How to Brew Beer or Lager at Home from a Kit

[DaMambo35]

Is it alright if you don't have a lid for the fermentation bucket if not would cling film be ok to cover it?

Nice &easy way 2 make beer,plz tell how much sugar we add to get 5% alcohol gravity?

[wadeanddave]

@TheMahabally depends on how much you're making but for a standard 25 litre its usually around the 1Kg mark I also like to add a sugar item with some flavour in it aswell so it permeates through the beer.

[guitarinchris]

stupid question, but you do rinse out the campden tablet/water mixture after swishing around right?

[nickmitch6]

@guitarinchris Yes that's right.

miles better than messin about bottlin it. I always have the same problem though i wonder if you can help, no matter what i make from kits whether it be bitter, lager or stout it always has the same after taste and generally tastes the same have you any tips on how to improve its taste thanks in advance

[sexylilthug77]

@guptah81 why not try using dark brown sugar? or dry spray malt? even honey, i have just done a brew with brown and honey i cant wait to try it

[marky0283]

@guptah81 You can experiment using dry malt extract to replace some of the sugar, or add some hops. If you are getting a nasty aftertaste then there may have been some bacteria infecting the brew

[mayen67]

can i just use fairy liquid and hot water to clean my equipment

[nickmitch6]

@mayen67 I wouldnt recommend it. Always use a sterilising solution before brewing to kill any bacteria. If you dont then the bacteria could turn your alcohol into vinegar.
