Not posted for ages don't really know why but I'm off this half term and brewing like crazy, mostly due to the weather but also because I'm trying to get stock levels right for Christmas. So far this week I've kegged my own all EKG IPA and Dave Lines Barnsley Bitter (with the pale malt upped and...

Ok so I've been reading around and couldn't find a definitive recipe for a beer similar to Gingerbeard so I'm going with this to see what happens. Captain Carrot Ginger Ale Original Gravity (OG): 1.045 (°P): 11.2 Final Gravity (FG): 1.011 (°P): 2.8 Alcohol (ABV): 4.42 % Colour...

Hmmmm doing a 50/50 wheat/pilsner and attempted to discover how difficult step decoction was with my set up...aimed for 20 mins at 50c, 60 mins at 62c and 60 mins at 70c. Well I overshot the second step and did an hour at 66c, its bang on 70c now but not sure I can be bothered to leave another...

Need to bottle pilsner and marzen today and then get stuck into a wheat beer. Not worked it out yet but going with 50/50 mix of wheat/pilsner and I have hallertau mittlefruh, spalt and tettnang hops. Step decoction not really an option.

Here's what it looked like until yesterday and with the help of some scavenged worktop and support legs I think the new legs qualify as shiny! Will need some more shelves next to get some of the under counter stuff off the floor for when I get round to a brew fridge...this bit's as much...

Bit of a leftover brew I had exactly 4.444kg of pale malt so to continue the discworld theme I'm naming this after the continent of fourecks. The hop combo is also using up what I've got. Going to get this on before going to Franklin's Gardens for Saints v irish and then will boil later so it...

Could be ideal for someone, sadly I very much doubt I have the cash!

Ok so I've got 3kg pilsner and 500g each of Vienna, Munich and caramunich, 100g of spalt hops and some saflager s23. Not entirely sure what I want to do was planning to use all the malt except caramunich which I was just going to add 100g. Then use about 60g of spalt at start of boil and 20g...

Ok so I'm on series three of breaking bad and hank schrader has just survived (well he wasn't dead at the end of the episode) an attack by the Mexican psycho cousins of tuco. I got quite emotional I wonder if schraderbrau has anything to do with it?

The bloke I got this recipe off believes if he could only make one beer this would be it. This must be the 6th time I've done and it's a real winner. For those who remember it's the beer from Rich and Dave's challenge. 81.94% Pale Malt 4.6kg 9.98% Crystal 90 560g 8.08% golden syrup 454g 1.7...

Yesterday I had my first ever pint of wherry in a pub. nicer than the kit but you can taste the similarity.
