So I am doing my first brew, tried to keep it simple and did the most basic kit I could get. Coopers English bitter pre hopped lme kit. I have had some home brew before and it always had a sweet wine taste , and that is what I am getting now. The batch is three weeks old ( I know it's not done...

Hey, I'm on my first batch as well, I started with a real basic LME kit I just wanted to get my feet wet before trying a more in depth kit. I will be trying a brewers best kit next they seem to have a nice variety with good instructions.

Hello, I'm brand new to home brewing. I have my first batch of beer in the secondary now. I plan to finish the brew as per instruction. I am bothered however by the idea of sediment from priming at time of bottling. If I could build an adapter that would fit a glass bottle, charge with Co2 (from...
