Hey, long time no post/brew. Been busy with other projects! Im allmost ready to bottle a kit brewed stout (Irish Velvet Stout). However ive hit a snag. The instructions on the back of the can dont mention anything about adding a spoon of sugar to each bottle before capping. However the...

Hey all again. I recently bottled a quiet expensive kit beer (cost me 80GBP to get it here) and 2/3 of the bottles are Budweiser Budvar bottles. The caps arent holding the pressure on these bottles and are leaking and venting the gas. The other 1/3 of the bottles are Baltika bottles and they...
