I'm attempting another APA/Lager hybrid today. Its a style I've been really enjoying and I have had some WLP yeast in the fridge that needs using up. Mash was on for 7:30 so its about time I started sparging. :)

I've been wanting to brew Schiehallion for quite a while now but finally got my finger out to do some research and get the ingredients. I plan to get this on tomorrow morning when the house is quiet and with any luck get finished by lunchtime.

Its been a couple of months since my last brew but with a bit of time to spare I thought it was about time to jump back on that boiler again. I've been drinking fantastic Lager/IPA hybrids like Schiehallion, Caesar Augustus and Avalanche so thought I would try and do one myself (it also helped...

I haven't managed to brew since April but a chance arrived this evening to brew. I did a quick scan of the supplies and I was surprised that I had so much left over from the Spring brewing. However the real clincher was the unopened pack of Centennial that was staring at me when I opened the...

I've struggled to get a brew on for the Spring Thing and due to the time left I have had to change my plans from an 80/- to a lighter ale to ensure that it will be ready on time. Hopefully have a quick ferment and get into the cornie within 8-10 days. I have the day off so I will just take my...

Like Kev, I have volunteered to brew a Belgian Brown for the Scottish Craft Brewers Belgian Yeast Trial. I am leaving it a bit late as the tasting is at the end of April so it will probably ony have had a month in the bottle. I am just finishing the boil at the moment and will simply cool in...

I'm going to get some stock beer on tomorrow morning. HLT is all ready to go so it is just a case of getting up at a reasonable time and switching on. I've not brewed with Galaxy before so I'm really looking forward to tasting it :cheers:

There has been a bit of a break since out last weekend meeting but we are pleased to announce that we will be returning to Elgin House in Edinburgh on Sunday 27th January for a meeting and competition. The January meeting is traditionally our best attended meeting so hopefully we can see as many...

I'm all set for a honest to goodness eighty bob tomorrow morning. The HLT is all ready to go so as soon as I am out my scratcher I am good to go.

I've put on a Blonde Ale style beer today (relatively low gravity but high aroma). Given the weather I have had to move the mashing indoors with my 5 gallon setup. The outside tap is frozen shut and the hose is also rock solid so it was nice to start the day in the utility room rather than the...

How to **** off a Frog :lol:

I am going to host another brewday at my house in Dunfermline on Saturday 29th September. The event is open to anyone who has an interest in brewing - new brewers interested in finding out about all grain, more experienced brewers who want to see another setup in action or simply just some...

I am in the middle of a brew evening. Just finishing the boil on 10g of the house APA.

Our May midweek meeting will take place in Elgin House, Edinburgh on 16th May from 7:30pm. Usual format for the evening - its very informal, we sample and discuss the homebrews that are brought along. http://scottishcraftbrewers.org/forum/topic1543.html

My father-in-law is just back from Cornwall and was raving about Tribute and has asked if I would be willing to try and make some. I have found a couple of recipes for it but does anyone know which yeast would be best to use?

I am all ready for an early start tomorrow morning to get the a light hoppy Pale Ale on. My son and I walked the West Highland Way this week so I have rather unimaginatively named the beer after the walk. :D

I just got the budget malt mill as a birthday present from SWMBO. Although I usually get my pale malt pre crushed I thought it would be useful for crushing other malts. Cast Iron Malt Grinder/Mill Had anyone else got one of these as I cannot work out how to put it all together firmly so that...

I am planning to get a bit of an experimental brew on. I want a fairly big APA with good residual sweetness and I also have some German Ale Yeast to use to. I'm going to chuck this into the mix and see how it turns out (Odell use a german ale yeast so it isn't that far out there). I am hoping...
