Would you ever recommend using hops in your brew? Was just having a look online at recipes at work the other day and seen a couple that they had put hops in a Muslin bag a left in there to ferment

Would greatly appreciate some of both your top recipes for me to try next going to get it kick started shortly with Christmas coming up 40 pints won't last long!

Unbelievable after my first brew was a epic fail this is just great! Tastes fantastic. Thanks for your help!

Good to hear! Was starting to worry a wee bit.

So I just tried my first after 2 weeks! What a taste really enjoyed it, slightly concerned about the lack of carbonation thought wee bit flat and not much head. Used 1 coopers drop for a 500ml bottle will it be better for next week?

Spot on. The exact direction I was looking for. On bottling do you use carbonation drops? Thanks

Would love to know your thoughts and techniques on this kit?

Looking for a good brew kit similar to Budweiser miller or Stella? Any ideas?

I recently tried a brew and used brewing sugar (1 KG) but have looked into it a lot more and seen many different ideas. I was wondering what difference there is in tastes and set in using different ingredients. I used a light lager kit (wilko) and is ok but am looking to get a taste similar...

I have recently finished my first home brew of wilko light lager. It was ok but looking to try something with more taste to it. I enjoy most lagers but the main ones I prefer are millers, Budweiser and Stella. Not so keen on the likes of Heineken. Looking for a good lager to try and what are...
