Hi there, I'm clearing out unwanted/unused brewing equipment. Will post some items (UK only) but some are pick up only (Fife area, Scotland). 1. Fass-Frisch Party-Star Deluxe tap, including 4 nitro cartridges (Sorry, I'm keeping the C02 cartridges for my cycle pump). I've used it a...

Kinleycat - thanks for the nice review. And no, I don't have a lot of brewing experience. :oops: The year the beer spend maturing in the bottle has done a lot to cover all my brewing mistakes! :thumb: Oh - and I need to appologise to the person who has received my other beer - an old...

Appologies for the late review - an African holiday and a bout of flu on return kept me from writing sooner! Both beers were consumed and thoroughly enjoyed on 23 Dec but unfortunately I did not take any pics! 1. X12 The Bitter End Ruby bitter - It arrived is a 750ml bottle (thanks a mil Mr...

Got this one a while ago. No number but I'm looking forward to tasting it! I will have to open my beers before Xmas day (flying out on the 24th) so can the mods please create a feedback sticky? Thanks!

Eagle X12 has landed! Safe and sound but a bit shaken up. Looking forward to the pint!

Looking good Kev! Are you going to bottle or keg?

:grin: :grin: As I said in my post above - At least it provides a starting point for an argument. :grin: :grin: The link I've provided was in the spirit of answering the question implied in the subject... Hope your beer taste ok - my very first mild is currently undergoing a cold crash and I...

Have a look at the BJCP style guidelines. I'm not sure if the are followed/used in the UK competitions?!. At least it provides a starting for an argument :D . English Brown Ales are category/section 11.

Hi Aleman, Just to clarify - I've only ever done BIAB so I cannot compare it with 3V brewing! It's interesting what you say about mash clarity - BIAB'ers might be their worst enemy by opting for a finer grain crush. I will also have to read up on the thin mash and activity ratio of alpha to...

Kev, Thanks for the event. Note to self - next time take a taxi! Pity I had to leave early. The food was really good and the beers great. I did, however, realise that things were going south rapidly when the famous Aussie lager made it's appearance :drunk: B

Hi Aleman, Why do you say this? I've got an Old English ale and a Wee Heavy that's now 8 months into a planned 12-24 month maturation period. Is there anything I should watch out for when trying the beers? A 70L pot will do - 12kg grains - 50L of initial water - 60L mash volume - 3.87...

Hi Kev, Would like to come but it might only be for an hour or two. Awesome idea. Cheers, b

That looks very nice! The wort seems to be amber instead of brown. Regardless, it will be an awesome pint!

Dr Mike, I've brewed a couple of ABA's and they are probably my favourite beers. I've compared your recipe with the recipes I've followed (Janet's Brown Ale and Dirty Water Brown - both Jamil's recipes) and your malt selection and ratio's looks good. The 10% crystal malts might make it...

I think there's already citric acid in Videne. Don't know if adding more would make a difference?
