Hi, are you willing to post the liqueur boiler and mash tun bits if I pay you postage?

Thanks very much. Great help :)

Hi everyone, I just need a bit of advice with priming my important honey porter. I'm planning on bottling it tomorrow and I just want to know what my best option would be so I don't end up with bottle bombs. My options are: granulated sugar Brown sugar Honey And coopers carbonation drops...

Excellent thanks for the advice :) not that there is any of my first IPA left, my friends and I have went through it all in a matter of days

I meant when you brew your own from AG, how do you get an accurate BBE, I? know darker beers are pretty much engineered for aging but IPA's aren't.

Yeah felt great, feels like my own unlike the extract which felt a bit like cheating. Looking forward to trying it. I'll also want to send some bottle to a few people on here to critique them if any one fancies it.

I popped open my Ipa 2 days ago. It's very cloudy and has bits of hop pellets/ sediment flouting around. It is however very tasty, huge hit of hops in the aroma, very citrusy. gave my friend a bottle to get an unbiased opinion and he said it resemmbles Blue Moon. On my next brew i'm using a...

Begin my brew, it was a lot easier and less daunting than I thought it would be. My brew is currently cooling over night under my stairs. I've got a good feeling about it.

Great, thanks for the help fellas, I'm starting this one as soon as my 40 litre plastic tub arrives.

The pot I was going to mash in is 27 litres :S so by the look of things I'll be buying a bigger tub, bringing the water to temp and transferring it to the bigger tub. Another question, does the honey in this recipe replace the brewing sugar?

Ok so I top the wort back up to the original amount and bring up to temp.

Thanks So the way I'll do it is, Bring water to a high enough temp (67 if the biab video on here is remembered correctly) let the grains sit for an hour, lift the bag out, drain, pour over some of the liquid to make sure I get all of the wort I can, then continue as I did with the extract...

Hi, I recently posted about my very first brew (an extract IPA) which i'm happy to say that has went without a hitch so far going throughbottle fermentation, there was a slight problem with my bottle capper crushing the necks of the bottles to the point of buying a new one but I haven't let it...

Thanks slid, I can see that happening, she seems to have only child princess attitude at the moment :) My brew was foaming but the airlock wasn't bubbling so I've coated the bottom with vasaline and now it's bubbling like crazy :)

Ah new question, how do you determine the BBE Date as accurately as you have there? I'm planning a honey strawberry brew for my wife which will also be saved for my daughter, I suspect that they will have similar tastes.
