Hi, I have a coopers ginger beer kit the has a best before of the end of march 07, do you reckon this will be safe to brew/drink? I'm returning to brewing after a long stint away and can't wait to get back in to the habbit so appologies for seeming like a "scruff" Silva

I've only brewed one batch of beer that definatley worked and that was last year, due to other commitments my hobbie kind of layed dormant until yesterday when I started again. The last beer I made I was pretty sure it wasn't good, so I just left it in the keg. I've just poured out a pint...

Hello, I have just started another brew after quite a while, and was wondering how much difference a secondary fermentation makes? I bought a begginers kit from http://www.art-of-brewing.co.uk which is just single staged, ferment/keg. If I were to do a secondary fermentation, how would...

Hello all, this is my first post in the forum, I have used a lager kit before but it never turned out that nice, and was far too cloudy. So my questions are: 1. Can I use finings that have been in the cupboard for 2 years (they do smell a bit fishy/vinigary) 2. When should I add them...
