Thanks for all you advice guys. I will struggle on with the wheezy chest for a while limit myself to max 2 at a time.

I've seen these caps u put on bottles when doin secondary. Turn the bottle upside down and it collects the yeast and doesn't let it back into the bottle. It's a lot of reinvesting but I may have to do it. I'm so bummed about this

I have a reaction from commercial beer if I have been drinking for 3 or more days. I haven't done that in a long time bug I have had 2 beers tonight 1 stout and 1 red ale. And I'm wheezing like a bagpipe at the mo. I could drink 10 commercial beers or so now and I reckon all I'd have is a bad...

Hi all. I have very depressing news (for me anyway) I'm yeast intolerant. When I drink my beer I get a tight wheezy chest and hot flushed face. Anyone any remedies and or alternatives please. I feel like I've had a death in the family, that's how much I love my beer

Gotta say that looks great. I'm quite jealous

All looks good and tastes great so far the hydrometer I used is the plastic one that comes with a coopers diy kit. Thanks for the replies guys

I was thinking something was up thanks ill persevere and see if I can recalibrate my hydrometer. Nothing was too hot the sample I just took was 22 degrees

Has anyone ever seen a REAL chick in here?

Also a good brand of extract for the kit. Thanks

Hi all I am thinking about doing a stout. Can anyone recommend best way to get a good stout from a bottle as I don't have keg or kegging facilities

Nice looking stout is that straight from the bottle. Sry to hijack post. Haven't brewed a stout yet

Nice explanation thanks. It's a minefield of jargon out there. That's the toughest part of the whole brewing

It wasn't that the room temp had bad head it just wasn't as impressive as the chilled glass beer head. Thanks for all your info. Once again what a great forum full off very kind people sharing their knowledge. Much appreciated.

I'm only on my 3 rd brew. That happened with my first. I was prob impatient though. Try turning them upside down and resuspending the yeast. Then leave back at original temp for another week or two. Keep trying a beer every week. Out of interest did u use the carb sweets/drops or sugar? Carb...

Good to know people thanks very much for that. The frozen glass looks kinda cool though, flavour zapping or not

Hi all was drinking my brew last night and the first beer I poured was into a glass from the freezer and I got great head and head retention. My second was in the already used hence room temp glass, head ok but not near as good as first frozen glass pour. So on 3 rd beer froze the glass again...
