one for me please.

Just building my AG brewery and this was a great way to save money. a very good 'how to' guide! thanks

well i think i will try it, if i do make a full 23L batch, i may bottle half using conventional methods then add the caramel to the other half prior to bottling. this way i dont ruin a whole batch if it all goes wrong.

Hi Rab, I also joined recently and I have found quite a few good tips on here! Anyone else notice there is quite a growing crowd from Wales? and I thought it was the Scots that were too tight to pay pub prices!

My reasoning behind the condensed milk is that milk or sweet stouts are made by the addition of lactose, which is a non fermentable sugar found in milk. this should make the caramel non fermentable thus making the beer sweeter but no stronger. Muscovado sugar was what i had added last time and...

I recently made a rather good stout using raw cane sugar and I want to try to take this a little further this time. i intend to brew a stout using only dark malt, probably from a dry only kit. then do a second fermentation using raw cane sugar, prior to bottling, i will then add my own caramel...

Well i like a beer goblet, but i do like my ale strong so it means you cant go refill too often if your legs dont work!

I have never brewed anything but kits - yet, so ive nothing to compare against. but i do intend making the step over to the dark side in the end. I do play around with the kits now and find that makes a big difference to the taste. I have just made a nice stout with a cinder toffee after taste!

Fantastic! I have just been asking about labels. Far easier to use your site than to make from scratch in photoshop! Great work

The health food shop in Ulverston called Appleseeds has a bit in. I was in there yesterday and they had FVs, Pressure barrels, spray malt etc. not a great range but not too bad!

been there, not much on offer any more. i remember them having loads at one time, but thanks for the suggestion

Hi Baz, Another from Cumbria, well sort of! I have found it very difficult to find a good local shop. i have had mixed results with online shopping. depends on where you buy from, some sites are great, while others are well below parr. I have an order outstanding that I placed over 6 weeks...

Its nice to see another Cumbrian on the site... welcome!

I have 6Kg of rasberries in my freezer, and will hand them over to Mrs bob to see what she can produce. any good recipies? I found a great patch of wild rasberries and strawberries this year, but i ate most of them, the ones in my freezer are from the garden :roll: .

I brewed Elderflower last year, but found it too sweet. I now leave the wine to the Mrs and stick to the beer. welcome to the forums from another relative newbe.

I have one bottle of the rochford 10 left, so if your not drinking that one on your self........ :cheers:

Just bought myself three Brewers choice kits from Brupaks. I have made the Extra stout and the German Lager last nite. I found it great fun to do. took ages compared to the normal kits and gave me a lot more choice in the final taste of the beer. Lets hope it comes out OK. I just need my...

Do you all use hairspray to stop the ink from running?

Cheers for the help aneray. I would never have thought of hairspray! I'll let you know how I get on.

Does anyone know of a good and cheap way to make my own labels for my beers? The problem with printing your own is that they always run if they get wet.
