesive removable labels from Amazon - means they come off nice and easy when the beer has been drunk...

I've got a Dark Rock Tribute to Punk IPA next to keg / bottle. This is my first go at part grain, thought I'd messed it up (thermometer was way out) but it seems like its turned out pretty good! Nothing fancy, just a Punk IPA type label

Cheers mate. Pretty much all done from pallet wood, just long winded and hard work. Worth it tho

@GuyG Love the labels mate. I still only brew kits so make my labels based around those and no fancy names. Stick them all up in the bar as an alternative to pump clips. You can see in the background there's a few ladled bottles on the shelf.

Well, with the weather like this I couldn’t wait for the weekend! What can I say - fantastic! A little hazy, could be chill or more likely it will clear after I’ve poured a few. Even this misses said she could drink a pint of it 😂 Also

I've got this in a Corny ready to go on for the weekend. Not sampled it yet and really looking forward to it.

Ordered one the other day from AliExpress with a few other bits and pieces. My last order was here in just over a weeks so hoping this is the same.

I've had a few bottles go off like a volcano when I opened them but 99% have been absolutely fine. I put that down to possibility of the fermentation not finishing before bottling (luckily this was just a few as the rest was kegged). Now if that was to happen with a 8l bottle that would be an...

I've purchased three with one tapping head. In the few seconds it takes to remove the cap and screw on the tapping head how much do you think this would affect the beer? It's going back on gas and any oxygen can be purged. It's not something I thought about when ordering, maybe I need to put...

Thanks! A lot of hard work and A LOT of pallets!

Thanks for the advice. So far all the brews I’ve done I’ve been too eager and started in them as soon as poss so no doubt this will be the same.
