Had some Chimay last night for the first time, wonderful stuff! Thanks for endeavouring to put together such a thorough AG walk through as well. As someone who is next attempting a partial mash brew, then hoping to go AG, this will be invaluable! Thank you! Also, oatmeal stouts, lovely beers...

transferred to keg today, SG 1015. Had my first taste as well... Damn, I'm impressed! Despite my happiness with early initial success, however, the process was a nightmare. I had the wrong sized silicone tubing for my tap, so I ended up having to run it directly into the keg. Naturally, this...

Cheers all, plumped with a tin of "Golden Syrup" in the end, I have a bottle Chimay and Duvel as well. Never tried the Chimay, when I see what that's like, I'll decide which yeast I'll use ;) Thanks all with the help, and I'll let you all know how it goes when I get brewing (hopefully this...

Absolutely bloody fantastic answers guys! :thumb: I think I'll either have a wonder down the pharmacy and make my own liquid candy sugar ;) Or I'll go for a tin of tate and lyle, or use lemon juice! Either way, thank you so much for getting me out of an awkward hole! I'll be sure to keep...

Hey all! I'm currently planning my next brew, a nice strong Blonde Belgian ale, inspired in good amount by Franklin's and bolty's brews! However, doing my order from brewuk the other day, numpty here forgot to order any citric acid crystals. Knowing that I need invert sugar, and because I have no...

Looking fantastic! Plenty of protein in a wasp, may help head retention, ya never know! ;) Wonderful set up though, looks like an amazing day! :clap:

Happy birthday Tom! Have a good 'un! :drink:

...glad I found this! I'm due to transfer my first brew into a Young's Keg in a week and have exactly this fitting to use when I do! Let me know if you go back to them, inform of anything, and see how it turns out! In the meantime, in 2 minds about using it at all. May just bung the plain...

Welcome Bullseye! Have fun with the brew's! I'm quite a fan of Oyster stout, it's more like a porter than an outright Guinnessy stout. Lovely stuff though!

Great IPA Critch! Loved it, although I spent 30 minutes trying to find it, as for some reason I was convinced it was on the bottle bar... I was a bit of a numpty there! Had some great beers all in all, not sure I'll be grabbing another Lambic again soon... and definitely don't think ending on...

Welcome! Have fun brewing mate :)

1015, he says having a complete punt...

Cheers guys, airlock dealt with and new brewpot being looked for! Almost finished sorting out my recipe for brew#2, going to go for some high ABV Belgian fun cos, damn it, they taste good and the hot weather won't mess them up too much! Just need to finalise a recipe, get the next batch of...

Pompey always as a kid, went and stayed in Poole at Easter though, lovely part of the world Dorset! Also bought a brew called "Piddle in a bottle" from the town of Piddle. My dad drank it, not sure still whether I'm glad or not about that one! :P

Really sorry to see this happening, having had the boil on my first brew the other day, I know that deep seated feeling of panic when you realise everything is covered in wort... only for the deep, chilling realisation that what's even worse- is that you've lost beer :o Hopefully what's left...
