Discovered this brewery at a Punch Taverns event. Only just down the road from me in Barnsley, and producing so fine ales. Anyone else sampled their ales? http://twitter.com/#!/tworosesbrewery http://www.tworosesbrewery.co.uk/

13th/14th May This was a really good bash last year, helped by the fantastic weather, even though swmbo's bra was set alight... A unique venue and a decent festival. http://www.barrowhill.org/

Has any one got any experience with the above. Just started to strip mine down, after loosing 4th, jumping out of second on the down shift and crunching into 3rd, reverse was a bit awkward too. :cry: This was a steady degeneration. Anyway when we removed the tail housing, and top cover, we...

Just stumbled upon this, really interesting programme, worth a listen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00yw6kh/Food_Programme_Malt/

Just about to set up brewery for a Mocha Porter. Needs a name any ideas?

As most of you know, I have recently moved from kit to AG. Over the last year of kits, I have been happy with the flavour of everything I have brewed. I do seem to have difficulty in getting the right level of carbonation when bottling. I have a fantastic coopers stout with treacle that's so...

I have just become the proud dad to 24 of these babys :thumb:

Forgot to start my timer, any problems if I over mash slightly.

OK, today's the day. My first AG brew. Tested all the equipment last night and everything seemed fine. Mash tun held temperature without any extra lagging, but sprung a leak, which I hope I have now sorted. The tap has dropped on the boiler a little, lifting the pick up on the inside when...

This method is a slightly modified version given to me by the Lizard Cyder farm in Cornwall. I have made a few changes. It is a great way to make real cider without going to the expense of fruit presses. Equipment (no I am not joking) :grin: Old fashioned spin dryer (£10 ebay) Garden...

Can anyone recommend a AG book that thakes you through the process and includes recipes. One that can be used as reference and encorage me to try new things would be good. Cheers

Ok here is what I am doing with my boiler. Based on a 30L PP Euro bucker, twin tesco's value elements and lot's of bits of copper. For the strip down of the kettles I followed Bigyins how to :cheers: . A great guide, but I decided to make a few changes as I went on. Firstly I cut no cables...

OK, started plumbing on boiler. :) No visable leaks, but will only empty to just below tank connector. :cry: What have I done wrong? :oops: PS looks like i've got the hang of the photo's too :o

I was all set to buy a couple of Backer elements today, but they are out of stock for the next 3-4 weeks! I wanted to build it this weekend :cry: Anyone got a second or a first best solution. I was prepared to pay that little bit more for the Backer elements for that neater (safer) look. I...

Anyone know if spent malt is safe to feed chickens? Mine love unmalted barley, so if it's safe seems a shame to waste it!

Hi I am just starting to build my AG brewery. Got most of the kit on order (or should I say component parts) Going to make my own boiler using elements from Backer, i was planing to convert a Coleman cooler into a mash tun, when my wife came home with a insulated SS tea urn. I have a problem...

The Missus very kindly arrived with this yesterday: She has spotted something that looks like it will make a fantastic mash tun. The size of the opening is'nt ideal, but I can work round it. The main thing is it is well insulated. The plan was to remove the tap, fit a ball valve and make...
