Thanks guys for the replies gives me something to think about further, but it is a lot clearer in my mind. Cheers

I've been all grain brewing for over 5 years, using R.O water as my tap water is very hard. I have been given a beer kit as a present, a hazy mango pale ale that I'll be brewing soon. My question is how to go about treating my RO water when using a kit that has already had some water additions...

Thanks guys. I've been looking into this a little more. The recipe states 1kg (20%) of acidulated malt and if you're using this amount of acid malt it's going to drop the wort ph too low so you need to do a secondary mash. That's what I've read anyway.

I've come across a Gose recipe I like the look of. However, the mash schedule is 60 mins for the pilsner and wheat malt etc, then you add the acidulated malt and mash for a further 60 mins. Can anyone explain the reason for that. Many thanks

West Coast IPA for me please!

Welcome, :thumb: I too had a break from home brewing, but not as long as 30 years. Having restarted a couple of years ago and moved on to AG last year, I've got the bug again and love the AG process. I'm also hoping to purchase a Grainfather later this year, I keep dropping hints to the...

Sounds like you're having fun, which apart from the actual drinking bit is the most important part. My last two kits were also a Wherry and a St Peters Ruby Red, which were both good, but not as good as my first few AG's. Can't really see me going back to kits, but I suppose you never know. I...

All looking very good. This one will be next on my list. What yeast did you guys use

Welcome. I too found the Hop Shop some years ago, after watching a TV documentary about home brewing and working from time to time in Plymouth had to find it. I was like a child in a sweet shop. Good luck with the re-brewing

Welcome. At least you've got a great homebrew shop near to you.

I live in Italy and will definitely be getting my Grainfather later in the year from this guy/shop. Even with the (very reasonable) postage charges from Belgium it still works out very cost effective for me. Buying from him from the UK, you are going to save yourself about £40 and if you work...

Also a Dutch website, not quite as easy to understand the lingo, but currently in stock and selling for €749, so same price as the shop in Belgium. http://www.brouwmarkt.nl/grainfather-semi-automatische-brouwketel-rvs.html They don't mention delivery to the Uk. Or..............order...
