After over ten years I am finally able to keep a couple of colonies of bees again in my garden (yes I know that's another forum!). Apart from the obvious meads etc I'm looking forward to adding the honey to some of my ale brews. I'm on the look out for some good ideas..... ;) It will be good...

I know I'm wishing my life away.... But us home brewers have to plan ahead!! I mean I brewed my Christmas ale in April ... I'm just about stacked out with beer now for the rest of this year and over Christmas, so now I'm starting to think about the spring and summer supply. I moved house this...

From The Marc Ollosson book. Tomintoul WILD CAT! In the middle of the boil at the moment. I will post a few pics later.

The first one went down so well I'm repeating it. If it turns out half as good as SNPA-1 it will be fantastic! Recipe printed out... Kit ready...... and we're off!! (again)

I have been given a tripel recipe from a fellow forum member (thanks phettebs) and I'm having a crack at it tomorrow. Will post the ingredients etc, in the morning when I've printed them off. Did the starter this morning and just toke a pic of it. Been on the stir plate for about 13 hrs now...

First brew in the new house (man-cave)! A nice simple SMaSH, Styrian Stunner. I hear good things about it so I thought I would give it a go. Post some pics later with a bit of luck!! :cheers:

I have now got my first AG under my belt and followed the guidance to the letter and it turned out ok, if just a little short of the good stuff at the end.. I was just planning my next one when I asked myself a question I didn't know the answer to.. (Does anybody else do that?) If you have a...

The FV is empty and all my beer kits are used up. It's time to start to order in the grains and hops for my AG#1. I started brewing in November 2012 and I am wondering if I'm starting to run before I can walk... I have done about 8 kits and they have all been quite good and a couple have been...

Early this March I am going to start to brew the Brewferm Christmas Ale. I have brewed it before and it is a fantastic seasonal ale. The only trouble is there's not enough of it, 7 lts per can! So this year I'm doubling up. Two cans, 14 lts in one FV. My question is simple. Do I put the both...
