It actually came out really good, it's still in the pressure barrel ageing but it tastes really nice and has a nice head on it. I am going to leave it longer. Really proud of my first attempt! and thank you for your help and advice

When it's bottled, where do I store it?

Hello everyone, I first started with a Coopers Irish Stout and it came out brilliant and tonight I have started a Coopers Lager but I would love to do a beer that tastes like Sam Adams. Are there any kits out there which are similar in taste?

Hello everyone, I finished mixing every thing last night at 9pm and I went to check on it this morning and there was froth everything, it was up the airlock too and the lid was bent. Have I do something wrong here? I am having to check it every 30 mins to make sure the lid does not come...
