Hi guys quick question, has anyone on here tried adding gelatine or isinglass to the bottling bucket and then bottling straight away, so that you fine the beer in the bottle? Or is it best to just do it in secondary and leave it for a few days till it clears? Just want to know if it will make...

Hi, I had a brew day yesterday and forgot to add my Protafloc tab at 15min and panicked and put it in when at the whirlpool when the wort was 95c and gave it a good stir. Will this have any negative affect on the beer as it should of been added in the boil?

Hi all A friend and I are brewing a golden ale, it's currently fermenting in the bucket, we're going to transfer it to bottles soon. I am hoping to make a few of them bright green as a novelty. If I added food colouring to a few of the bottles at the bottling stage, will this negatively affet...

Hi all! I've previously made one batch of beer (and one only) and had to stop because of a few personal issues. So I don't really have any experience in brewing my own beer and I am just now getting re-familiarized with the terms, the process, etc! Now, I'm back in business and very keen on...

Hello everybody, Up here in Shetland prices are high and what's on offer is limited. That's probably the main reason that I've started brewing my own. I did some ginger beer the other week and really enjoyed it. At the moment I've got some cider that I'm slurping. Put a bit of cinnamon in when...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, however; given that my experiment contains 3 ingredients from the title, I'm guessing so. Recently I barreled by first attempt at the Beerworks Kentish bitter kit, Once I had it all siphoned off I was a bit reluctant to simply throw away the...
