I’ve stackable Wilko (RIP) plastic boxes I use to store malt in. Some loose, some in sealed bags. I reckon I’d have enough storage for 25kg if I repurpose some FV’s for sealed grain. Bathroom scales, personally I prefer the ones that say you’re lighter than you are, my in-laws scales are great...

@Nottsbeer sorry for hijacking your thread. I might be keen if it’s pre crushed. How would you go about splitting it?

Interesting… I thought it was just where the brew day guys brew. I only live down the road in Sherwood.

I’m pretty sure they’re the Brew Day home brew shop guys. It’s the unit next door to their ‘shop’.

Fair the option I’ve discounted already. I reckon I’ll bottle at the end of the month then, stick it somewhere out the way that I can’t keep sampling the odd one.

Which would be……

I’ve just brewed a Trippel SG 1.080 FG 1.010 - 9.19% abv it’s very boozy and needs conditioning. It’s been in primary for about 3 weeks so far. Stopped and dropped out pretty well. My options for conditioning it are. A) leave it in the FV for another month or so to mellow out then bottle. B)...

Just bought a eBay new to me CAAD10 for winter duties and crits next year. Previous bike (and myself) was written off by a massive BMW. Have other bikes but this has been on a list for a while modern retro smash it bike.

I used to work in a brewery. Instead of wearing the issued steel toe boots we used to wear what ever trainers we fancied. One shift wearing suede Adidas Gazelles I spilt some pure caustic gel onto the toe box. I only noticed at lunch when I felt burning and it had dissolved the suede, my sock...

I would say no to a: Weissbier Wheat Beer - Beerworks Craft Brewery Series Kit

Entered order #19307

I’ve chickened out and brewed a Belgium pale ale with a pack of EKG and cross my loof monk yeast. @An Ankoù I read your reply first thing and it made my mind up. Supplies are running low and brew time limited. When the weather gets a bit better and I’ve more options for outside brewing. I’m...

Thanks for the reply’s, sometimes you just need someone else to confirm what you think you might do isn’t too stupid I think I’m going to dump them all in at flame out with a bit of Idaho 7 (and possibly Columbus) in some sort of pale/session neipa type thing tomorrow. Something like: 4/4.5kg...

I have a clip lock plastic box that I keep hops in the freezer. In the bottom of that box is a random mix of hop pellets, around 100g. I generally use Magnum for bitterness and a revolving selection of aroma hops, some new world, some European. Should I: a) use them up as bittering hops early in...

Maris otter and mosaic please.
