Just a 100watt light globe does the trick.

Instead of sugar, try brew enhancer

I don't know about any problems with honey but by the sounds of it there could be with the yeast.

I use 300g of quality golden syrup

okay brewing experts here's my problem.
my last batch of beer was flat but potent as (1.1kg sugar + 250g honey). so i figure it cant be temp making it flat coz otherwise there would have been no fermentation and no alcohol.

when brewing a more alcoholic beer, do you need different yeast? also do you stir the mix up before bottling? the instructions say not to, but my best results have been wheen i have had to carry my keg somewhere else to bottle.

PS. 250g is way too much honey. lol. next time i'll go 150

brew enhancer is pretty much just deifferent kinds of suger, mainly dextrose iirc, with a bit of malt.

This sounds so interesting.

I think i'll give this a try in the summer.

How much space do you need to brew your own beer? I live in a cramped apartment.

don't forget , temp control is just as important in summer as winter, make sure u pick a product that can brew comfortably at a higher temp if u cant keep it cool
