Reviving a 6 year old post but brewed it this morning and now in the fv. I haven’t done much brewing for a year or so but thought this sounded very nice.🍻

Yeah fire it over please. Fingers crossed for next weekend brew day

Unfortunately I only had enough for my keg.

Cheers, a bit corny but if it wasn’t for the folks on this forum I don’t think I would of taken the step away from doing kits. Now for the next brew, this one won’t last long

Absolutely blown away, just like a pint from the pub. Well chuffed

The mrs hates the smell of beer and brewing in general. Might be easier to throw her out

I left in for 30 mins the scooped as much out as possible. My next brew I’m going to cut up some of the wife’s tights and bag them up individual so it’s easy to remove. I kegged it this weekend smells and tastes nice just not very strong at 3.5%. Hopefully give it a taste next week

Thanks for the advice, I will see what tomorrow brings

Hi there, I’m all set for my first Biab session tomorrow, just a quick question on the last step. 14 gram at 0 minutes, does this mean to add at end of boil or is it like a dry hop once cooled and ready for primary fermentation? Thanks

I’ve been plucking up the courage to take the plunge lol, i have all my gear ready I just needed to find a recipe that didn’t look massively complicated and liked the sound of this one

This is going to be my first go at biab brewing. Ingredients ordered. I can’t wait

I have had 2 pressure barrels, one a cheap budget job and the more expensive rotakeg. Both have been a complete pain, chasing leaks, ok for a couple of brews then leaking again. Finally gave in and bought a cornie keg last month, why I wasted all that money on plastic kegs when for the money I...

Should be ok I would of thought. With the wilko kits I always use their separate package yeast I think it’s 12grams instead of 8.
