woodfordes wherry

[postman]

hello

i have been successfully brewing coopers australian lager for a while now.

however, i do like a nice pint of bitter now and again and from reading many posts on here, wherry has caught my attention.

before i place an online order, could anyone please tell me if i will need to get any additional equipment? when i am ready for a brew day i like to know i have everything needed to ensure everything goes smoothly.

from my original coopers kit i have the 30ltr fermenter, hydrometer and bottles. anything else needed?

want to get cracking with this so any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I've not long done a Wherry kit. It tastes fantastic, and it's only been in the keg for about three weeks. I take it you've got a long spoon to give it a good stir, and some sterilising powder?

I swapped the kit yeast for some S-04 and also put some gelatin in with the priming sugar to help clearing. thats all I'd suggest.

Campden tablets for dechlorinating your water (if your water has chlorine in it that is).

From what I've seen on here... there's been a few issues with Wherry brews stopping and starting... I've not done one myself, but I reckon changing your yeast as suggested might solve that.

I have done a different Woodforde's kit, Nelson's Revenge, which was excellent; and have had an absolute storming success recently with Coopers English Bitter... there's plenty out there to get your tastebuds into.

Good luck. :thumb:
