Dad of jon will try it out,cheers. Think my brewing days are numbered alas:sad1:

Due to continued ill health and abstaining i got the missus to try and get a bottle of Nanny State to try out.Tesco sold out so she grabbed a Franziskaner weeissbier. Not a great fan of wheat beer but it wasn't terrible,had worse. Oh for a proper beer!:beer1:

I no longer do kits but re hydrate my yeasts and find a much quicker start up,so easy as well.

Did a Wilko stout way back with added black treacle,around a quarter tin along with some dark brown sugar plus a hop tea made with willamette hops and brewed short. Came out quite well. Watch the black treacle amounts,don't go bonkers with it.

Thank you

Thanks for the wishes

I use the 454 grm jars of h and b for partial mashes and grab em when on offer and never had a problem with it,also used the potters which is a lot darker,good for stouts etc.

Cheers, might be a while yet :eek:.I do look into the forum now and again but not much to contribute though:(, asleep most of the time due to meds:doh:
