Those are really awesome! :rockin: I love the idea of the pack with mixed labels. I remember when I was a kid we always used the keep some tins of Harp in the fridge for when my granda visited, and they used to have a photo of a girl in underwear on each tin, maybe 10-12 different girls in...

I always like to try new beers and keep an eye to the beer sections anytime I go shopping (I am Irish but currently based in Scotland.) At the weekend I saw a new beer in my local super market, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I had never seen it before so grabbed a bottle to try it, I have to say this...

Thanks for the info, I went with the Stout. Made it on Sunday and spent yesterday cleaning up the damn mess as it completly frothed over in the the fermentation bucket. I just use a 5 (Imperial) gallon bucket with lid for brewing so I could not even fit a blow off tube once I first found it...

Thanks for the advice, I am in the Airforce and am going for the look of the WW2 bombers nose art, though not exact copies of it, just that style. I checked out google and there where a ton of cool pictures, I will post something when I get it stuck together, assuming it does not look like a...

I love this label, I have yet to make any labels but I have been thinking of trying some out, I had come up with the idea of all my beers having old looking pictures of women with a suitable hair colour to match the beer. The picture you have used is exactly the style I was thinking off. Did...

Good to hear it works ok! When you say it does not allow the carbonation for Lagers etc do you mean it does not fully carbonate in the sphere or that it looses its carbonation after a while in there? I was under the impression the gas bottle (just got hold of one) was purely to provide...

I tried another bottle tonight. Been in the bottles about 10 days now and I am really impressed! It is not 100% right though was still pretty darn nice and I have no doubt it will improve more with time. There was plenty of fizz and even though it generated almost no head on pouring it...

I have just got hold of a Hambleton Bard Beer Sphere for a very low price, cheap enough that I bought it without knowing much about it! It is a plastic presurre barrel that can take a gas cylinder. I know most people here seem to use corny kegs but was just wondering if anyone has any...

I have just started brewing, using kits only at the minute. The equipment I bought to get me started is a large plastic bucket, 5 Imp gallons with a lid. The instructions with it say no air lock is required as the gas will escape around the rim of the lid (not quite true as it has blown the lid...

The bottles are being stored at a pretty constant 19.5-20C, I know most of you guys work in Fahrenheit so I think thats about 68F. Thanks!

Excuse my ignorance, still learning here. My first batch came out flat (though the flavour was pretty good) and my second batch is curently bottle conditioning. However I did not use a bottling bucket, I primed each bottle with sugar, did not dissolve it or anything just put it into the bottles...

Thanks for the reply, what amount of sugar would you recommend adding? The bottles where primed with 3/4 of a teaspoon. Any answers for the other questions? Especially interested in when carbonation stops, ie does that only occur until the bottle clears or does it continue after that point...

Hi everyone, I have just started brewing and could use some advice. I started my first brew about 6 weeks ago, it was a Art of Brewing (UK homebrew shops) own brand lager kit. Used 1kg brewing sugar with it, in a 5 gallon bucket and added the yeast once it was ready. It seemed to bubble up...
