Hi all great forum you have here,

Been brewing kits for six months now and have just jumped up to doing BIAB,
Have a amarillo single hop which went a bit crazy conditioning and a ruby mild bubbling along nicely in the kitchen that I have high hopes for.

Hope you don't mind the odd rookie question being asked!

Cheers
John

Welcome John

Don't be afraid to ask any questions, we are all learning all the time.

You tried your amarillo yet?

No its been bottled for a week now.
It all went a bit pear shaped when I added 500g of extra malt because BIAB is meant to rubbish at getting a good OG. I ended up with 1070! which I got down to 1060 by adding boiled water. Then 3 days latter I was wondering where one of my hop bags was?? Turns out id left the flame out hop bag in the FV that I cooled the wort in. So I had to fish that out of the crusty fermenting wort crust.
It will be a miracle if turns out good, but here's to hoping.

Hi John
Forgot to say I am also in West Berks (north of Newbury). I have a fair bit of spare kit (including a complete 3v system) so feel free to pm me if you are short on something (or want to borrow the 3v system)

Nice one thanks for the offer, I'm just above Thatcham so pretty close.
likewise if you need a bit of malt quickly or something id be happy to help.
I go to reading for most bits and Aldershot or post for what he hasn't got. Anywhere else local you could recommend?

I mainly use Aldershot in addition to the online companies.
The Malt Miller is in Swindon and I believe you can pick stuff up from there rather than have it posted.
