I like shiny things as much as the next guy, but this brew system seems souless and expensive (see link below). Or have i missed the point? what do you chaps think? http://www.livingbeer.com/product-Detai ... b122d4332c

After many kits and a few tweaks had a 'dip my toe in' AG brew this evening. its a basic, pale and crystal malt, fuggles, 5L event. there are no photos, as next to the guys on the forum its a poor show, ( volume and equipment used ) :( :nono: lets see what happens over the next 2 months...

Chuntering to a guy at work (he has recently been reinstated after our 3 day week and redundancy period ), I mentioned that I dabble in a drop of HB, told him about you guys on here.He confessed he had been looking to try HB but didnt know where to start. that was 2 weeks ago. Had an email...

As im not concerned with the alcohol strength of my beer, only the taste and looks, i have stopped checking og and final sg, and only check the sg when i think its time to bottle ( 7 or 10 days, bit longer for cold weather). I go by smell, taste and look, of the taster glass. Other than adding...

On sunday we held a party at our house for my son. We had a home made cake in the shape of a frog my daughter chose the pattern!. This looked like the pattern photo and tasted great. But the big thing for me was i had made all the booze, bitter ( Bottled and pressure kegged ), lager,Turbo Cider...

Just done a quick dip on mi wine, its at 1010 og at 1100+ i fudged up a bit on the sugar adjustment, lesson learned. On the taste its 97ron with a summer fruit flavour that grows( still warm at present, cooling sample for retaste), its early but you have to see your in the right direction, ahem...

This is very true, especially on laminate floor. :o Bottled my second batch of TC this morning, (i have been tinkering with my syphon tubing)at the end of the DJ(light plastic water bottle type) the weight of tube and contents toppled over said DJ. :shock: what a schoolboy error. all cleaned...

Having just bottled my Cyder and bitter, all i can think about is "whats next in the fermenter?", As I am new to this brewing caper, i dont want to run before i can walk. I am also boring the Jeebus out of the chaps at work too. ps I also get a buzz out of making/finding use for stuff in the...
