I've done two of these single hop series from geterbrewed, both equally as dark. Overshot the target OG on both. Both ended up around 6%. Both turned out very well. Would definitely try more.

Ok, so I have everything to build a kegerator apart from the taps. Ideally looking for a 2 or 3 tap tower. Can anyone recommend a decent one? Should I go for flow control or no flow control? At the minute I'm having to take the keg out of the fridge to attach a tap directly onto the out post...

I've ordered a couple of the single hop series from Geterbrewed. Simple and cheap incase I mess up. Haha.

Thanks for all the replies folks! Yeah I was looking to do a SMaSH for my first couple of brews just to familiarise myself with the process. I started out doing kits almost a year ago to the day. Then I moved on to BIAB just before Xmas, always hoping in the back of my mind that I'd have an...

I took ownership of a Grainfather yesterday. I'm looking for ideas of what I could brew first. Looking for something fairly simple so I can get used to the processes etc. Also, where is the best place to purchase already made up ingredient packs? Thanks.

I'm doing it this year as I always over indulge over Christmas Did it 4 years ago and raised over £200 For cancer research UK Did it 2 years ago which also lead on to me sorting my diet out and went on to lose 5 stone. Currently still around 5 stone down, wanting to lose at least another stone.

I added 5g per 500ml bottle. I'll leave it another week then. Was hoping to have one Xmas eve but looks like I'll have to wait til new years eve. Oh well plenty of wine in, haha!

So, I've followed all the steps. Before bottling I put the whole demijohn into the fridge to clear it. Came to bottling and decided to put a small amount of sugar directly into the bottles, but I don't seem to be getting any carbonation. I have bottled into PET bottles and they just don't seem...

Thanks GlentoranMark ill give that a go to get the munich malt used up

Thanks for the replies. I've had a look at brewers friend but need to spend more time on it and get familiar with it. Just read somewhere that people like to make a SMaSH with Munich malt and centennial hops so might give that a whirl. I have absolutely no idea which hops bring which flavours...

Last week I had a go at the simple BIAB recipe posted by clibit in his 'have a go at simple AG' thread. I used what equipment I had at the time and enjoyed it so much I immediately purchased more equipment so I can make bigger batches. Could anyone share a simple BIAB recipe or point me in...

I have been reading this thread in depth. I have just purchased the maris otter and some admiral hops and some yeast this morning. It's happening tomorrow.

My friend gave me a kit the other day, went out of date in 2002

G'day fellow brewers! So as the title suggests I'm thinking of making the leap from brewing kits to all grain. So my question is...realistically how much money do I need to spend to get me into all grain brewing. I have so many questions, please bare with me haha. Can you make 40 pint...
