I was thinking about the following the other night and wondered if it would work. Take one bottle of white wine and add to a demijon and add same volume of water as wine. Add sugar and yeast, leave for a few weeks and then bottle in beer bottles with priming sugar. Would this make a nice...

Just want to say I did my first extract, it was not as bad as I thought it would be either. I was as methodical as I could have been. I ended up adding the yeast at 11 pm and was half expecting to find a mess all over the floor when I came down this morning but no, just a nice sound of gurgling...

Gent I have had my first brew in a fermenter now for 5 days now and the activity is now down to a bubble around 1min 50 sec. I was going to do a hydrometer test and hopefully bottle tonight. Is that going to be ok? Its a muntons pilsner kit if that helps.

I started my first brewing on thursday night. It's in the fermenter and happily bubbling away. It's a muntons pilsner kit. I intend to leave it for around 5 days then test with my hydrometer to see if the fermentation has finished and then bottle. My question is, does home brew come fizzy/bubbly...
