Been playing with beersmith and trying to work a clone for Kozel from the dark lager recipes and the little info I could find about it. ie- abv 3.8/4.0%ish and saaz hops. What do you think? Worth a try or full of rookie mistakes? First attempt at creating and beersmith both.

First ag brew went well. Well for the most part it did I got a bit reckless with the pumping into the fv and ended up with a very sticky floor. Used an app that I found on the grainfather site which allows you to add your recipe with additions/steps it times and beeps to remind you to do the...

Going to be doing a first AG brew and first Grainfather brew hopefully tomorrow but certainly within the next few days. Its an American Pale Ale that was provided by Geterbrewed when I bought the gf. The instructions given are showing mashing at 65c for 60mins and no sparge but I'm hoping...

Off to prague for a few days tomorrow and knowing that it is a country well renowned for it's beer I'm keen to sample some. So any suggestions as to what I must sample whilst there? I have had Budvar and quite liked it (even though I can't stand budweiser) when I visited Czechoslovakia as it...

Newbie at all this brewing malarky and need a bit of advice. Been brewing a Beaverdale Merlot for SWMBO along with a beer for myself and thought I had degassed before adding the finings but as it turns out 4 days later the wine is full of gas and not clearing. Been racked to a second fv at 10...

Thanks to MM for organising the comp and phoning to explain the changes to giveaway. I got the dark malt and a Newcastle Dark Ale to brew from the destructions ;) First impressions are good the instructions are straightforward and in this case no additions that aren't covered. Will be...

Enjoyed the bottling process this time but would say the novelty could wear off after a few more goes [emoji3] And now for the long wait. 2weeks at 20c and 2weeks chilled sound right? That would give the 2-2-2 that I saw MM had advised on another thread.

Well I started a beer brewing two weeks ago today Smugglers Ale. It never really bubbled even though the wine kit put in at the same time went off like a rocket bubbling away like nobodies business. The fermenting fridge needs a bit of rejigging as the top is at 20c and the bottom at 23c...

Well I finally stopped procrastinating, reading up on brewing here, got the fridge finished, starsaned the kitchen, the dog, the fermenters and me :lol: Muntons Hand Crafted Smugglers Ale and a kilo of medium spraymalt mixed and gave an og of 1062. Still waiting on the bugger to cool...

I said in the introduce yourself thread that is started to concert a fridge. Will I had a wee busy at it tonight and thought I'd prove I wasn't slacking lol

A friend in work let me taste a few of his brews and its put me in the notion of having a go myself. Abused the forum discount with geterbrewed :whistle: to get myself some gear (good outfit, reasonably near to where I live and I've found them quick to resolve any issues) and I couldn't resist a...
