God only knows what I'm going to come back to !
Got my first beer brew on and its nearly finished fermenting. My question is when do I bottle it? Do I wait for it to clear like wine or do I bang it into bottles straight away and prime it?
Its a Wilkos cerveza kit with a bit extra sugar in
You can bottle it as soon as it's finished fermenting. I usually leave it in the FV for about a week after fermenting as the sediment tends to be harder at the bottom so less chance of disturbing it when you bottle. Just the way I do it like.
I got some beer finings when I bought the kit. Would you not use these then?
Will be pleased to get another fv free so I can get the Wherry kit on.
Would you take some, or be late and go to the shop?

Bad Dad's working long hours this week so I got bored and have set the Wherry away meself.... no tweak, and made it just under the 23 litres as a "straight" comparison before I start the tweaks.
By my reckoning the Coopers should be about ready now - been in the cold garage about 10 days now after conditioning on the landing for 2 weeks or so...
Also bottled the gooseberry wine (haven't tasted it yet apart from the sly sip when I started the siphon...yeah I know you shouldn't, but...) and the redcurrant & grape so that's another case of wine under the stairs
Just a gallon of raspberry to rack now but it's settling a bit after I disturbed it carrying downstairs.
Very short of white wine here - it's all pink(ish) so am toying with lashing out on a Pinot Grigio kit to make for Christmas. Rumour has it that if you don't rack it and prime the bottle you can get a Prosecco-ish result ??
Mine is very nice after 5-6 months. Better than some stuff I've bought.dunno about fizzing it up, but can't see why it wouldn't work. Careful which bottles ya use mind.
I've got a few 750ml swing tops left from the elderflower champagne - or failing that it'll go into the plastic beer bottles
My TC Seems to be coming along nicely still bubbling like mad after 4 days. hopefully be able to bottle it on Monday or Tuesday.

Aye if you want the bottles to explode![]()
Never use them unless you like your beer as flat as a witches tit.
Spotted a Pineapple with Coconut juice while i was out shopping, gonna try and make a wine with it.

Been to two Sainsburys and two health food shops and none had any corn sugar, so I've found some online and bought twice as much as I need. I think I have all I need to do an all grain batch of bitter plus an extract version too.
I think the point of using corn sugar is that it's not totally fermentable so it sweetens the brew a little, so I may be able to use it for my Tiger lager instead of saccharin tabs. If not I suppose it will just come out a bit stronger and more dry so I can live with that.
Just have to sit and wait for deliveries now.
