    Cheap Hops - Leeds

    Info for anyone near Leeds. Morley Home Brew have reduced a load of 100g packs of leaf hops to make way for T90 pellets they will be stocking in future. I went last night and there was plenty left so if you can't make it until the weekend I think you'll be fine. Managed to come away with...

    Bottling issue

    I've had a brew on for the past couple of weeks, decided to bottle tonight. Syphoning into the bottling bucket and I've picked up a load of sediment so the beer is pretty cloudy, it was alright before syphoning and quite clear. I decided to leave it 24hrs and finish off tomorrow to let it...

    You know you've got it bad, when...

    You're looking to move house and part of your criteria is whether the garden is big enough for a decent brew shed/man cave or whether there is a room in the house you can convert to the same. I've found a couple of possibilities but nothing that ticks EVERY box yet :-?

    First AG and a bit of a yeast experiment

    Having a free house today I decided to do my first BIAB with the boiler I bought recently. My plan with this is to stick to single malt and single hop with a view to using three separate yeasts to see what effect they have on flavours. I used clibit's simple AG thread as a guide and went for a...

    Well that escalated quickly!

    I started a thread last week about getting into all grain by using Clibit’s simple AG guide. I was planning how to go about doing two one gallon brews this weekend and planning pans etc for the boil on the cooker. I originally planned to do one brew Saturday and one Sunday to make...

    Malt, Hops or Yeast?

    I've done a few kits and have been mainly happy with the results but have always wanted to start on AG once I'd got my sanitising method sorted. I'm going to start with the Clibit's simple recipe as a base for my first few brews. I intend to use these as experiments for flavours so I can...

    2nd Fermentation - How Cold is Too Cold?

    I bottled (and mini kegged) a Bruphoria Dead Phony IPA a couple of weeks ago and moved out to the shed on Sunday for two weeks in the cold. It got down to about -3 where we are last night, is that too cold for this or is it ok to leave the beer where it is?

    Still fermenting?

    Hi all, After doing a couple of beer kits I bought a couple of cheap wine kits in a sale at Tesco recently. I've started a '7 Day' Merlot kit which as it's name suggests should be ready for bottling in seven days. Sitting at between 16 & 19 degrees it is now on day 17 and still...

    Here goes!

    Just put a Wherry in the FV, it's my first kit after a couple of disastrous attempts at AG last year. After reading info on the forum I decided to use a packet of Wilko Gervin (I didn't rehydrate) instead of the supplied yeast but pitched a bit warm at about 28° so hoping that won't cause...
