    25kg bags of brewing sugar

    Brewing sugar (listed as Dextrose Monohydrate) 25kg bags at £20.25 is cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Delivery is £10 but that's still only £1.21 a kilo, or you can order up to 4 bags at that price and reduce the per kilo price even further. https://www.vantagehouse.com

    How to make a mini/easy keg draught tap

    I made my tap based on this guide, but I found that info was missing or not obvious, so I'll try to make everything clear (then when I fail at clarity you can ask questions and I can update accordingly). Parts: Bung, the grey rubber type with the plastic core plug, as seen here. On that site...

    Suggest me some hops

    In a previous thread I asked about whether people acquired a taste for hops as I was a bit unsure about my latest hopped brew. In the end I liked the brew (2+2+2=yum) so I asked for suggestions for some hops to try, but tagged onto the end of an old thread may not have been the best place, so a...

    Hops taste

    Being Scottish I'm not used to hops, and having followed the advice of dry hopping as a cheap way of improving kits I've ended up with some brews that I'm not really sure I like. The first was a better brew Czech pilsner with a saaz hops tea that was really quite foul to my palate until it was a...

    is this infected?

    First time using LME though probably not relevant, I've just gone to transfer from fv for bottling and the surface had a white layer. When the surface was disturbed it "cracked" and broke up into sections. I started syphoning while I went for my phone to take pics as I wasn't thinking...

    2 pressure barrels - free

    Up for grabs in Edinburgh area. This type of thing: They've leaked due to a combination of me not prepping the taps properly and using too much sugar, and given that I don't have a fridge large enough, and have other solutions for things that do fit in my mini fridge, I'm not interested...

    Sugar to LME ratio

    Hi, aside from a 2 can kit I've been using strictly brewing sugar with my kits and I've been really happy with the results, but I want to see for myself how much of a difference using a malt extract instead will make. I'm going to do 2 Finladia 1kg Ale kits, one with 1.5kg BH Light LME, and...

    Essential Brewing equipment - Shower Cap

    Well it's essential if, like me, you have dandruff. I only recently got back into homebrewing after 5 or so years out. Back then I had some very nice wines but pretty much all my beers were poured out. This year I've done about 8 successful brews and the three things that I changed were : -...

    Dechlorinating tap water

    Hi, having done a websearch I've found a few posts about how to declorinate tap water but one thing I'm not sure of is if I can add a beer kit and water to my fermenting bin and then dechlorinate, or if I should treat the water in advance. Any suggestions?
