3 Gallons of Sweet Porter. 5 Gallons of Tea IPA. 2326.8

Glad to be of help mate! Hope you enjoy yer next brew and all the best over the holidays mate!

Brewed this one last Thursday (27/11) with the help (and insistence of ingredient input from my missus!). Slightly getting better at my BIAB method. 35 litres boil volume 3kg Vienna Malt 0.5kg Amber Malt 0.5kg Marris Otter Mash temp 67c - 60 minutes Boil time - 60 minutes 25g Northdown - 40...

Alright fellas, got about 25 500ml put to one side, probably have more for next weekend (provided I can stop them from being binned and we sell enough cider!). They're ready for collection if someone wishes to drop me a PM for the details on when and where you can get them. Also we've got tons...

All the bottles are crown cap friendly! (The 500ml are mostly old rekorderlig cider bottles). I'll start storing them away now and let you guys know how many I've got by Monday.

Figured I mays well mention it here, but my bar goes through a lot of brown 330/500ml bottles weekly, if anyone needs any putting to one side, let me know and I can arrange for them to be picked up from the bar. You'll just have to do the cleaning yourself!

Bottled the two batches last week. Didn't use a secondary nor did I batch prime. Just spooned sugar into each bottle. S-04 surprisingly came up at 5.25% ABV whilst the T-38 only registered at 5%. I prematurely opened a bottle of the S-04 today, for my first brew I'm fairly proud, it's got a...

I think that'd be the end of me if I started shaving sheep in my flat! Sure. Although this is my first ever beer brewed so it could turn out terrible! I'll keep you updated in a few weeks. Thanks for the advice mate! I did put the bag in my FV to drip for about half an hour, giving it a good...

Finally got round to my first ever brew day on Thursday. I've been so busy lately with work and trips that I'd not managed to get on the forums here at all, but now I've started my first brew I thought I'd let you lot know! As I stated on my welcome thread, I've dove right into BIAB methods...

Fermenting with yes, pressurising with co2/priming sugar, I doubt it.

Beautifully written and easily understandable guide for BIAB users! I'm planning my first ever all grain BIAB brew in a week or so, so I'll be using this guide to reference. Will let you know how I get on, thanks!

Sloe to me, has a very tart taste with slightly fragant notes afterwards. Prunes however, I dunno. Never tried them! (For a reason!)

No worries mate! I've done a little more research and someone suggests not going over 500g for a 5 gallon batch and anything over 1kg could ruin the beer. Honestly, I don't know, with things like this, theres no wrong or right, just preference! (And a sweet-toothed missus' to please!)

Yeah unfortunately theres still a lot of macro brewed swill on tap in most places. But if you're ever in Liverpool again, let me know and I'll direct you to some lovely watering holes!

Cheers mate! I managed to find a 10 gallon stockpot (after much internet scouring, thanks French ebay!) for about 50 quid, so I'm planning on 5 gallon batches. Mostly used Wilko's for equipment etc. I'm from Huyton originally, but I've lived and worked in the Toxteth/Baltic Triangle area now...

Toxteth IPA by Mad Hat Brewery. 6.5% 7 hops IPA. Good stuff!

The online stores doing a 20% off sale today by the looks of it. Might pop into town later and check out the instore discounts.

Quick scan around the internet says to use between 500g-1kg from a 5 Gallon batch. Honestly, I guess it's just down to have sweet you want your beer to taste?

Your local traditional boozer will generally have DOZENs in their cellar no doubt.

This. You can get some good plastic/cheap fermenting bins/buckets which are on offer right now. http://www.wilko.com/homebrew-accessories+equipment/wilko-wide-neck-fermenter-25l/invt/0075885 http://www.wilko.com/homebrew-accessories+equipment/wilko-fermenting-bin-and-lid-25lt/invt/0022555
