I am still new to brewing but I can highly recommend a Cornelius Keg (5 gallon one preferred). You can force carbonate if you need but I tend to prime it and leave it (I did cut the liquid out tube shorter to prevent sediment pick up from the bottom).

It was a Coopers Euro Lager which I added 1.1Kg of brewing sugar to. I did not use any grain at all, just the extract as I am still learning.

I have to admit - my hydrometer is a cheapo from a starter kit and I keep meaning to upgrade - so no I have not calibrated. I just worried at such a low reading. I have bottled but it is still conditioning. Initial taste when bottling suggested strong lager and it tasted good.

Hi All I am asking this as I cannot get an answer from searching and as I am new to this and just starting my 4th batch I feel I really should know this. I read everywhere about how it is good/better to leave fermentation for longer than advised with malt extract kit instructions so I have...

Nice one - I am only a week or so behind you for my first batch - hope it looks as good as your pic!!!

Oh well - it had to come soon:D

Just got back to read the new posts on this thread since yesterday and I think from the comments I have recieved I might just have to invest in another fermenter and do another brew. Just been to the shops to buy some beer for tonight which really hurt when I have just checked my first batch...

Have to say I have not recieved bad content yet! I am very near to Congleton but a bit in the sticks. What about you?

Nice one guys - I am in total agreement that I can accept my first batch wont be the best ever so I think I will do just the two weeks as planned. Only prob then is what to buy next (extract only for now as I am not experienced enough to do it from scratch with fresh grain). Wow! Just...

Help!!! This is only my 6th post - still waiting for my first batch to finish fermentation and I am already addicted to this site. You guys (oops...and girls) know far too much to take in this early in my addiction! I cannot make my mind up whether to ferment for a looooong time or try...

I am REALLY new to this and getting all paranoid about my first batch and how long to leave in primary but this was THE post I was looking for - cheers.:D

Nice!! Always worth a brag!!

Hello to all those mentioned - I am in lovely??? green Cheshire. everyone syas how much they learn from users of this site but it just seems wrong asking for help when I cannot give anything back (yet;)). it just proves there are still decent people out there. :mug:

Wow - I just posted a message to say hello and got 5 really friendly responses - faultless!! Thanks guys.

Hi Yes I am a noobie and cannot wait to get my first brewing attempt into a glass for that first taste. You all seem to be from the USA so I am feeling a bit alone here in the UK. Anyway, hello all - this is by far the best site I have found so far hence creating an account. Dances
