Hi all, I know a lot of members seem to use yeast from previous or commercial beers in their brewing but Im a bit confused how you go about it. Can someone really Janet and John it for me? Do you need a stirring plate? How long does it last? whats the process of keeping and storing? If you...

Just wondering if there are any other Freemasons on here (cue the ‘it’s a secret’) comments. Strange old time at the moment with no Lodge or Chapter meetings so thought it might be a good idea to discover other members and perhaps come up with a themed beer!

Hi all, I’m looking at getting a robobrew or grainfather But do enjoy drinking Belgian ales (etc). I understand that all in one systems are quite limiting for this kind of brew. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on whether it’s (easily) possible to use either of those two systems for...

Hi all, Just looking for a bit of inspiration on when and what you brew at different times of the year. Do you have any set routines and what do you line up and how far in advance? We tend to mix up our year with sloe gin when the sloes are right and blackberry whisky (plus whatever else we...

Hi all, I have recently attempted my first AG brew and produced a DJ full which is currently fermenting (although it may be stuck...!). I'm looking to try a few more over the next couple of months and would like to order some grain, how do you go about ordering if it is only for small batches...

Hi all, So it's been a couple of years since I've brewed (and only then some extract kits which came out so-so). About the time I was brewing bits and pieces I saw the Have a go AG recipe and bought the gubbins. Long story-short I finally got around to doing it today, having noted that the...

Hi all, I have left a bitter and a white wine in their respective FVs for far too long (not had time to bottle at weekends) and they've now been in there coming up to 2 months... My question is: should it just be chucked away or is any of it worth saving?

I'm looking for an economical heating option for my brews. I've looked at belts and immersion heaters but not sure which way I should go. I'm sure there have been threads on this but can't seem to find them... My it skills aren't up to much!!!

Morning all, Had a productive day yesterday: currently got a Wilkinsons 'real ale' 2 can kit brewing and also a Wilkos chardonnay (:sick: ) kit. I think the last (and first) time I brewed was probably in January so I was a little rusty... All seemed to go well; remember to sterilise...

Afternoon all, I'm asherweef - a brewing newbie based in the Northwest UK. I received a brewing starter kit with a St Peter's golden ale kit at Christmas which I eagerly made; girlfriend then suggested we try wine so we have some elderflower wine ageing. Beer is nice though not great and the...
