FAQs

What essential equipment do I need for this kit?

You will need a fermentation vessel with an airlock, a thermometer, a hydrometer, a sterilizing solution, a syphon, and bottles or a keg for packaging.

Does this kit contain alcohol?

The kit contains the ingredients to produce alcohol during fermentation. The final alcohol content will depend on the brewing process and specific gravity readings.

How long does fermentation take?

Primary fermentation typically takes 5-10 days, but this can vary depending on the yeast strain, temperature, and the specific gravity of the wort.

Do I need to add sugar?

No, this kit is formulated to produce quality Real Ale without the need for extra brewing sugars.

What is the yield of this kit?

This kit is designed to produce approximately 40 pints of beer.

Can I brew this kit if I've never brewed before?

While the kit includes instructions, it is recommended to have basic homebrewing equipment and a foundational understanding of the process. It's best suited for those with some prior experience or who are willing to learn the fundamentals.

Troubleshooting

Fermentation not starting

Ensure the yeast was activated correctly and pitched at the appropriate temperature. Check that the fermenter is sealed with an airlock and that the ambient temperature is within the yeast's optimal range.

Off-flavours in the finished beer

This is often due to poor sanitation. Ensure all equipment was thoroughly sterilized before use. Check fermentation temperature stability, as fluctuations can lead to off-flavours.

Beer is cloudy after bottling

Allow sufficient conditioning time for the beer to clarify naturally. Cold crashing (chilling the beer before packaging) can also help sediment settle. Ensure proper fining agents are used if recommended by specific recipes.
