Ditchs Stout. 2 x MYO Stout kits, 2kg Dark Spraymalt, 2 cup of normal sugar, ferment at 22C

I have made The Coppers Irish stout a number of times using this method with good results. I am ready to keg 40 litres of the range MYO Stout I have brewed with the same method. Looking forward to trying it.

Paul Whitehouse on the BBC did a two part series looking into the state of our rivers, its a very interesting watch. Our Troubled Rivers Perhaps this deserves its own thread?

I would thoroughly recommend I.O.Shen knives, not the cheapest but razor sharp and feel nice in the hand. A set like these would set you up well. If you search around you can find good deals. I.O.Shen

The Magic Rocks American IPA looks like something I would enjoy.

I recently got a refill here as recommended on the Nottingham Brewers group. Very cost effective. Co2 Facebook Marketplace

I've recently come across a new product from Darkfarm called the Brew Tank but haven't seen much talk about it. Brew Tank Shop - Dark Farm Looks a really nice solution. Does anybody have one? General Opinions? Thanks

Do the Range still have homebrew kits in-store, not going to waste a journey if not, but all the ones I've tried previously were good.

I think I got the original Fermentasaurus from BrewUK but I think they are now end of life with a new model due out soon. I have recently bouhht a 60l fermzilla all rounder for bigger batches. Initial impressions are good so far.

Been using my ispindel for a few months now and it has been an invaluable tool. However the battery is no longer holding charge and I need a replacement. Does anybody know where best to source. I presume it's just a quick desolder of the connectors and solder on a new one.

I have a 3kg bottle and it lasted me just over a year probably 2 cornie a month and pressure transfer from fermentasaurus. Going to get it refilled asap

I got mine from BreKegTap. I've had to use it this week as my big gas bottle has run out and it works very well.

£15 in Wilko's, I already brew it to 20l , just looking at introducing some variety.

As Woodfordes Wherry is a particularly widely available kit and pretty reliable, I am looking at what people do to liven it up a bit. Different Yeasts, Dry Hop? With it being on offer for £15 at the moment it would be rude not to do a bit of experimentation.
