Hello. I used to be quite into my all grain brewing, but children and life got in the way! However, I'm back into the brewing as of last weekend. I found an old fridge on Facebook, converted it into a brew fridge and started with a Sierra Nevada clone. I just wanted to clarify a couple of...

I drank them all a while ago, very quickly. Got to say I do love DPC and this was probably the best beer I have made to date (only made 5 AG so far!) and also friends who tried it were impressed :thumb:

I just bought this recently. Pretty sure it said dip it in hot (but not boiling water) at where the kinks are. :thumb:

Top tip, dont spill any of the pure starsan solution on kitchen work tops!!:doh:

Cool, can you PM me with address details, thanks

I would be interested in getting some feedback on my latest brew. It is only a week into its warm carbonation (in the bottle). Can we request that our entries can be stored and consumed at the latter end of the 2 weeks? i.e. If I sent the bottle after next week, could you leave it in a colder...

Was the recipe similar to my first AG? http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=60339 I thought it was really good and also got better as it aged (3-4 months).

Was bubbling away every couple of seconds until yesterday so did a reading. Came in at 1.010 which puts it at 5.9%. The sample was really good, iv got high hopes for this one. Will dry hop next week and try an bottle the following weekend.

How long were the bottles in the fridge for before you opened them? I did a dead pony clone and I had a couple of bottles gush on me. Both hadn't been in the fridge very long where as the ones which didn't gush usually had at least 24 hours in the fridge.

Just picked up 3 tonight, not really for the bottles, just wanted to give them a try! But I will keep the bottles for my homebrew :thumb: Absolutely loads left in stock. Hopefully they will be reduced in a week or so if they dont sell out.

Hopefully it wont overpower it at 0.5%. This is my first attempt at creating my own recipe and I was basing it on commercial beers I have read about. Likely that they just use it for colour rather than much flavour. Having trouble with temps at the minute. I think my aquarium heater may not...

As title, all my local home bargains selling a couple of brains brewery beers for 69p. Only seen Barry Island IPA which is quite nice (6%) and bragging rights (5%) so far.

I built a ghetto hop spider with coat hangers, mesh bag and some bull dog clips. Cost about �£3 :mrgreen::thumb:

I soaked mine in a strong solution of hot water and oxi washing powder. After a soak for about an hour, those which did not peel of where scrubbed with a metal scourer. Doesn't take much elbow grease
