Hi all. I'm going to be getting AG#5 underway on Saturday, and possibly AG#6 on Sunday if things go to plan. For AG#5 i am going to make a darker beer, i think i'm going to give GW's version of Fuller's London Porter a go. I'm not sure if i can post the recipe here from his book due to...

Hi guys, Today i'm going to be trying to brew Graham Wheelers version of Old Speckled Hen. I've made a few slight grain and hop weight alterations to the recipe to get it in line with Brewmate as the ABV & EBU were slightly off. Look forward to seeing how it turns out. :)

Hi folks, I've been looking at the recipes in Graham Wheelers British Real Ale book (3rd addition). Alot of the recipes require varying amounts of sugar, usually between 100g - 750g depending on the recipe, why is this? I thought sugar bumped up the alcohol % but did nothing for flavouring...

I've had a thoroughly enjoyable day today producing my first AG beer, its been a fairly long brewing day, i started at 10am and finally pitched my yeast and left it to do its thing about 4pm this afternoon. Ok it has been a bit more work than making a kit beer but it has been so much more...

Hi all, I'm approaching my first all grain brew (probably next week) and am currently trying to take in as much info as i can to increase my knowledge of the art of AG brewing to get me off to a decent start. I have been having a play with Beer Engine and making up a few mock recipes just to...

Hi all, After brewing several kits (Coopers, Festival, Woodfordes, Brewferm etc) i have decided i want to try and learn the black art of all grain brewing. I have invested in a mash tun, a boiler and a chiller as i'm not the DIY type to make my own lol. The next stage is buying ingredients...

Hi brewers, I've bought myself a couple of Brewferm kits as i fancied trying a couple of Belgian style beers. As the kits only make 9 litres i decided to double up the brews so have bought 2 x Brewferm Triple and 2 x Diabolo kits. I am going to make the brews using candi sugar as recommended...

Hi folks, Up until now i have bottled my beers, priming my bottles individually, however this time round i have brewed a Festival bitter and decided to keg it. I've used a Youngs 5gal beer keg. I have batch primed the beer using the sugar provided with the kit and sealed the keg. My question...

Hi folks, Hoping someone may be able to advise me on the following, I have recently brewed a St Peters Ruby Ale Kit, its been in the fv for about 12 days and all seems to have gone well. I brewed it to 21 litres, and i have just bottled 16 pet bottles of it. The bottles was primed...

Hi folks, My first brew is well underway now and i'm already thinking about my 2nd brew, a Coopers Stout. My first kit (Aussie Lager) came complete with Brew Enhancer 2 and it was just a case of following the instructions, but i'm not sure what to use with the stout. Being a complete noob to...

Hi folks, I got my first brew underway last night, A Coopers Australian lager kit, it was very simple to do and took me about 45 mins from start to finish. I must admit i was a bit paranoid about keeping everything sterile and clean and was scared to even breath near the equipment lol...

Hi, New brewer here from sunny Donisthorpe and complete novice to this fine hobby. I was bought a 30 bottle wine making kit for christmas, and must say i really enjoyed the experience of making my own wine, and drinking the results was all the more pleasurable knowing it was the fruits of my...
