DON'T pour it back in?! Geez, that was close. I'll try a bigger boat. Cheer

Hi there, So I've got a bucket of Canadian blonde going with 3 days left before bottling. Thought I'd do a gravity test, smell and taste test also tonight. The hydrometer sank straight to the bottom. It tastes and smells really good. Is the hydrometer sinking to the bottom normal? It's my first...

Oh yes please indeed!

I had a heat belt on it, it was about 25 yesterday, not sure what happened. Heat belt's off now. Honestly not too fussed how this turns out, all about the learning. This forum's being invaluable, thank you all

It's bubbling away nicely although the temp had gone up about 28-29. I'm sure it'll be delicious though

I'm just using the stuff they sent for the first one, more to get used to the kit etc. Taste is a secondary concern, as long as it's at least semi drinkable. I'll be studying recipes and techniques for the next one

Ah, ok. Thank you. Brew time!

I just got a brewsmarter equipment kit which came with a can of "Cooper's Canadian blonde". The instructions say use 1kg of brew enhancer 1, I don't have 1kg of brew enhancer. I do have 1kg of dextrose however, which came in the pack. The question is, do I put the whole 1kg in? Thanks

I think this is the one - http://www.brewsmarter.co.uk/brewsmarter-premium-starter-beer-kit-best-value-844-p.asp Hopefully ordered today! Feel like a kid at Christmas

A couple of friends and I wanted to start brewing, one of the friends knew about this place. Been here ever since, not going anywhere either. Great job, love it

Excellent, thank you. I'll look into dry yeast also

Thank you, I'll defo check those out. I can't wait to get started. Got too many ideas. Payday can't get here quick enough

Hi there, I'm looking to get brewing at the end of the month and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for kits to start out? I'd be looking for something that would contain everything that was needed and would last a good few brews. I've had a look about but advice is always nice...
