Hi, Is anyone selling a grain mill? Cocked up and bought whole grains, but don't have the cash to buy a new mill. Thanks

Question for the informed! Are there any hops that don't work as a single hop ale? I'm thinking basic grain bill. Pale malt with a 5% crystal malt addition and a touch of torrefied wheat for body. I have allsorts to use up Thank you

Glenfiddich have released a new whisky finished in IPA casks. https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/34497/glenfiddich-ipa-cask-experimental-series I need this!

Than beavering away in the kitchen for 6 hours, waiting two weeks, beavering away for a couple of hours bottling, waiting for a couple of weeks, opening that first bottle and... ppst. The tiniest fish fart of a fizz that fizzles away to a flat pint in seconds. Sigh.

Which one do you go for? For example, there is the odd recipe in GH book that states a colour, but mostly it just says crystal. What would you consider a middle of the road, average colour is? The last lot I picked up, without much thought, was 140L. Which I'm now thinking is pretty dark!

That lets you input all the ingredients you have, then spits out possible recipes you can make?

So, t'other day I had my first rye beer. Guinness Rye Pale Ale of all things. I was pleasantly surprised. Can anyone recommend any other good rye beers that are easily found in the shops for me to try? (And ultimately brew!)

Heads up - Lidl have the Belgian beer six packs in stock again. �£10.99 While stocks last! Probably not long...

Hi all, I have a few small fermenting vessels for sale. First, I have four, 5 litre amber glass bottles with drilled lids for airlocks. £10 each. Second I have two, 9 litre HDPE containers with drilled lids. (For the cautious, these don't have a good safe symbol, but are HDPE2)...

I'm digging for inspiration here. I'm planning a brewery/bar building for my garden, and I want to make the best use of the space I can in there. So, show me your compact builds! I could of course buy a grain father, but I'm a tight Yorkshireman, so I'm looking for DIY ideas. I'm thinking...

An odd question borne out of necessity. Are there any particular styles of beer that are more suited to kegging than bottling? I am running low on bottles, only having the type of bottle that is more difficult to cap left. (Badger beers etc.) I daren't risk a load of filled bottles that I...

Thought I would post as some may be interested. Ossett brewery (my local brewery) are holding an open day Saturday 3rd sept. As well as brwewry tours, there is food, music and so on. See FB link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1812086549077847/?ti=cl

Hi everyone, I plan on making the spiced honey beer recipe from GH book at the weekend. Now normally when I make a beer, after it is cooled I sieve it through a 20# filter into the FV, to remove the hops mainly. If I do this with the spiced beer, will I be removing the coriander seeds and...

I had a go at a little experiment last night, making my first TC. Not sure if it will turn out OK, but it's cheap! I'm wondering if I should add some sugar though? Here is what I made (in each fermenter) 3 litres Lidl apple juice concentrate 1 litre summer fruit drink 250 ml strong tea...

Does anyone use this to dechlorinate their water? I have enough of the stuff to dechlorinate a few million litres of water, left over from my fishkeeping days. I appreciate it does nothing for chloramines, but this isn't a problem with my water supply. Thank you

I used a keg for the first time recently, not really successfully. I'm sure everyone is aware of the issues with King Kegs. Anyhoo, my beer may have been as flat as a fart, (last few pints anyway) but it's so clear! I'm amazed. Never had this clarity from a bottle. This is the only upside to...

Hi all, Not sure if this should be in here or the general brewing section. Please move if appropriate. A while back I had a bit of an experiment adapting the pale ale recipe from Greg Hughes' book, to use up my remaining ingredients. I used the exact same ingredients as the pale ale, just...

Sorry, couldn't think of a better thread title. While watching the not particularly popular Hairy Bikers pub series, something caught my eye. They were in Robinsons brewery, and the manager/owner took Si into the fermenting room. The fermenter was a big open topped thing, and I thought...

I bottled my IPAlmost tonight (couldn't think of a better name for it!) There was masses of trub/stuff inbthe FV and despite my best efforts a lot got in to the bottling bucket. The last bottle I filled has around half an inch of sediment in it. Is it worth keeping? Or will it taste so off...

Well, yesterday when I got in, I thought I would have a go at my first AG batch. Amarillo single hop ale from GH book: 5kg Maris Otter 250g Carapils Amarillo hops 54g at boil 27g at 55 mins 27g at 65 mins 83g at end of boil Things didn't go entirely to plan Heated strike water, charged...
