I regularly use the mangrove jacks cider kits(tried them all i think) and quite like them I've bitten the bullet and bought the Crush cider, passionfruit and strawberry versions, mostly in an attempt to save a few bucks(not alot but every dollar counts). I put down the apple/passionfruit...

I made a recipe for an Amber Ale, using Mosiac and galaxy recent it was delicious. I liked the colour too. Could have used more on the dry hop but was still extremely nice. I will be doing it again. 1.5kg Breiss Munich 0.25kg wheat DME 1kg LIght DME 300g Medium crystal 200g cara aroma 50g...

I've found these taste better with age. 2 months plus in the bottle. Adding fresh quality juice improves them to, but adds more cost. Still worth it in my opinion. Very easy reliable kits.

Received my order today. Thankyou. Excellent service, and speed!

Thanks.

Hi you just ordered citra and simcoe from you sites, from my phone but because of poor reception it may have failed. Do you send email confirmation? I really don't want to miss out. :-(

Anything I might be interested in?? :ph34r: (citra primarily)

You'll be fine to leave it. I leave mine in the primary for 3 weeks total including cold crashing, ( I don't do secondary) just dry hop as soon as you get the chance!

I think I'll be needing some galaxy too. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

I can wait for next week, thats fine. keep me informed.

Hi Yob, I'm looking to get my hands on some Citra. You got any atm?

I'm not an expert but it should be ok. Hopefully some one else will chime in with more info. good luck!

I tend to put all remaining fermentables in at the end of the boil to dissolve it and sanitize,(can goop included), before chilling down to 20 odd degrees and tipping into the fermenter. It's not hard as long as your pot has the extra room, and will mean you can buy in bulk, with peace of mind!

For my 2 cents, I leave mine for a minimum of 4 weeks in the bottle, with head being better developed at 6 - 8 weeks. Most of my beers don't last beyond 12-14 weeks but a few have, and with only one so far, being really good at 6 months Hops flavours/aromas definitely fade early so my hoppy...

You can use the Cerveza can for many things. It was my favour for kits as it was so low in its own flavours and bitterness it gave lots of room to move, when experimenting. Try the Cerveza can 750g light malt, 250-500g wheat malt if you can get it, plus some form of hops, My favourite being...

OK steep the grains as mentioned above, while your doing this pre heat to 70 degrees as many litres for your total boil minus what your using to steep. ie another 2 - 3L for a 5L boil later. For this you will need a second pot. This will save you time, rather than heating water after you 1/2...

Indeed its fast and very clean, especially at 15 or 17 degrees(clean), BUT, it does strip out some of the hops flavour. That is the only reason I didn't suggest it. Nottingham and US05 are my favourite yeasts.

I'd steep the grain in 70 degree water,no higher, so as not to extract too many tannins from the grain. then once steeped, remove the grain, bring to the boil and add the hops for 10 minutes. for a basic steep I'd use 2L of water. If you want to go all out then there is a better, slightly...

As long as someone is willing to drink it it can't be that bad! That's a lot of white sugar! I've yet to make a high ABV beer, though it's on my list to test my skills. As Menoetes has said adding 1 kg of light malt extract would give you a better flavour profile, while still adding a bit of...

As above.Once you've steeped your grain, you need to remove the spent grain and boil the liquid for sanitation reasons, so why not make a hops addition while your doing it?
