my first brew (now with pics)

[emyrjones88]

Just made my first brew brought a starter kit from Wilkinson’s it’s a young’s brew buddy bitter just wondering wot do I do as the bucket doesn’t have an airlock on the lid so do I need to release pressure by opening the lid once in a while? Also the temperature drops to about 16 c at night will my brew be ok?

Just realised that I have posted in the wrong section if the moderators want to move it. Had a look this morning an there is pressure in the fermenting bin so I guess everything is going ok. Also just wondering if I put my bottles through the dishwasher should I still sterilise them?

Took a gravity reading today after 9 days in the primary fermenter it was 1.008 going to levee it in there for another 5 days as its still producing bubbles. Smells good. Here are some pictures from day 2

Had a taste today was grate, only been conditioning for a few days so if it gets better will be very impressed. Thanks for all the help everybody. This is a picture of the ale



Yesterday I started a EDME stout kit and this is how its looking so far







Have done both kits so far with normal sugar, going to try the next one with spray malt or buy a 2 can kit.
