I've decided to try a lager after many ales. What's a single ag recipe to get started? The only lager I'd drink in a pub would be Heineken, so something in that style would be good. I can see many recipes online but a recommendation would help. Cheers

I`ve just bought a 2nd larder fridge and was wondering if it`s practical to ferment and serve chilled beer from the same fridge? I know that if the FV(with a heat belt) is sitting at 18-21C then the ambient air will heat up as well but if I used a slab of foam insulation to make 2 separate...

I've been using my GF for a few years now with no real issues but have been thinking about upgrading to the connect unit. Has anyone changed their unit to this and is it worth the extra £109

In all my brews,from kits to BIAB to electric boiler to my current GF set up,I`ve only ever used dried yeast sachets,due to the pure handiness,so I`ve a few questions regarding yeast. 1.Are liquid(bought) yeasts any better? 2.Is harvesting yeast from a brew just a money saving exercise?How do...

I`ll be dry hopping a gamma ray brew soon and will boil the hop bag and marbles but what about the hop pellets?Surely they can`t be 100% clean?

I'm going to brew some Gamma Ray this evening, my 2nd attempt. The recipe states dry hop for 5 days. Now the 1st time I brewed this, I dry hopped for the 1st 5 days of a 14 day ferment. I'm wondering if it should be the last 5 days, same as the additions are added during the boil where the time...

Hi.I`ve just put a Gamma Ray clone into my fermentation fridge and it requires dry hopping.The recipe states to dry hop for 5 days.I usually leave my wort to ferment for 2 weeks,so my question is,do I add the hops now for 5 days,or add them 5 days before I plan to keg?

I've ordered the grain, etc for a Gamma ray clone and intend to bottle half and keg the other half but I'm not sure how much co2 I'll need for the bottles. Any idea how much sugar to add to the bottles? Thanks.

I`ve got a Sierra nevada clone on the boil and the recipe calls for 21g of Cascade at 0 mins and another 21g dry hop for 7 days.How does that work?Do I throw away the 1st 21g before transferring to fv and add another 21g into the fv?

I`ve just invested in a cheap corona mill but have never used 1 and have no idea how to set it up to get a good crush for my GF.is it just trial and error ?

Brand new,still in box.I bought it from a member on here just before xmas but I have never used it,so I`ll sell it to fund buying a grain mill. £55 delivered .I`m in Derry if anyone wants to collect.

Various bottles,free to anyone who wants to collect from Limavady,Northern Ireland. Newkie brown,Abbot ale,Bishops Finger etc etc.

Currently I buy my grains,hops and yeast as I need them,crushed from Geterbrewed but I`m considering investing in a malt mill and buying larger quantities of grain etc. What`s the best way to store them? Cheers
