It is topped up with tap water to 23 litres. But seriously, you can top up to 10litres, 15 litres or even 40 litres (if you have a fermenter that big). It's home brew. Of course, the alcohol content and the flavour (and bitterness) will be affected. The beer kit I used is meant for 23 litres.</p> <p>Since the beer profile is already set, the carbonation part, I place the bottles in a cool cupboard and let it mature. Only when I am planning to drink do I put the bottles in the fridge.Or you can keg it. </p> <p>Your wife likes ciders? Try making apple cider for your wife.

Let me get this.. 8 litres is the output? or do you top it with even more water? Because the second question is what do you do with the bottles? After leaving the bottles at room temp to carbonate you have to chill them down, don't you? So, 8 litres is quite all right, because you'll get 16 0.5 litre bottles, which you can make room in the fridge for... (the wife would kill me though).. BUT, if it's more... How do you do it? Cheers, Alex Hey, thanks for the reply!

I am using an 8 litre pot for boiling the wort and then topping it up with tap water. Depending what type of brewing you are doing, you might not need those huge pots and equipment.

I'm just discovering the world of home brewing and you've got some nice review here. I've set up a website, and I hope that in time I will be able to post reviews of me brewing my own beer as well. :) A little worried about my small apartment though, what about hose huge pots and equipment? Where do you pot it after you boil and pour the wort in the fermenter? Cheer, Alex Hey!
