Hi there, I think we need to clear up exactly what you are using the pressure barrel for and also look at the term secondary. Secondary fermentaion on this board mostly means clearing tank, you take it out of the primary and you put it in a new vessel, leave for 2 more week and then bottle...

Gotta agree with david 42, 8 days is still pretty early to give up hope! Also, do you not think that beers like porters/stouts etc may be a little more difficult? Alot of people like Guiness but not many like Murphies or Beamish if you get what I am saying? Pale ales/lagers etc may be easier...

Hi guys, just looking for some feedback on a new label, I need to make 2 new lager labels and a stout and have left it till everything is almost ready to drink! This is my first new lager one, not sure I am as happy with it as I was with my last one, please tell me if you can think of any...

I really like it, I definately think a consistent look adds to the feel of professional brew! I have 3 batches in bottles that I have not managed to come up with labels for yet, better get my fingure out!

That looks awesome man! Have you tried it yet?

Are you talking about a kegging system with a separate O2 bottle, such as Corny kegs or are you talking about a plastic pressure barrel, like a KingKeg or Beer Sphere? The above posts are talking about proper Keg systems but to me pressure barrel means the plastic type. I have a stout...

Simply awesome! When I grow up I want to be just like you! :mug:

I blew the lid off my fermintation bin the first 2 batches I brewed and they both turned out fine, I don't use a sealed container just a big bucket with a lid (that I no longer seal completely!) I think people seem obsessed with contamination but as far as I can gather the chances of actually...

Yeah that is exactly what I mean, it seams any American's first intro to homebrew is straight into unhopped extract boiling. I have no doubt this gives a much better quality of beer than the kinda kits I am doing. Homwe Brewing is looked at as something alchoholics try over here in the UK and...

I think alot of confusion about kits comes from the fact you can buy what I refer to as kits, such as Coopers/Edme cans that you just add sugar/spray malts to and you can buy "kits" from places that are a pre selected bunch of ingrediants that you need to boil/steep and all that other stuff...

I really like these, but think you should combine the 2 a little, as Yuri said try the second one with the original green. I also think you should use the original font for your brewery name, the second one does not look as clear to me, though the bigger size is better as it looks a little small...

If I was to import a kit or 2 from Northern Brewer or another US shop (waiting till I see shippping costs!) Is there anything in the kits that will not last long? If I was to pay to ship some over it would make more sense to buy a few at once rather than just 1 or 2 to try them out. I know...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I found this at thehopshop it looks like exactly what I am after! http://www.hopshopuk.com/cgi-bin/browse-no-frames.cgi?view=group&group=craftsman The range is not great but I really would like to have a go with a set of ingrediants I know are correct...

If you are using photo's/pictures and just want to add some text/border and other simple effects have a look at www.myimager.com it is really easy to use and is totally free! I have no artistic talent whatsoever and I managed to make this and am quite proud of myself...

I dont have a LHBS unfortunately, they really are not to common over here. I have got all my stuff online so far. With everything I have been doing so far I have NO boiling involved, other than adding boiling water to the cans contents in the fermentor. I really like hoppy pale ales so had...

Hi guys, I am really starting to get a bit confused and hope you can help me out a little. First off I am based in Scotland (from Ireland) and have recently started brewing(4 kits so far.) However what kit means to me does not seem to apply to Americans. The kits I have been using are a...

I really like a hoppy flavour, I just hope I can get this again and it was not at the shop as a one off, it certainly is not a known brand over here, I asked about at work and no one else had even heard of it! Considering some of the alcoholics I work with that really says something!

Hi everyone, so far I have just been brewing with kits, just a big tin of gloop, 1kg brewing sugar and away I go! However I really want to try making my own receipes and getting into partial mashes (still not got it all sussed but I am getting there) I live in a flat so space is at a premium...

Ok I have an updated version now that I have had a bit more time to play around with it, I think it looks kinda cool! Criticism welcome!

Lets see if this works then! How did you post the actual pictures rather than a link? Cant get it to work. I like the look of this so far but when I copied your warning it is kinda hard to read so I may remove it, I also need to add my brewer name, once I figure it out of course! I...
