I would definately recommend it. The best kit beer i have made. Full bodied malty beer, will be making it again.

when carbonating using the ross method (rocking for 50 sec and seeong where the guage falls) do you need the beer to be cold or can you just fill the keg and do it straight away?

tap pours good as long as it is fully open

well when filled and set gas 350 it was at room temp then into the fridge for 24hrs, fridge at about 2-3 deg

just force carbed my first keg, the problem is that it is full of froth and very flat under the froth. My method was to transfer from fermenter to keg, connect gas at 350kpa and put in fridge with bottle left on at 350kpa. 24 hrs later reduced pressure and all i get is froth. have tried pressures ...

had some supplies left over so thought i would make a basic brew.

1 can coopers real ale
1 coopers BE2
300g yellow box honey
kit yeast

Tried one today after being in the bottle for 13days.
Was the best beer i have made out of about 50 or so brews, had just a slight after honey taste.
Tried another ...

well don't know whether i sould be worried or not

just put down a coopers draught with kit yeast 24 hrs ago and there is a lot of foam forming, so much so it is almost touching the fermenter lid. Is this ok, have down 40 or so batches and never had this happen before ?

thanks for all the help guys

Have been brewing for a few years now, really enjoy making and love drinking the stuff. But am sick to death of washing, sanitising, capping bottles ect.

Thinking of kegging but have heard that the beer has a limited life span in the keg.

This may be a ploblem as i like to leave my beers a while ...

true thanks for the help

don't want a cheap brew just wondered what everyone thinks is the best easy to make brew

Have been brewing for a few years now, still doing basic brews ( coopers ect ) like them so much havent moved on. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

what is your best basic brew?

Cheers, think i will give it a miss for now until someone gives me a good enough reason to start, as i said have done 50 or so brews which are very clear with no sediment

Have been brewing for a few year now with 50 or so batches under my belt, keep hearin g that you should rack into a second fermenter. Have hav'nt ever doon this. All my beer are clear with basically no sediment.

What are the advantages of racking then?

Have got a few spare fermenters.

cheers

so as it is a ale yeastsafbrew wb-06 a temp of around 24 will be ok

cheers, thought it would be ok
