    Forum face and taste ?

    I’m not promoting the licking of faces but ... It’s becoming apparent to me just how wowza this forum is ( after surfing some others). We brew some fab beers ... and unlike me there are some right game changes in this membership, so...... Why don’t we start a regular face to face festival ...

    Time and Time again

    I’m sure I’ve bleated on about this before ... but as a newbee I need to share this . Conditioning and drinking when it’s ready was a bit of advice I’d previously cast aside ... 2+2+2 means 6 weeks right for drinking ? No No No No For any beginner. The latter +2 is the most important in my...

    Beer and Food ?

    Hi folks - I’ve recently started to pair food with beer and steer away from wine. I’ve managed to persuade SWMBO that a good sour is a fab pairing with fish for example. What’s people’s thoughts on this subject ?

    Blow Job !

    Lost my virginity today ! Came home and my airlock had blown for the very first time since been doing AG and I had a puddle of mess sitting on top of FV ! Cleaned up and replaced airlock and gave everything a good sanitiser spray ! If Mr Hughes recipes are lively like this now see the merits...

    2+2+2

    So... my new found AG brewing voyage continues ..and ... 12 months ago I read about the whole 2+2+2 thing but no doubt like any noob Brewer I continually pushed for 2+1 and a bit ... It’s only now that I’ve grown patience that I’ve realised time is one of the secret ingredients and the above...

    Brew York ! Kicking the old dogs into touch ?

    Daughter brought me a selection of Brew York beers for Xmas. I’d also been bought a selection of Punk dog. Have to say - The Punk was pants in comparison . The juicy IPA’s and sours from Brew York were phenomenal ! Young craft breweries are really beginning to kick these old dogs into...

    Boil time

    Just read an interesting article on boil time. As a novice I’ve always boiled for 60, but the article points out that if your first hop addition is at 30 then boil for 30 ! Interesting. Do people follow this principle ?
