    Flat lager

    Hi I've brewed a lovely tasting lager however it is flat. I have added more CO2 using a small canister bulb - this has provided the lager with a better head but the beer itself is still lifeless. Anything else I can do? I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks

    Pressure barrel leaking air

    Hi, I currently have a lager in my 2nd fermentation stage pressure barrel. I sampled a little bit earlier and it came out flat. I inserted a gas bulb into the top and immediately noticed a hissing sound at the top of the barrel. Obviously there is air escaping, my question is whether or not...

    Antiseptic taste

    Hi I've just done my first ever batch of lager having previously done 2 batches of real ale. However my lager has a real TCP/antiseptic aftertaste to it! I've read that it could be to do with the steriliser I used but what is the best way to avoid this happening again?! Thanks

    1st time!

    Hi I've just poured my first glass of IPA from my first ever homebrew batch. I've got it in a pressurised keg and when I've poured it out it was extremely frothy! Is this just my poor pouring skills or a problem? Beer tastes great and is clear!

    Secondary fermentation

    I have had my IPA in its secondary fermentation keg for 14 days now after adding brewing sugar. What is the best way to know if it is ready? Do I test by drinking some? Or by looking at a sample?! This is my first ever attempt so I am unsure!

    Primary fermentation - pale ale

    Hi My pale ale has been in the first barrel for 13 days and the hydrometer has been constant on approx 1012 for 5 days. The homebrew kit says to put into keg when below 1014 but the hydrometer instructions say not to keg until 1006 but its not dropping any further. What do I do?
