Hello everyone A few of us in Portsmouth have decided to organise a regular get together for homebrewers in the area. We are meeting for the first time at 7pm on Tuesday 4th March at The Leopold Tavern on Albert Road in Southsea. If you're in the area, come along and play a part in the birth of...

I keep mine at 8c. I am a heathen from a country where we see the sun more than a handful of times a year. It's just the way I like it.

A few years ago when I mentioned upgrading my brewing process to improve my beer, my plan was to use a fridge as a fermentation chamber. The advice I got from a friend was that the best way to improve the enjoyment of my beer was to use the fridge for a kegerator. It was the single best piece of...

I've used MaltMiller since meeting him in Skipton a few years ago. The fantastic service really is normal business for him. I don't see how it could be any better...

Woah, Rapido! Cheers JP, ordered on Friday afternoon and arrived today. Champion.

I'm not totally convinced by this article either. Surely any losses in flavour can be rectified by recipe adjustment? I fine my beer because I like it to look good. I then base my recipe decisions on what the clear beer tastes like. If I need more hops, I add more hops. I've never thought "my...

I brewed this on Sunday and I'm looking forward to it.

I was in the JDW in Repton on Friday night and had a few. I also had the choco brownie thing which was a bit much. I also had an unremarkable American Bitter Red and then a surprisingly good Cream Ale. I had already visited a few other pubs before I wandered into JDW, it was the £2,50 burger...

I have a few cheap plastic kegs that I transfer to from my FV, I'll fine in them and then transfer the bright beer to my cornies.

Hi there Naturals. This forum is a good place for info if you really keen to get ahead in this hobby. You are also lucky enough to have 4 homebrew clubs available to you in London. I'd recommend joining one too.

This morning I placed a large order with my usual homebrew supplier but forgot to ask for all the grain to be uncrushed. Rob contacted me before he processed the order just to check if I'd like it crushed or not. He obviously pays attention to my buying habits and noticed I'd missed this. I...

The missus and I spent a weekend in Ghent and we loved it. The best bar we went to was the Backdoor @ Sint Amandstraat 26. The best selection of beers and a great vibe. We stumbled out of there at 4am after spending a lot of money on beer.

Looks good Man, I'll be there. :thumb:

aw ****, just realized I've entered a beer in the wrong category... :doh:

I'm there all day today (Tuesday) with work. Going to be fun... :cheers:
