Apologies if this is in the wrong place.. there used to be a kombucha thread but I can't find it now. So my question is can I make a 40 bottle batch of kombucha like I do for beers using all the same equipment? And, moreover, is a internet bought scooby man enough to do the job? Thanks in advance!

A review here for @Hazelwood Brewery 's summer ale. This was an excellent pint! Upon opening it seemed slightly over carbed and there was a little 'expansion' but nothing to worry about and nothing that detracted from the enjoyment. It poured with a small amount of sediment but was pretty...

Great news. Unbelievable... They've got one job...!

So I understand from one of the other recipients. I promise I sent them! I'm really disappointed and I just hope they are delayed and not lost for good. If they aren't received, I'll send you a bonus Hefewiezen each, sadly I have no more of the golden ale. I don't know how all three could...

Nice... And that hop- I KNEW IT! I should trust my nose more

First to try for me was @Tess Tickle ... A really good golden ale. Opens with a healthy fizz, gives a nice head and good lacing. Quite strong flavoured... No bad thing, I would love to know what hop that is (in fact if you could post the recipe that would be good!). I have a feeling it's the...

Superb! Thank you. Then what? 🤣 I've heard putting them in a paper bag to dry out is a good idea?

These are in my garden looking awesome, how do I know when to take them off the plant? Thanks knowledgeable collective 🤓

I've just sent mine out 1st class; post office gentleman informed me that Royal Mail workers are on strike tomorrow, and obviously it is a bank holiday on Monday (they won't go out until then). So I hope you get them soon! Also worth mentioning they are bottle conditioned, so chuck em in the...

I'm away from home but back tomorrow, I should be able to post then, apologies for lateness

I have three left to swap, and am to be congratulated on my self restraint. I honestly have been wording the 'actually I can't' message in my head but here we are. Who'd have thought it at this late stage of the game? 🤣

I never new a Dutch oven was an actual thing! Apart obviously from duvet torture

Not to upset anyone here, but this isn't a competition, it's a swap. The clue is the title of the thread; and in any case this beer won't be so far removed from style. It'll be great!

There is no problem! Always make beer you like 😎

My EKGoldy has been in the bottle for 9 days now, it's tasting fine! I think it'll end up a good beer, but I don't think it'll go bright as a button... I may have been a bit heavy handed with the dry hop so it will retain the haze I think.
