Silly question Should it be taken when the wort is ready to take yeast eg at 22c ish or is it ok to take before its get down to temp?

In my first kit I just used boiling water with hops and to swill out the can of malt extract, And as I was bottling it tasted fine if flat at that point. I still have to try the finished beer but every where else I read you should boil for a long time in your water. Mine was a kit so may not...

Cheers that's what I was beginning to think Thanks

I have brewed a London bitter from a brupak and it fermented for the 10 days. I did not take a reading to start as I did not have a hygrometer at the time . I'm a little unsure if I should just bottle it or if I took a reading now what would be a good number to look for ?

I've not been brewing long so what I'm about to say is from drinking and buying a lot of wine and port over a decade and a half . If you have wine/ port for over a decade I would say re cork because cork does degrade but getting out a great bottle only to find the cork has perished and killed a...

If I don't count outlay of demijohns airlocks and stuff I'm hoping to get a 500 ml for about 50/70pence so as long as I make enough it should be cost effective in about 4 or 5 batches as long I don't end up buying more equipment

Sierra Nevada £2.30 UK price not bad stuff but the best I found in the states in 2 weeks

That's ok but being in the UK I think the shipping cost might get the bank manager after me as we'll as the wife

Cheers I will think about that for the next 1 As the wife may think I'm spending more on making beer than on the beer itself I just wish the brew shop was a little closer as I'm not a fan of buying on the Internet. I like to see for myself the size and shape but I think 4 gallons of stuff...

I started brewing my first beer on Thursday and at some point the air lock has had beer come up and though it. I take its it's best to remove the air lock and clean and replace ASAP As well as clean the outside of the demijohn/carboy Any ideas welcome

Cheers all good I'm having a go at bitter as well as you get a quicker drink In time for Christmas if its not all drunk by then

Thanks that makes me feel better My only other concern at the moment is when I racked I ended up with a lot of space will this mean I get oxygenation ?
