Even after another 24 hours in the bottles it had improved considerably. I only used sugar to ferment so it is a bit 'light' but still very drinkable. I think I under carbonated a little bit. Its not dissimilar to pub served cask ale in terms of carbonation and I prefer a little bit more than that but all in all, pretty damn pleased with the result of my first batch.
Hoping to get batch 2 off and running tonight if I can get chance to pop into wilkos and pick up the wherry. Which fermentables would you recommend for this one taxi?
None at all Crabbers.
Its a twin malt kit and requires nothing adding.
This is why it is particularly good value
Check everywhere else on the web and its £22 or more
Sale of the century at £14
Empty the two tins in bucket,add water to 23 Ltrs and stir well then add yeast and close lid.
Very complicated procedure I know but try to stay with it ; )
Two weeks in the bucket and then prime and bottle and leave for a least another 3 weeks.
Longer if you have the patience !
Logging off now till Monday or Tuesday mate.
Afternoon of paperwork and then grafting until 4am Sunday morning and then ..
And then then and then .. ..
Oh yes oh yes !!!
I'm not too sure tbh. I know some people leave their beer to condition for months (I read about someone who was leaving it 5 months in the bottle before drinking) but I've no idea on how long its good for.bluekat said:Sorry if this question has already been asked/answered, but what is the shelf life of a batch of real ale (Woodford's Wherry for example)?
Cheers
Crabbers said:Bluekat - just had a read through the instructions that came with the woodfordes wherry that I got today. It says that it ages well up to 1 year. Hope that helps!

Wow 1 year?? I wouldn't of thought it would keep that long!!!
I haven't got my kit yet...but wondering if the part where you add sugar, could you add Brown sugar?
Its just that I use this at home, and prefer it to white sugar, much better flavour!!
Taxi???

No additions required mate.
The kit is twin malt and complete.
Just add water and the yeast and close the lid.
That easy !
You could add the brown sugar to prime the beer after fermentation is over.
About 80 gram is good for an ale
Per batch not bottle or youll blow your house up : )
Its a small addition so it wont change the flavour of the kit
Back to work now
Adios
1 year! I was a bit worried it would all need drinking in 2 or 3 weeks, which would turn me into an even bigger piss can! Think I'm going to give this a go.Crabbers said:Bluekat - just had a read through the instructions that came with the woodfordes wherry that I got today. It says that it ages well up to 1 year.
