Haven't brewed in a while but want to get something on for Christmas and looked at what I have leftover in the garage. Basically I want to make some sort of dark beer with what Ive got and I'm wondering if it's going to be a catastrophe or tasty. So I've currently got: 800g Vienna 500g Munich...

I got this kit with my starter kit and haven't brewed it yet as I had stove top AG in mind so have done 5 or so of those first but I plan on making this next to really bolster my stocks. It's a bit like an extract kit but instead of DME it comes with liquid malt and some grains to steep. It...

My 15 year old MacBook isn't really cutting it at the moment. The school my 5 year old goes to is insisting we upload work to teams and even though I'm doing it all through the "hwb" platform it's continually crashing my laptop. New one required. Specs for normal usages but a decent sized...

Put together an order based around two different recipes I wanted to make but I've just made the recipes up myself and wanted a bit of a sense check really. Both will be full volume no sparge BIAB to 11L in the FV. #1 Oatmeal Stout 1.75kg Maris Otter 250g Medium Crystal 200g Chocolate Malt...

I bottled my Dark Ale (accidental grain order cock up) on Sunday and since then I have kept the bottles in the house to condition. But upon reading the Bible by Greg Hughes it says to store most of the recipes at 12C for Conditioning. Am I ruining this beer by having it in the house? My plan...

Set off my first AG on Saturday and it was happily blipping away in the kitchen. But I then moved it to the garage on Sunday and attached my home made heating belt too it. It's a length of heat tracing cable and an STC1000 to control the temp to 20C. All wrapped in a foil camping Matt to keep...

Made my first ever order from Get Er Brewed last week. Was impressed with the build your own all grain kit so decided to use that to order some grains and hops to make up two different half batches in the Greg Hughes Book. The Brown Porter and the Yorkshire Bitter. Being my first time I just...

Just came across a starter kit for cheap. It's a Northern Brewer kit which comes from the US I believe. Comes with a kit as well but the kits are past sell by date. Home Brew Essential Starter Kit | eBay

I've recently come across a grape vine on my Allotment site that's on common land and has basically taken over a Tree and filled it with Red Grapes. Ever since I've been toying with the idea of trying to make some wine out of the grapes. I have no idea what type they are apart from them being a...

After Kegging and bottling my first brew i decided to throw another batch into the fermenter while i had the kit out. After a few mishaps and flooding my kitchen ive put together a Wilko Stout Variant. 1Kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 250g Dark Brown Sugar 400g Dark Treacle (I only wanted 200g...

I've just acquired a pressure barrel to store my first brew and it has come with two C02 bulbs and and Inectar. Once I've filled the keg with the brew and primed with sugar do I then put a bulb of C02 into the keg? I've read a few threads that say it's difficult to pour the beer and it...

Finally took the plunge and bought my first Home Brew kit from the guys at Home-brew-online. Excellent delivery as it was delivered within 24 hours. Started my brew on 9th October as i think this will give plenty of time to get it drinkable for christmas, if i can wait that is. Mixed...
