I know of a few trees around my way that never get used. I tried cider making a few years back but I picked up some wild infection and it tasted like vinegar. I did a little test a few months back now that I've got more than a few AG beer brews under my belt. I've got a simple home made...

So I made some plum wine. Had an early glass just and noticed a dark 'oily' layer on the top. Don't taste off. Is this just fuseal alchohol? It's about 14% Just an odd layer of darker stuff floating on the top. Anyone???

My dear wife bought me this book for our anniversary. Amongst other things that I won't go into.... apart from an adventure day on an inflatable water park thingy in a lake. Which was awesome. Any how. I've got the elements brewing books and a few others that people have gifted me. But this...

I'm going to copy brewdog recipie #14 trashy blonde. Well the malt bill anyways. It's the first brewdog I ever had and they don't brew it anymore. I don't have the hops needed but wondered if someone could point me in the right direction? I've only got these hops on hand. Bramling cross Dr...

When I first found a bottle of this in my late grandfather's shed I was dubious. He brewed some weird concoctions, but as a young boy I always enjoyed the collecting of the ingredients and helping him brew. A lot of his stuff was given to me when he passed away. If left to age this stuff is...

Hi all. I'm between jobs at the moment and decided to use my time more wisely than just eating and cleaning. So. Off to the local brew shop. Got two Solomon Grundy kits out of date but not by much for 10 quid, one red one white. And a bag of glucose for 1.50 I think. These little six...
