This is a simple easy to brew dry stout based on everyone's favourite Irish tipple. Smooth roastiness, creamy, dark chocolate, a hint of spice from the rye, dry finish. A very rounded crushable beer with attractive lacing This beer does not take long to condition. Because its not boiled there...

I bought some milk kefir grains last week. Really cheap, less than £4 delivered for 5g. Already making kefir at a fast rate and something which resembles cream cheese. No warming of the milk involved, all you do is leave it in a jar with the grains at room temp. Anyone else making this? How do...

I am sure i cant be the first but my keg sprung a hole right in the bottom last night and emptied 8l of pilsner all over the garage floor. Had to empty the fridge and clean it and just noticed i also lost all my gas. I am so glad i have a spare but i am really ****ed off. The 12l keg was £70...

Someone i know wants to earn some extra cash delivering leaflets in their spare time and wondered if any of you good people has any advice. I have just had a quick look online and there seems to be a few scammers. Are there any reputable national companies anyone can recommend or perhaps give...

A few weeks ago i decided to try and make some vinegar. Really simple process, i took 500ml of Flanders red and added the dregs of some organic apple cider vinegar. I now have a scoby in the bottle and it is starting to sour. Probably going to take a few months to finish and the intention is to...

I gave up bottling due to the change in flavour compared to kegging. After watching this video i know why. Seems obvious but i always shook mine.

How do you DIY enthusiasts recommend fixing this flaking plaster? Its only in one place. Cheers

I need to help someone make a book but i have no idea what software to use. At the moment i am using a pdf editor but there seems to be some problems. For instance it treats each page individually. If i want to insert more text or change font size it needs to automatically rescale the text for...

Does anyone make lacto starters? I want to sour during fermentation so interested in giving this a go. The aim is to pitch with some kveik around 40c.

Can anyone help me test my oven. I think its the element but not exactly sure what sort of reading i should get. Also noting some discolouration/burning to the insulation. The oven turns on but does not heat.

I have been reading about sours for a while and ordered some Roselare yeast the other day on the spur of the moment. I have a lot of empty dj's sitting around i am going to fill them all after fermenting in a bucket. I know there are plenty here that are into sours so all advice and suggestions...

Has anyone seen these before? The trub trapper. They look good and simple to use. I always waste a few liters each batch.

When are you hops available Gareth?

Has anyone got any experience of using flaked rice. I see it can be used for up to 40% of the grist. I intend to do a lager with it but have no idea how it will affect the mash or flavour. I got it uncrushed otherwise i think it would turn to dust. I also have some flaked maize which has been...
