As a newbie to home brewing, could I ask what are your views on bulk priming, I’ve done both ways, obviously bulk priming is easier and quicker, but is it as effective, particularly when using better quality kits , thanks
2-5 days in warm? I've seen many say 2 weeks in warm, 2 weeks in cold? 2-5 days is significantly lower than 21-28 days.. thats a lot of space for things to be very different eh...
2-5 days for the yeast to eat the sugar and convert to co2 i.e. carbonate. Clearing/conditioning is a bit different. In short; you can drink it after 2-5 days and will be just fine, but left to clear/condition for a further 2-4 weeks and you’ll likely get a much better beer. That said, all depends what you’re brewing and how patient you are.
Isn't it important to say that you usually use brown bottles for beer as clear bottles don't stop UV which will turn your beer into a disgusting pee-like drink?
One big advantage of the little bottler is that when the beer fills to the top of the bottle and you take the bottler out, it leaves the right amount of room.
Fantastic video with loads of information and no waffle.And straight to the point .... Many thanks ....
Fantastic for starting out brewing.
Great video for a first timer. Very informative, thanks.
Can you show how you put the rubber seals on the S30 valve I have a nightmare. Thanks

stupid question maybe, as a beginner fancy jumping in with both feet and getting a keg. How again do you fill it without sediment please?
Learnt a lot there. Cheers 🍻
great, you're welcome
How much gas does it take for a 5 gallon barrel and can you bottle the brew immediately after gassing the barrel?
Excellent video 👍👍👍👍👍 love it

@@RC-pz5jz in all the brews I've done using sugar to carbonate.. in a space that maintains about 21c I've never had full carbonation in that time.
@@RC-pz5jz I totally agree though, the longer left the better. I try to leave my brews for 6-8 weeks from bottling / keeping if I can.
@@nickjones7737 I’ve impatiently drank after 4-5 days to “test” and the carbonation was fine. Definitely drinkable but would like longer
@@RC-pz5jz in England, in winter.. its not really long enough using sugar for carbonation in my experience.
I'd send this script to Rainbow, and let Zippy, George and Joefrey deliver it... lol

this is super, thank you
Thank you - Glad you liked it!
How far do you fill bottles before capping
Always leave about 25-35mls of head room from the top of the bottles

Home brewers don't care about a wee bit of sediment in bottom of glass. Vitamin b12

Put the sugar in the wort bro!
maybe invest in a lapel mic lol
good point - our newer videos have better audio
