Jim's Beer Kit

I'm pretty sure that the brewing industry has driven hop growers to develop strains that produce more AA per kilo for purely commercial reasons. That's been going on for decades.

Throwing one batch of beer away is soul-destroying; 2 must be unimaginably crap. Sorry to hear it.

Probably a bit more about me fumbling about in the dark though.

If bleach and beer line cleaner can't shift the taint I'd be looking for a refund.

You can only get away without adding sugar if the sugar content in the pressed fruit juice is high enough to give an OG of at least 70 on its own.

You need the follow up video as well - he got the parts and fixed it: -

As Jocky says, the simplest solution is to get it through the lines the same way you get the beer through, i.e. using CO2 pressure if using a keg, or using the beer engine to pump it through if using a cask.
