I’m selling off a lot of kit on eBay, including a Grainfather and assorted other stuff, if anyone fancies anything then drop me a line. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grainfather-All-in-One-Brewing-System/163854427589?hash=item26267c25c5:g:urIAAOSwA71ddksC...

Hello all. I've had a brewing break for the last year and I'm looking at drastically reducing the amount of kit I've accumulated over the past few years. I've got a hundred or so regular bottles, and 30ish flip top ones in good nick. Three fermenting bins, a large and a half size pressure...

This may be known already, but I was sent this from a friend, and I have no connection to it, this post deals with Watneys Red Barrel, the whole blog has some great stuff on it. http://boakandbailey.com/2014/09/brewing-red-barrel-watneys-keg/

Taking advice from this thread I brewed this on the 11th of November: 1.5kg Maris Otter 500g Rauchmalt 125g Chocolate Malt 125 Crystal Mashed at 67 for an hour 20g Fuggles leaf at boil 10g Fuggles at 50 minutes OG 1058 Half a sachet of Wilkos gervin yeast. Really pleased...

Having tried the "Fiery Ginger Beer" forum on the thread a few times, I found it a bit thin and not quite what I was after, so as I had a free evening and some grains to use up I've just made this 10 litre experiment : 500g Maris Otter 300g Crystal 200g Chateau Biscuit Mashed at 67...

Not one for the wine-making purists, as a proper port needs a long time to ferment, but I made this sort of by accident, and whilst its not going to fool anyone into thinking they are drinking a vintage port, it tastes pretty decent. As a WOW experiment I fermented two litres of Waitrose Red...

After a windfall apple harvest, I've made about six gallons of wine, using juiced apples and white grape juice, following the usual WOW methods, but I'm expecting it to take a little longer to be ready than the supermarket juice wines I'm used to making. It's had about six weeks fermenting, I've...

I’ve got a coopers stout kit to use up, and I thought I'd split it after primary fermentation and try a few different additions, vanilla pods to some, possibly liquorice, that sort of thing. I’m also very keen to dry hop a batch, I’ve really enjoyed Beavertowns Holy Cow on...

I've got a big harvest of apples from my one apple tree, and I'm not a cider drinker, so I thought that making apple wine would be the best use for them. There are of course plenty of recipes out there, but as I have a good sized juicer I was wondering if, for simplicity, I could juice up a few...

Evening all. Would anyone be interested in posting successful recipes for brews using Coopers kits? I now do mostly ag stuff, but I like to do a mini mash with a coopers and try out hop additions and other stuff with them. They seem to be the best one can kits, and very easy to stock up on...

I'm currently in Ireland, drinking a bottle of Clotworthy Dobbin, very nice. Some posts on here from a few years back have a recipe for it which involves caramelising some of the first runnings. There are a few mentions of the process on the forums, but nothing recent. Is this a technique anyone...

Would there be any interest to North London members in having an informal meet up to discuss beer/drink it, that sort of thing? I know there is a club in South London, just wondered if there were enough people the other end to gang up? I'm in Harrow, which is Middlesex really, but I call it...

10 Litres 2.4 kg Maris Otter Malt 130 g Crystal malt. 100g wheat malt Mashed in 7 litres of water at 66.7 for an hour Batch sparged with 8 litres at 80 for ten minutes. OG 1066 FG 1012 9g Chinook at boil 9g Citra @ 30 mins 9g Chinook @ 15 mins 5g Citra @ 10 mins 5g Citra @...

I made up a 10 litre porter this evening, I'm going to split the batch and try and flavour half with cherries later in the process. Juicy Porter: 1840g Maris Otter 300g Crystal malt 50g Black malt 50g Chocolate Malt 10 g challenger at boil plus about 4g at 15 minutes as it was the end of the...

One for any Londoners. I've just popped in here after a few lovely pints at the Edgar Wallace near Temple Tube (cracking pub in every way) it's a new-ish micro brewery and pub with a huge range of stuff on offer. I'm on my second tasting platter, having tried a Saison, smoked porter, couple of...

I'm doing a mini mash with a Coopers Stout kit, I was going to use the yeast supplied with the kit, but one website recommends Safale S-04, which I have a spare packet of. Does anyone have an opinion on which yeast would be better?

Hi all I was hoping to get a ten litre stout brew on this evening, but I have slightly less Maris Otter to hand than I reckoned. After tweaking a few things through online calculators I have come up with this: 1.4 kg Maris Otter 200 g crystal malt 200g roasted barley 50 g chocolate malt...

I'm hoping to do a 10 litre batch later today, having tried three successful 5 litre brews thanks to Clibit's excellent guide (here) I'm going to mash with 10 litres in my well blanketed stovetop pot, and dunk sparge the grain bag with another six litres, which I'm hoping will net me 13-14...

I've got a Munton's Bock kit bubbling away and I'd like to add some dry hops. Does anyone have any recommendations for what hop variety would be suitable, and how much I should use for a 20l litre brew?

Hello all. I have a Muntons Bock kit to put on this evening. I also have, hanging about, some Maris otter malt, light and medium dme and about 80g of fuggles. Any of those worth adding do you reckon?
