    Leaving hops in fermenter?

    So a few weeks back I finally sourced an extract kit supplier here, and went with this: http://www.brewuk.co.uk/summer-glow.html Narrowly avoiding CO narcosis aside brew day went well, but I had to slap it in a pressure barrel and force carb after 3 weeks as finals were interfering with a...

    That was unexpected...

    Managed to get an extract kit so figured I'd give it a shot - 75 minute boil in 6 litres (About a gallon and a half, half my kettle size), little over 2# of DME at the start and the same again after. So steeped, didn't lose much volume (only about 1# of grain anyway) and got it to what I...

    First extract

    Picked up the parts to match a recipe on one of the UK sites, just not sure how hotside works in terms of process and sterilisation (limited access to RO and a v. small kitchen, less prep I need to do the better). Got muslin for steeping grains, and the recipe looks like you just lob...

    Bottle time/temps?

    Long story short I ran my (hopefully) final pre-hopped kit the last few weeks (sat in primary for about 25 days, so much clearer than what I'm used to...) but wanted to practice bottling before moving to extract (got bits for a nice summer IPA on order). It's been a crazy few days with...

    I realise these are probably heresy on HBT, but I really want to dial everything in before I blow a ton of money on extract gear. I started with homebrew last year, messed about with beer and wine kits before ditching the latter as it's a lot of effort for little yield (don't really have the...

    CO2 on secondary?

    Finally got around to doing another batch (switching to 2-can kits) now I've sorted out the issues with StarSan, gravity's at about 1.018 after 5 days and still bubbling a bit so I've got a day or two so sort out the barrel. Last time I used a pressure barrel for secondary I had pressure loss...

    First test worked, questions before I take it further

    Heya, So I thought I'd try brewing for the hell of it a few weeks back, just in case it all messed up I grabbed the cheapest Wilko's kit I could find. It's turned out...serviceable, but that's more the kit being about £8 I think. Got a different cheap kit with an eye to bottling it this time...
