Just tasted one then, tastes like piss. I've got the shits so bad now. I dunno what it is but all 3 brews have the same weird taste to them. I can't describe it...

I'm pretty sure my wort is still fermenting now, after 12 days so i took a hydrometer reading just then and it is 1008... Whats the deal with that? Someone just said it should be around 1014 but mine is below that and still fermenting. Any suggestions? (I tasted it though and it tastes okay!) :)

Hey guys my brew has been in the fermenter for 2 weeks now and it has stopped bubbling vigorously but it is still bubbling slowly. Is it safe to bottle? I will get a hydrometer reading later today.

I've got an english mate and he rates it as his favourite beer. What's it like? He wasn't very descriptive.

Will it really turn out chunky? Okay it's done and in the fermenter, had a bit of a blunder and started filling up the fermenter while the tap was open so the kitchen floor got wort all over it. That happened to anyone else? :( I think this one will turn out good!

Okay I'm currently making the brew with the ingredients i listed at the start but my hop bag broke open while I am boiling it for 10 minutes... That doesn't really matter, yeah? Smells good so far!

Hey my name is Alex, I'm 23 years old, from Sutherland in Sydney and i like beer and punk rock. My missus got me a homebrew kit for christmas and I'm pretty keen on it although I'm trying to research as much as possible before i do anymore because I'm screwed up the two I've done. I look like...

Hey when i bottle my beer if the fermenter is filled to 23 litres i don't get 30 bottles of 740 mL out of it. Am i doing something wrong? And does anyone else tip their fermenter to try and get more out of it or is this just gonna end up giving you shit in the last couple beers?

Just taking the piss. My favourite bands of all time are Operation Ivy, Mad Caddies, Misfits, Descendents, hot snakes and Led Zeppelin. Dunno if you've heard any of them but they're all awesome!

No, punk fan. You, Sir Emo, are my mortal enemy. Oh and I'm from the shire also and you are a dragons supporter so we are going to have to dual to the death now. No seriously.

wtf I'm not gonna listen to that emo crap. If i played that to my mate he would probably kill me... or i would slit my wrists...

I'm getting excited !! I've got my mate coming over to give me a hand on sunday too. Think I'll have a few beers, put some music on and make us some beer!

Whats the best way to remove the hops from the water when I'm adding the mix to the fermenter? I'm sorry i keep asking so many questions I'm just real keen not to **** up again...

When i make this kit should i boil it on the stove or just chuck it in the fermenter or what?

Ummm i dunno if it tastes infected or not, but it's a really sharp taste and it's too much too handle. It's undrinkable for me anyway. Maybe the brew worked fine but it's just a really low quality taste because it's a kit? I have no idea because i haven't tried one before. It's been bottled for...

I had my brews in the fermenter for about a week before i bottled. I've heard that if you leave it in there for any longer then you need to and you are susceptable to infection. And the answer to your other question is i tried one of my brews every 2 weeks for 2 months praying that it would...

Ummm I'm not using a brewing sanitiser i was just using dilluted bleach and rinsing lots. Is that bad? Maybe that's where my problem has been....
