Could do a short video showing how you prepare that kind of bottle for use? Do you do them just like regular bottles, or do you have to do anything different because of the cap?

@Echo5joker I just dip the cap in sanitizer. I use a bottle washer, the same red one I have used in my earlier bottling videos. You put sanitizer in the washer and push the bottle down on the stem to squirt sanitizer into the bottle.There's enough sanitiser in the washer to dip the cap in while doing this.

Hi Craig! Great review and beer the beer looked great! i'm a great fan of St. Peters too, but I was wondering on one thing. In this vid. your ruby red looks a lot paler than a ruby red. The ruby red should be darker, almost like a brown ale, with a red ruby-ish colour. Is this because of the lighting in your living room or?

@Shibbster87 I had the exposure of the camera high because I was wearing a white T-shirt and didn't want my face to be dark from the bright sun shining on the shirt. Probably a bad choice of apparel, but the sun wasn't that bright when I was setting up. Also, the camera probably didn't register the color of the beer accurately. I did think it looked like the picture on the box. :)

You composed the theme yourself? It sounds very professional. I love it.

Will a brew belt left on constantly result in any complications ?

Glad to hear you're a fan of St.Peters! I live just a few miles from the brewery and it's one of my favourites. The Ruby Red is much darker when you buy a bottle but your brew does look just like the pic on the box so presumably the kit version is meant to be lighter.

Keep your eye out for Woodforde's, Adnams and Green Jack breweries. All first class breweries from my neighbourhood and all produce bottled beers that you might just stumble across!

Hey Craig, loved the video. I bought one of these packs yesterday and will be getting the fermenting going tomorrow. This will be my second ever homebrew batch and your vids have really helped. Keep up the good work and cheers!

Hey I live near the St Peters brewery in Suffolk UK, just a couple of villages away. Great video!

I just gave away my last bottle of St Peters Ruby Red Ale and the drinker couldn't stand straight afterwards so it's matured into rocket fuel. They loved the flavor though :)

I watched this video and before it had finished I had placed an order for it on a home brew website :P
