Hi, was browsing eBay yesterday and saw a couple of videos of guys reusing 5l mini kegs for thée homebrew, has anyone on here done this ?

Will done the ipa short 20/21 litres, as it's a 1.5kg can. It come with 10g first gold hop pellets to dry hop. Will use light DME and 500g/750g dextrose. The Thirsty Devil comes with 10g cascade hop pellets will use medium DME and 500g/750g dextrose. Will just go with the amount of hops they...

Went in Wilko's today and picked up my Christmas booze 😄.

I tried a bottle of Wherry's last night, must say I was very happy with it 👍 Tasted quite nice, got high hopes for this as time pass's. Will try another next weekend.

Yes, I know. I got 44 500ml bottles from the Wherry, so don't mind trying one each week from next weekend. 2 weeks in the bottle, I don't expect miracles just not very patient. 😁 I know it will be better if I wait another few weeks.

Hi, I bottled my 2nd brew last Sunday (30/08) a Woodfords Wherry. I batch primed it with 100g of table sugar in a cup of boiling water left to cool the racked the brew into a bottling fv left for about 40 minutes then bottled. Started a Wilko Sweet Newkie Brown today (06/09) brewed short @ 21...

Got a Wherry on the go now, day 7 in fv. Will bottle it next weekend then will do either willko stout OR newkie for the Mrs. The Cooper's Lager was done as I decided to buy the Cooper's starter kit. As it was a all in one kit with bottles, fv, tap and little bottler.

Yes

Thanks, quite happy with it. Started a Wherry on Saturday, brewing it in my newly built fermentation chamber/fridge. Good look with your brew. What you brewing?

So I had a bottle last night & 2 tonight and ALL 3 where fine. So I guess it wasn't quite ready before. Head didn't last too long but tastes ok. Definitely drinkable 👍

I have a 5kg bag of myprotein dextrose thats out of date (march 2017) I have tasted it on my finger and it's still sweet. Would this be OK to use ?

Yes, would THAT really make a difference ?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I used the Cooper's carbonation drops that came with the kit, 2 in each bottle. Maybe I tightened some bottles more than others ? To be fair as I said quite happy with it for my 1st brew. Temperature's where all over the place from 20 to 27. And I didn't know about...

Ok, so tried a bottle tonight, day 18 after bottling (day 41) first bottle was to me perfect. Had a nice head, carbonation bubbles floating to the top, like a can/bottle from shop. Tasted quite good, had worse. 2nd & 3rd bottles taste the same but have NO head & NO Bubble's floating. I stirred...
