I've been a naughty boy... :twisted: I've been saving up for a while now to buy a big shiny brew pot for AG. Then I discovered a new hobby that looks fun... Fishing. Just spent half my savings on a rod, reel and other bits and pieces... :oops: on the bright side, the reel is shiny! Back to...

Sadly I have to report my first brewing failure. :( I racked my RGJ + Cranberry and RGJ + Apple wines yesterday. The Cranberry one tasted good already. The apple one however tasted wrong. Not sure how to explain the taste. Probably chemically is the best description. Perhaps I didn't rinse the...

Hey guys, I will be bottling my coopers stout in a few days. Just wondering how much sugar everyone else primed theirs with? I will be bulk priming and was thinking of 70g for the 20L. Is this too much, too little?? (i normally do 90g for 23L Ale) I don't drink stouts very often. So not sure...

We have recently had a good how to guide from screamlead on this. Just wondering if anyone in the UK has done this? We do AG because it's a hobby and we like the control it gives over beer making. i've seen other people on here that grow their own hops. Surely this is the next step? Does anyone...

Hey guys, Just a quick question. I've just de-gassed my WOW and added my stabiliser. Do I back sweeten now or do I have to wait till it clears?

Hi i'm 25, from Leeds and am very new to the homebrewing scene. I have read Plamer's How to Brew twice and found it really interesting. Am now working my way through Papazian's Complete Joy of Homebrewing. I've spent the last month on this and the homebrewtalk forum and have already learnt so...
