I have been a member of the forum since I started homebrewing and have found it a great resource and community. I am unfortunately have decided to sell all my homebrew equipment due to a few reasons, mainly health related. Will spilt the equipment up as it'll be easier to manage. 2 corny kegs...

It's with great shame I've decided to sell up my homebrew kit after 7 years. I've been finding it more difficult to find the time to brew and also been having quite painful Ibs fare ups. I've already sold, or in the process to selling a couple kegs in my local homebrew group. What I'm...

Over the last few months I've noticed more having some previous health issues raise their heads. Either due to me having more coffees than usual or drinking more beer/alcohol I don't know. I'm giving up the coffee first to see if that makes an improvement, so far it has and it's only been a...

Been thinking on what to do next, couldn't really decide or come up with an American red ale recipe that I felt happy with. So my wife suggested trying a fruli style beer. Attempting my first fruit beer: Will do 1/2 batch no sparge full volume using my brewmonk. Even though recipe says I'll be...

selling some of my old kit. A 10gal SS Brewtech kettle with a 3kw buffalo induction hob. Haven't used them since the back end of last year. 1 cosmetic scratch at the top of the kettle, kettle will need a good pbw clean before use but will come up nice. Also adding a 5l mini keg and a malt...

My wife gave birth to our first 4 weeks ago, in a similar way to a brew I've done a few times that use hops that start with the same letters as my dads initials, I am planning to do a beer that the hops start with the same letters as my sons name. So EVAN. I've had the Brooklyn Lager/Steam Beer...

Selling my old mash/grain basket that I use to use for my ace boiler / all in one system. 25cm diameter by 45 long (excluding handle) hoping for £10 for it. Collection only.

I've tried many times to brew an american amber, not recently since using Kveik yeast or treating my water. I use to brew one for either fathers day or my dads birthday. Which is going to feel weird as he unexpectedly passed a few days into this year. I was looking through my recipe books few...

Malt bill and hop types from Verdant's Even Sharks need water. using hop schedule from LHG's Cheeseburger Cavalry as a basis. Wanted to make a BIPA verison so added 8% Carafa III also used Kveik yeast as I wanted a quick turnaround and now prefer using it. I have about 1/2 a keg left of my...

After not brewing since July and as Silly(holiday) season approaching I'm inching to brew again. Just come back from San Francisco and after trying some delicious West Coast beers I thought to try my own, however I'm holding off on that idea until I have a few more of the style, just encase I...

Feels like its been awhile since I brewed last (probably only been a couple of months max) Thinking of doing something bit different for me, usually brew hazy IPA style beers but this time of year I actually quite like a more malty, have been known to drink and enjoy some pales/ambers, like...

After having 1 too many mid strength (5.5% beers) over the weekend I'm certainly thinking about making a more session/table beer. Current plan is around 3%. I've yet to listen to basic brewing's podcast on the subject of low beers but have read Mad Fermenterlists recipes and points on it. The...

A conversation came up within the Verdant Putty Thread regarding the recipe of their Light Bulb. I recently purchased the Hop & Barley #9 that it came from and can confirm it has been given from the brewery themselves. Thought to share. https://photos.app.goo.gl/VRDwqtDe7sQ5eWy58

Planning on doing a brew. After using some of the hops to good use for a recipe earlier in the year I wanted to use some of them again (Denali,Citra) and see how they blend with others. Also modified an existing malt bill I had with an old Red IPA, wanted to have the malty taste then the hops...

I've recently got some new brewing kit, stepping away from the basic biab style setup I had now with a separate mash tun and ss brewtech kettle. Being loving Verdant's take on IPAs recently since a trip to falmouth a few weeks back , like a NEIPA style hazy and fruity ipa. I wanted to do a...

Saturday did another brew on my ace boiler/mash tun. Its the very basic model, bought a two years ago. It however tripped my house twice, I think I know why as it did this once when I lived in a flat. Basically I think it happened when I turned the power up on it prior to turning it on...

Hi all, After a successful brew using Imperial Yeast's Juice strain I tried my hand at using the barbarian strain for a black ipa. I chilled it down 19c and pitched the yeast yesterday and this morning its raised to 24. All the time I had a desk fan with the fermenter in my cool brewing bag and...

I've been going back and forth in my mind to get a fridge large enough to hold 2 kegs and or my SS brewtech brewmaster bucket. I then was thinking just getting the FTSS for the fermenter then changing my mind again. I currently just use either a large open coolbox or coolbrewing jacket rotating...

Brewing a new recipe today - a Pale Ale that is inspired by a beer (thairanosaurus) from staggeringly good, a local brewery to me. It is not a clone! just really like the beer and wanted to do something that was inspired by it. Also wanted to try out some new hops and yeast. Using Denali hops...
