This kit has everything you need to start out home brewing. What else can I say? It's really good value for money. Would recommend it
Never used it before. Its really easy, makes life simple. No rinsing, no taste when the beer is bottled. Brilliant sanitiser
Just brewing my second batch, a nice tasting pint which keeps its head to the bottom of the glass.
Full marks to B2B for delivering in 24 hours even though this was not requested.
Brilliant.
I have four of them.
This is how I use them.
I use them as a fermenter first. (I've got myself an extra four caps with airlocks that I had to make up myself).
When the barrels have stopped bubbling I bottle HALF of it with a spoon full of sugar for each bottle (about twenty bottles for each barrel).
Each barrel is now half full.
This gives me enough dead space inside the barrels to drop around twenty five level table spoons of sugar in.
Then I screw on the lids with the pressure vale on, and then I give it all a couple of weeks. .
Hint: Use vast amounts of vaseline to seal everything up and you cant go wrong.
THE METHOD ABOVE HAS NO NEED OF CO2 BOTTLES
This is my second time ever brewing but my first time brewing Stout. The starting gravity was 1.040 and i brewed it for 8 days with the final gravity being 1.010 (3.94%ABV) I then bottled the stout with 2g of sugar per bottle and left it for 4 weeks. I put a bottle in the fridge for a few hours then poured it into a glass and i was very surprised at the fact it tastes so much better than Guinness or Murphy's stout. There is subtle notes of roasted coffee and chocolate without any bitter tastes, i would 100% brew this stout again and would 10/10 recommend this to anyone who likes stout!
As Brew2Bottle,sell the Geordie,40 pint lager kits,they are not only very easy to achieve a good "brew",but also,at a great price,as are many things,sold by them. Excellent,all-round service,and very fast,efficient,deliveries are normal !. Once,again,thanks,very much,Brew2Bottle !.
Have found,that Brew2Bottles' own brand,brewing sugar,to be excellent,and just as good,as other,more expensive,types available. Very easily and quickly dissolves,when used,as instructed,with many home-brew kits.in fact,as with many Brew2Bottle,brewing ingredients and equipment,are very good value-for-money. Tried others,for various items,but have gone back to them,and are now my first choice to go to. Thanks,Brew2Bottle !.
I have brewed this stout several times now, the last time with Mangrove Jack's No.2 Beer Enhancer. I also added c.300g of dextrose to boost the abv. to c.5.2%
I've always enjoyed this stout but think this one has hit the sweet spot. Great mouthful, lovely smooth liquorice and dark roasted malt flavour. Fabulous.
Great little keg, currently got them both full with my last brew. Will be using them with a handpump
