I guess it depends on the type of band you wanna make. I'm into prog metal right now so I think I'll go for: Drums - John Theodore (The Mars Volta/QOTSA) Bass - Les Claypool (Primus) Vocals - Joe Duplantier (Gojira) (He can also pick up rhythm guitar if needed!) Guitar - Ben Weinman (Dillinger...

No worries. If this changes at all I'd be very interested. I live in NW Kent so I can't pop over to get it :(. Good luck, it looks like a good deal.

I'm busy with an apple harvest and cider making now, but I think that might come under brewing. When I'm not doing this for most the year, I do a podcast for fun: A History of Heavy Metal in 100 Songs. I'm really into cooking as well. I was a chef for a bit but gone back to it being a...

Is there any possibility of postage at all? If so do you know how much?

I don;t think I can make it after all, I have a ton of apples to pick and press still :-(. I hope everyone going has a good time and good luck to all those competing.

I forgot to brew my beer, but I'm judging and I think judges get a ticket to the event. I'll wear my THBF tshirt so I'll be recognised!

Anyone going to Brewcon? I'm down for judging and apparently judging gets you a free ticket to the event

Thanks, in future I'll have a look for this. Although next problem is seeing if I have scales which can measure this weight.

Do you mean it says somewhere on the canister what the empty weight is?

Ah on closer inspection it is empty :(

I went to transfer a new beer this morning and saw that my gauge was on 0. I thought there was a gas leak from somewhere and was quite upset, especially as I'm having a party tomorrow night. However, I don't think it's empty, I think the gauge is broken. It's a kegland regulator. I started the...

They're no longer accepting entries by the look of it :(. A kveik might work, but I think they mean registration is open until 24th Aug and beers need to be in 23rd September. They probably limited the spaces as well, hence not accepting more entries.

I'm quite interested, but I'm "between cars" at the moment so not sure if I could pick up. I'm not too far either, I'm in Orpington. I'll keep an eye on this. What speciality malts do you have? Are they crushed ir whole

I would agree with @Sadfield here. I went from 60 min infusion mash to 90 mins, 10 min mash out and fly sparge which takes an hour. The increased mash time improved my efficiency quite drastically but didn't break up the sugars any more (which would lead to a dryer beer). What would lead to this...

Update to this: I stirred with a sanitised spoon, gently scraping it on the bottom and getting huge chunks of yeast into suspension and it seems to have almost done fermenting. It's not the best beer in the world, not the worst, but probably last time I buy MJ yeast. It seems to cause problems...

Not sure how niche this is but Bryan "Brain" Mantia. A great drummer who was in Primus, Guns n Roses, Tom Waits and others. Although I think Tim Alexander was a better choice for Primus.

What would be good to know is is it ok to bottle? I'm making this for someone's wedding and am running out of time. However I have had it before where I've bottled beer I thought had finished but it wasn't, resulting it explosive openings. That wouldn't really be very good at a wedding.

It was 65°c, yes I'm sure I didn't drift higher.

By using 2 packs it ensures a high enough cell count, and I think they mean use 2 if pitching direct. I rehydrated the pack before pitching, which should keep cell count high, and even with a low cell count the beer should finish fermenting.
