I&#39;ve taken a sample at two weeks and (tonight) at three weeks, and what I&#39;m getting does not feel right! After four weeks, my previous brews were all very lively out of the barrel and were nice and clear. Now, I know this has only been in the barrel for three weeks, but it&#39;s flat as a pancake, very cloudy and full of bits. The bits may be bits of hop following the dry hop, so I&#39;m not really worried about them, but the beer does not taste right and although I don&#39;t like fizzy beer, I would have thought that the three weeks it&#39;s been in the barrel would have generated some CO2 (I batch primed it).</p> <p>I&#39;m guessing that the cap may have leaked, which would explain the lack of CO2, but should the beer be so cloudy after three weeks? Can I save it with a CO2 cylinder and/or finings?</p> <p>This was the brew where I had a bit of trouble siphoning (see my previous post), and I&#39;ve had bad feelings about it ever since. Who said you couldn&#39;t go wrong with a Wherry kit? Any advice or helpful remarks much appreciated!</p> <p>Keith </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/brewing-blog-thingy#post-30301 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:43:05 +0000 Mark 30301@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Just could not bring meself to say that horrible word facebook in post 5 hence i blanked out three letters &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/coopers-brewmaster-sparkiling-ale-question#post-30300 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:40:15 +0000 Mark 30300@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>No you can&#39;t replace a kilo bag of enhancer for the 2.3kg of fermentables you have listed. For a start it will be about 60% abv weaker. I would make it as it&#39;s supposed to be made.<br /> But save the enhancer and buy a single can kit and replace the 1kg of sugar (like for like) with it, then you will have a better bodied and tasting end product. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/coopers-brewmaster-sparkiling-ale-question#post-30299 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:31:01 +0000 ihatenissanmicras 30299@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Well you could but its not going to be as designed and a brew enhancer wouldnt even be half the fermentables that its designed to be brewed with.It looks like a pricey kit to brew but cutting corners may ruin it. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/brewing-blog-thingy#post-30298 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:28:42 +0000 seamus48 30298@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Help yerself mate...

Try extract, you will not be disappointed. The modern can kits are really good but Gregs extract kits are the dog&#39;s proverbials. The TWA for instance is a real head-turner.
