I think most small brewers welcome minimum pricing. The mass produced **** is far to cheap and it will even up the playing field when it comes to spirits and wine. I personally think its a good thing and that 40p a unit isnt high enough. The best thing for brewers would be scrapping of the...

I'd say that if you can't afford to run a fridge, don't build a herms set up. Your talking pence a week. If you want to make good beer then both are just as important. But if I had to pick, as long as you get your strike temp right for what your brewing then fermentation temp all day long.

Cheers matey. A job for this week then. Cream of tartar though? Weird.

Hey has anyone got a good ginger beer recipe? I'm a big fan of hollows as I find it nice and smooth. There's no harsh or acidic flavours in there. Any help much appreciated.

Great for dry hoping though or on transfer to the FV. If I were to paypal you the money would you be able to post this to me? Depending on cost of postage of course. Jim

Got a tweet on the company account earlier from someone who has set out to shame "that shop we can not mention" and the post about them on the money saving expert forum has bloody exploded with complaints. Kudos to whoever is doing it, after reading some of the complaints on the forum im stunned...

What you can taste there is called ACETALDEHYDE and is formed before the yeast has completely converted your sugars into alcohol. As the the guys have said it will improve but a point to note is that this can be caused by stopping fermentation to soon or stressing the yeast. Good luck with it...

Na we dont use crouch yeast, used to. I wouldnt get to hung up on the yeast and we dont bottle condition either ;) . The aim is to clone the beer, so the nearest to the pin wins. You can enter as many as you like. The beers will be judged on- Likeness Bitterness Carbonation Colour Sorry but...

Free or not, I ordered Thursday afternoon and the hops all turned up first thing this morning. Great service and price!

I use one of the plastic brewing spatulars with a cordless, whips it up good and proper!

Hi all, running a comp with another forum and though Id open it up to you to. The task is to clone our 5.2% ESB Lumberjack. All entries will be judged and the winner gets a prize. Recipe is as follows Pale malt 89.5% Cara 1.5% Crystal 6% Chocolate 1.5% T. Wheat 1.5% Hop with Northdrown and...

I like G&T but has to be a nice gin and only slim line tonic with a twist of lemon or Rum and coke. Id love to appreciate scotch but I dont think my pallet is that mature yet. apart from that i steer clear of spirits, too many horrible teenage memories. A whiff of JD or southern comfort and i...

I think the 1 free analyses is just for commercial breweries

Hmm weird. The only options I had was collection or £8 for next day. Got around it by doing 5 separate orders. Got 100g each of summer, galaxy, aramis, bramling X and hallertaur tradition.

Just went to place an order with these and free delivery is only for 1 pack of 100g

I wish I had a set up big enough for one...but they are a pain. I hate the bi-monthly task of taking ours apart at work to clean it.

If anyone in Essex would like some hops, I'm sure we would be able to get a particular variety in for a group of you.

yes, i did worry about the summer thing...at the moment im using 6 SS chiller coils and get to 25-30'c no problem in about 30-40min. I think I may look into making a pre-chiller first. I have a small chiller with python so may look at that before splashing the money on something that may not...

How long is your transfer taking down to say 20'c mate?
