Very nice

All should be available at your local brewing shop or online 👍

Absolutely 👍 you could make it a lot neater as a permanent fixture/solution.

I had the same question. How can you tell when your fermentation will be explosive? I have only brewed two batches of beer, both the same clone recipe of Chimay Blue. The only difference is that I used liquid yeast for the first batch and dry yeast for the second batch. The second batch was explosive. Fortunately, I was watching closely, and I cleaned out the airlock several times. The dry yeast fermented in less than two days, compared to 8-9 days for the liquid yeast, but the end product was virtually identical. I prefer the faster fermentation if I can deal with the blow off, so I plan to just use a blow-off tube for all future brews.

I have yet to brew anything but the same thought has occured to me. The two-piece airlock would be difficult to clean so I would opt for the three piece or do this. Its an airlock without the gadget and easy to maintain sterile environment.

I have been tied up with work and babies 👶 still brewing but not had much time for filming and editing I have some new projects coming soon tho thanks for watching 😃

Sorry Vicky missed this question, yes the bottles were already primed for this video.

Unfortunately once the process has begun it is irreversible. Either toss the lot or let it ride and make your own vinegar.

Sounds delicious! Are you able to test the PH? Its possible your wash is quite acidic with the lime juice

@@stillbrewing actually I didn't check the PH. I do have a ph tester but I don't have calibration fluids with me. I also have a doubt about the acidity. Do you think that I smell sourness in my wash because of the lime?

@@keith_ferdinanduz if you haven't checked the pH there's not much point in continuing to ask any questions, it's like asking "think I have a fever? I haven't used a thermometer"

@@VeggieRice ok genius!.

Keep us posted with the results! and what potassium are you using?

@@stillbrewing I my self use Centrum A to Zinc, so I will probably crush 4-8 tablets with a couple of a cheap b-complex tablets with some DAP depending on the quantity and recommendations I find online in regard to the yeast needs. For now, I'm researching how many vitamins & at what quantities I need to use, that's how I found your video.

This one was actually gifted to me by a friend but it would be quite interesting to do a review of the various Brands and styles available 👍

I'm sorry for your loss 😉 1 out of 100 is good odds to be fair! Review your process what did you do different this time?

Any links?

Everything worked out fine. I've still yet to bottle it due to work and family commitments but I have drawn off a sample which was lovely. Not my usual tipple but a nice tipple! Good luck with yours 👍

Yes the kit recommends a kilo of brewing sugar to make 23l at 4% abv. I used two cans and spray malt to make 25l at 4.5% the more fermentables you add the higher the abv but each will change the flavour profile.

@@stillbrewing did you complete a third video for this one? What does the addition of the spray malt do to the beer. Sorry if these questions are little dumb

@@haydnmaxwell649 no I supped it before I could make a third video 🍻 the spray malt is another fermentable which increases abv but it also gives more body to the beer. If you want a crisper lager style I would reccommend just using brewing sugar

Nice selection roll on BBQ weather! It really is a good beer cant think of a negative so 10/10! its a kit I'll always resort to when entertaining.

@@stillbrewing Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes I will have loads for the BBQ Season, Pink Grapefruit IPA, Oaked Apple Cider, James Blonde Ale, Bavarian Wheat Beer and Juicy Session IPA. I'm not touching any of it until my Birthday in the middle of May. Looking forward to trying them all, but really looking forward to the Pink Grapefruit IPA and Juicy Session IPA. Cheers.

A lot of people follow the 2-2-2 rule. 2 week fermenting two week bottled in a warm place and two week chilling before drinking but the longer you can leave it the better. Your last bottle will always be your best. On this occasion I supped it all in a couple of weeks lol

Thanks Chris welcome to the channel! if theres anything I can help you with just ask.there are so many good kits out there I've not had a bad one yet 🤞

Me too! It's been actively fermenting, so far so good. I believe it's now 9 days since pitching yeast so looking forward to racking and bottling in the next few days 👍

Yes I got this bag from The Range in the BBQ section I've also reused the chips giving them a blast with the blow torch for extra char. Bag was around £7

@@stillbrewing just started using wood chips there around £10 on ebay for still Spirit chips 100g bag I was thinking they must be the same thing

Yes I've used the still spirits in the past but highly reccomend the JD barrel chips. I've got my hands on some lovely American white oak which I'll feature soon with baking and charring the wood.

@@stillbrewing great I will keep a look out for it glad you replied I forgot to sub, what amount of chips would you recommended to use as I say I'm new to wood chips

I'm old school with measures lol. I use a handful per 2 litres. You can always add more. If you prefer a darker spirit use more charred pieces in your handful. taste regularly. When your happy remove the wood or bottle. You'll see quality results within 48 hours but personally my sweet spot seems to be 4-7 days. And thanks for the sub!

Bottle straight after adding the priming sugar 👍

@@stillbrewing Many thanks, might get the barrel, just did my first home brew and filling 40 bottles straight from the drum via a syphon made a bit of a mess. Thanks for the videos very good. 👍

Yeah I bet! So much easier with the wand and tap.

Hi Russ we are stepping into cuts territory here. As a general rule following still spirits equipment and recommended sugar washes 700-800ml is advised after removing the first 50ml after that you risk entering the tails portion of your wash you will notice the change in flavour often described as wet cardboard.

Another guide you can use is a copper parrot again as a general rule you risk tails when your wash starts producing less than 50% th-cam.com/video/hzH2alBTu6Y/w-d-xo.html

The Hops were from my local brew shop but they also have an online store wickedbrewing.uk/

Home schooling, nailed it! 😉

What's the vinyl prints like Kev?

@jak jak your local brew shop should have one if not check out somewhere like @brew2bottle or @biggerjugs website.

Still Brewing Not available in our African market ... will do search at the mentioned websites ... thx a lot
