Thought I would document one of my kits, its fixby gold from brupacks:
Hop and grape sent my package overnight so I had to go and collect it in the morning - nobody in!
You can click the pics for bigger versions.
Cleaning my kit before use:
Getting my yeast started - cooled pre boiled water and half a spoon of sugar:
The yeast after about 30 mins:
The tins in hot water to warm up the extract, one at a time as my pot wasn't that big:
Both tins poured into my pot and rinsed with water to get everything out:
My pot holds about 5lt so could have done with something a big bigger, getting about boiling temp now:
had about 2lt of water boiling away and added about 1/2 lt of the boiling extract and threw in the hop bag:
Both going together:
Cooling the extract in the sink:
Removing the hop bag from the pan:
Pouring everything into the FV:
Topped up with water – that’s about 20lt - but topped up to 21.5lt after this pic was taken, also aerated for about 10 mins:
Checking the temp to make sure it was at the correct for the yeast:
Pitching the yeast:
All mixed together with the lid snapped on and left under the kitchen table!
Thanks for viewing cant wait to get into it!
