I've got a 2.5 gallon corny that I've made an apricot witbier for a couple month back, the rest of the brew went into a standard corny keg. I bot the small one as I've been wanting to take some of my brew for mates to try when we go to watch the bsb (next weekend is at setters on so it's time...

Just curious as I've seen some of the other kegs available out there and they state 1mm, the quality of true corny kegs is unsurpassed but I'm just wondering is the wall the same thickness or more?

I'm working on doing two AG brews this weekend, the first I did earlier today, a porter with a green and blacks cacao addition, ill post pics when I download them off my camera. It's went well not sure how the chocolate will make it turn out, was looking to add a little more depth and another...

I've got a brupaks Belgian witbier AG pack, but the instructions are just based on a generic mash a boil spec and the vacuum pack included has the hops, orange peal and coriander seeds all mixed into one. I don't know get, as you wouldn't add them all in 1 go surely? Any help please. Can't see...

Is there a point where u shouldn't have rhubarb steeping any longer? Most recipes say around 4 days that I've seen, not seen anything that doesn't say not to leAve it longer, I've had some steeping for 9 days now, it's softened right up which I think is good, doesn't look off colour or anything.

Ok, following on from my thread yesterday http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=38777 I'm going with this light ale in an attempt to use up some of the hops I've got in the fridge at the moment, target and goldings.... The progress will have to wait for another day. Plus next...

Just wonder if anyone has had off issues with mini kegs? I've used this one twice, first one was fine it was an on the rocks cider, the latest was an all grain wheat beer I did. To be honest I did this about 6 months ago primed it and sealed it up job done..... I forgot about it and found it in...

Afternoon all, well I'm totally snowed in so only one thing to do, get a brew on! :D well in this instance a wilco elderflower wine kit I picked up some time ago. Just a quick question regarding a bit of kit, I bought an electric 75 immersion heater fitted with a bung and airlock, should I be...

Is anyone heading to the siba beerX festival at ponds forge Sheffield? Myself and swmbo are heading over on the train :)

So my last AG brew was a porter I've got some left over hops. I'm looking for suggestions on the next brew to use one or more of these hops to use them up. I can use up to these amounts:- Target - 75g Progress - 90g Golding - 80g And I have these unopened hops but I'd like to hit more of the...

I did my porter AG brew a week on sunday and the fermenting had slowed down and i'd gone from 1050 to 1012 which is where the recipe expected me to be. I was leaving it another day to ensure the gravity stayed the same and now it's started fermenting again (i think) the airlock is bubbling away...

Just wondering what peoples thoughts were, I'm going to get a 6.5kg bottle not sure whether to go for a pure co2 bottle or a nitrogen mix. 100% Co2 30% Co2-70% Nitrogen 50% Co2-50% Nitrogen 60% Co2-40% Nitrogen I know pure Co2 gives a higher carbonation ideal for lagers etc and a higher...

Does anyone here print their own bottle caps? It's something I'm looking into. I've found two companies that do it but i'm interested in the equipment that is used. http://www.bottlemark.com/ http://www.wildhopsprintshop.com/ I like the methods bottlemark use and i know they built a custom...

Merry belated Christmas to everyone. Has anyone drank Batemans Mocha? I bought some from sainsburys recently and I love the coffee and chocolate flavours and aromas. I want to create my own version of this. Has anyone got any suggestions? I was going to brew a chocolate stout as my next AG but...

The WLP400 yeast i had has a use by of 11th November (but that should be ok shoudn't it?). It's been kept refridgerated since i got it, Was probably...

I'm thinking of pulling together some of the ingredients i've got laying around to do an impromptu AG brew with a few spare hours on saturday. Just looking for some ideas as it's been a long week. I could always do a quick dash to the local HBS in the morning if i need any other grains. Here's...

Usually I've leave beers fermenting 10 to 14 days when it's been cooler too. This time I'll have to leave for 16 days as the last couple of days I won't be home enough to even check the gravity, shouldn't be any issues with doing this should there? Also the HBC doesn't mention sugar required to...

Ok so in the morning I'm going to create my first extract brew after doing some kits in recent months. I'm wanting to do some extract before going into AG. I've got what is going to be a daft question but I've looked around on here and in the books I've got and I can't see any reference to it...
