sounds fantastic. Your all so good for advice for a newbey. Many thanks

Many thanks

Hi Just made my first Porter. So pleased how it has turned out. Will be adding some plum favouring before I bottle it. It has come out at a lovely 6.69%. Will definitely be doing another brew in January

I like all my dark ales especially porters and stouts. I will have a look for that book aswell. Many thanks again.

It's called the homebrew handbook. Not quite sure what different things you mean. Sorry I know I sound useless

Hi am waiting for a brewing book to be delivered this week aswell.

yeah it was 100g split. Looking at trying marris otter for base, chocolate malt and carahell caramel malt. I have gone for 5k of marris and 500g of each choc and caramel. What do you think. Don't know what OG or FG to expect as still don't really understand these.

That's great you have helped alot. Going to make you laugh now. I put a handful in at start of rolling book and about 10 minutes before the end. I used fuggle hops. I have just ordered some more grains, so will try again. Many thanks

H Hi thanks again. so does that mean I needed more grain in there for the 15 litres ?. I added the wort to some water I had started Heating up ready in stainless steel pot. Yes tried my best to rinse the grains in my mash tun. Can't taste any alcohol. Have just bottled some tonight and see what...

It was Munich malt and believe it was 6lb. It's been conditioning for 5 days. The rest 140g of each and yes it was crushed. I mashed it in 14 litres. This is where I think I might of gone wrong because I topped it up to 24 litres. Hop you can help. Many thanks again.

hi FG was 1008 but had no bubbles in airlock but was bubbling inside fermentation bucket. Had fast acting yeast which only took two days. It just tastes very weak. I'm also wandering if I put to much water in it. This was my first attempt and I can not think what I find wring . Many thanks

Final FG forgot to take a start reading

Hoping you can advise me. I am a new member today. I have just made my first batch of homebrew from scratch using Munich malt as a base, added some crystal malt, roasted Barley, pale choc malt and some Fuggle hops. I mashed this at 64-67degrees and transferred into stainless steel pot to boil...
