As you say it shouldn't be a problem but unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world so come on election time I will be voting for the person that I trust to have their heart in the local community and I don't have that feeling from the candidates of the major parties

Big things are started a food bank, holds mental health clinics, constantly providing food parcels/electrical items/furniture to families in need. Also does a lot of small things such as was out gritting the town centre when the council had refused to do it, campaigning on local issues such as...

We have a fantastic local candidate that I will be voting for, he has done far more for the local area than any of the main parties despite not being in office. Unfortunately I can't see him getting in as I live in an area that had been labour since the seat was created and I think people will...

20L Vanilla IPA New total: 2,250L

I would add them 5 days before you are planning to bottle

Well I thought I asked my wife to grab 2 packets of rosemary while she was out, she has come back with 2 basil plants and insists that's what I asked for so it might end up just being a vanilla IPA anyway 😂

Thanks @samale, I might cut it back to 2 packets then (40g)

That is what I have done, Brewfather has given 2.2 IBU, I don't have the book to hand at the minute but the IBUs for the flameout hops was more than I was getting in Brewfather

Cheers @Tanglefoot I have already added the recipe to Brewfather adjusted the malts to my system/batch size. I am still over on the ABV (mine is 5.6% instead of 4.9%) so I may adjust the malts down some more before brew day. My IBU is also lower but I do find that Brewfather gives hardly any...

Cheers for the info, out of intrest what is the fermentation temp on your copy as that is clearly wrong on the one that I have Only one way of finding out I supppose 😐 I just fancied doing something diferent so I will make it and post the results in here 👍

I am hoping to brew the Rosemary and Vanilla IPA but have a few issues with the recipe in the book, instead of clogging up this thread I have started a new thread here. If anyone is not aware there is also an old thread on this forum which lists various misprints/mistakes that are made in the...

Hi all. I fancy giving this a go and have ordered the malt and hops that I require but when looking more closely at the recipe (Greg Hughes Home Brew Beer pg 132) there are things that don't make sense so I thought I would post them here along with what I am planning to see if anyone has any...

I just throw mine in, never heard of dissolving it first, I always assumed it just dissolved almost instantly in the hot liqueur... But there again I also use a full tablet although do keep meaning to pick up a pill cutter to make it easier to try half next time so maybe I will also dissolve it...
