Sorry location would be helpful 😄 West Lothian or Edinburgh area.

Free to any one local in West Lothian or Edinburgh looking for some extra supplies. All malt has been stored in a dry air tight container. The crystal 40 has expiry date of Oct 20 but is still sealed and doubt there would be any deterioration in quality. Crisp Finest Maris otter malt (EBC 5-7)...

Lucky Freedom please

EVIL TWIN DARK OAKED PORTER PLEASE. Thanks

Count me in on this.

I used 2.1kg of frozen raspberries. Some of the floaters have dulled in colour as the juices have leeched out. Hopefully I get a bit more over the next week. I did help it along a bit with type of malt I used (see post #8).

Just too my first gravity reading after pitching 2 weeks ago and adding raspberries 1 week ago. Sitting at 1.017 with 1 week of dry hopping to go. Not sure if this will drop any more. I will check over the next week and samples taste amazing.

It's a German base malt that can be used up to 100% of the grain bill. It was just a bit of an experiment to see what colour it produced. Not that it matters with this brew as the raspberries should take care of the colour. Definitely gonna be a red/pink beer. I'll post a pic here once it's in...

I've a similar brew fermenting just now too. I changed it up a wee bit though. 2.5kg best red X 2.0 kg wheat 0.25 kg oats Apollo, Citra and Lactose Wort looked red even before the raspberries I've added the rasps but have seen no airlock movement since. I'll take a reading in a week before...

I was hoping to be roughly in the ball park with the numbers they gave. Can I ask where you got your water tested and the price it cost? Thanks

It's not as bad as it looks. If you want to look into it further it's called the EZ water calculator and works everything out for you. Just add required data from here http://www.scottishwater.co.uk/you-and-your-home/water-quality/waterqualitysearch and here...

I live in West Lothian and get my water from Balerno. I have just started dabbling with water treatment as I also felt the hop aroma and taste a bit underwhelming. I also used various methods with leaf and pellet. This is my first water additions based on the latest water report from August last...

Just got an email from Shane at The Homebrew Company, they are doing 40% off all leaf hops. Most of them are 2015 but a few 2016 harvest in there as well.

The only way I can replicate the error is disconnecting the probe. I'll need to give it a good test tomorrow and heat some water. Hopefully it's all good.

The red switch is to operate the element.
