Hello, I was interested to know if anyone has used WHC Apres Ski at higher temps and what the conditioning/lagering time was? Is it comparable to Novalager or 34/70?

Double Dancing Duck IPA looks good to me - thanks

Ideally, yes I’d say so. But I’ve found costings inc postage can get big quick. Was intrigued after seeing cheaper cans is all

Has anyone tried princes fruit filling for adding to beer? I have looked at the ingredients and see no preservatives which may kill yeast or anything. This gave me an idea for a black forest stout. Way cheaper than purée (maybe for good reason)

Sorry to piggy back the thread, I’m looking to do a Sussex Best clone for a wedding anniversary’s (they are from Sussex) does anyone know if they contain the house yeast? Maybe the mini keg will? I can’t seem to find out

I recently had to dump a tcp batch after cleaning my kettle with barkeepers friend. Not sure if it wasn’t rinsed properly or I got an infection. Either way, I soaked everything overnight in PBW and a good sanitisation with Milton. My last brew has been fine. Could be worth a go?

that’s all I did to adjust the recipe to my system etc. even if it’s not a full clone if it’s a decent beer I’ll be happy

funnily enough I’m using this recipe from Graham Wheelers clone book next weekend, I’ve gone with lallemand esb yeast and will ferment highish

I recently was put on to this 5-10-15 theory, not sure if it the right way to go, but I’ll try it. based on 10 imperial gallons this would be 225g, 450g, 675g approx

I’m in, looking to try this anyway

Thanks all, straight out the freezer it is

So I have 50g of frozen hops left from an old brew to use in a new batch tomorrow. The question is should I defrost first or do you get better results thrown in the boil from frozen?

Thought I’d take a look, Sainburys has them for £4 a bottle, a bottle makes 7-9 litres so if you use two and make 18 litres so it’s about par.

Bit niche perhaps, I have a friend with a well and am hoping to an “as local as possible” if the water is safe! I’m planning on tapping up the local maltings, and maybe my buddies water, but I’m struggling to find any Essex grown hops. I dont suppose anyone has any suggestions? I would love to...

Last stout I added the dark grains for the last 10 mins of the mash, whilst the stout is nice and light I felt it lacked a bit of the roastness, I think I’ll do 20 mins next time
