How did this work out Blueshed?
makes me sad to see a thread with no replies... 

[Blueshed]

it was infected, tasted of bitter vinegar and smelt of rotten grapefruit. apart from that it was ok 

have 2 brews bottled almost 3 weeks, will put up reports next week all going well.

Unlucky.

I found a couple of these kits (& the Bitter which was quality in BrenMurph's) last week so going to getthem on next week. Get a few kegs of easy drinking beer for these dark nights.

Sorry to hear it Blueshed. Win some, lose some 

Just curious though... What did you do with the orange, lemon, cloves, cardamon and fennel?
Did you bang them straight in or did you give them a quick boil to soften and sanitize them?

Put in 300ml of boiled water for 15mins, strained then put 300ml into FV.
