My old laptop died taking all my recipes with it. I Think it was something like 12 heads, zest of 5 lemons and juice of two, 1.5 lb of sugar in 5l of water (which when made in 15l batches strained and filled a 3gal carbouy, and then 3x demi johns after the primary). But I definitely boiled it...

A bit of a follow up on this thread; https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/the-postmans-been.76583/ It's the same basic brewer as a few companies have released with their own branding now, apparently, this version now has a memory function which makes programming easier, I didn't test this...

After eBay's 20% off offer last week I finally bit the bullet and bought an all-in-one BrewDevil microbrewery from Angel homebrew. I always wanted a Grainfather as they were on Kickstarter not long after I got back into homebrewing but the cost was prohibitive for a hobby that I was trying to...

Based in Three Mile Cross near Reading and it's a bit big to post, so wondering if there's any interest in this kit. Happy to do a demo on it when you collect if you're new to AG. I'd rather sell the whole kit together for £150 but if there's no interest then I'll split it. Based on a couple of...

Anyone know anywhere in the UK selling these that has them in stock? http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=803

I've been given a couple of 2 gallon barrels as a birthday present, but don't really have much of a clue what to do with them. From what I've googled it would seem untoasted barrels impart a lot more oak to their contents than toasted barrels so sour beer is out of the question. I've got a...

I know they lose their potency with time, and there's plenty of formulas and online calculators that will do the maths. But are any of them any good? I'm asking because I had some 2014 Fuggles and E.K.Goldings, which according to one online calculator should have had 0.1% AA. I know it'll be...

As title, about 100 brown, 40 clear and a few green. 2min off the motorway junction if you're passing. Free for collection. Going to be kegging so therefore they're superfluous.

I've a load of American hops from an IIPA and wonder what to do with them. I was thinking of doing a big (~30l pre boil) mash of golden promise malt, then splitting it into 5 boils, one each of centennial, cascade, amarillo, simcoe and summit. But, how do you deal with weighing out bittering...

Having been made redundant I've now got a lot of time on my hands but no money, so here's an attempt to build the cheapest keezer possible. 1) proline chest freezer off eBay, stinks of rotten milk so it's got a bag of charcoal in the bottom hopefully abosrbing it. Bleach did nothing. 2)...

Reassure me (or save me a few hangovers and tell me to pour it away). I brewed a IIPA a couple of weeks back, and I usually add 1tsp of young's yeast nutrient in at flame-out. The packet says 1tsp per gallon, but I only use 1 as I figure some is better than none, and none works just fine for...

Haven't tried it yet, but know someone who has and I'm off after work to find out. ASDA 4x for £5 on beers. Charlie Wells are doing £5 cashback if you buy 3x of their IPA's. http://groceries.asda.com/product/bottled-ale/charlie-wells-triple-hopped-ipa/910002393885...

Did this as I brew a fair amount of ale but the OH only drinks IPA's, so wanted some variety to keep her amused and give me time between IPA's to brew some darker beers. Day 1: 4x 1l apple juice Pectolase (can be omitted if you don't mind haze) Yeast nutrient Cider yeast Demi john airlock...

With only one hop addition at first wort this recipe is brilliant for doing at the same time as cooking dinner on a school night. I finished work at 5, and was washed up and tidied by 9:30. Made about 25l, I lost a lot to the floor due to a failed o-ring! 3kg malted wheat 2kg malted...

So I tried the 'new' yeast harvesting method with a wheat beer last week with a view to making a Berliner Weiss with 5l of wort I kept behind in a Demi-John. The plan is to sour it first, boil it again, then ferment it. So the plan was simply to start with the '1-2cm' of yeast collected by the...

Just a quick shout out for Wild Weather Ales in Silchester. SWMBO bought us a tour off groupon, and I have to say the beer's are excellent, especially so if you like them big and hoppy and although the lighter session ales are really excellent too, there's even the chance to taste the same...

A few reviews of this say: "tastes of nothing but Banana" - Cletus, Florida Swamps "Tastes of nothing but cloves" - Scott, Antarctic Anyone brewed with it, or other wheat beer yeasts? Recipe plan for anyone interested: Mash for 20l of 60/40 wheat/barley malt with an OG of about 1038. Bring...

I'll not say which one as I got 90% of the recipie from the brewer but didn't ask for permission to publish it. And I'll just say the original recipie used a lot of hop extract at 90min rather than the bucketload of cascade. I'm new to AG brewing so I'll put down my thought process for anyone...

If anyone want's to check beersmiths maths: 4.0 kg pale malt 30g black malt Mashed at 66C for 1 hour. Gave me 24l of 1.052 wort, which beersmith gives an efficiency of 103%? (gravity was taken at 20C, volume at 100C, I think beersmith assumes 4% shrinkage). This is my 2nd attempt at...

I've accumulated more empty bottles than I have crates to store them in. Anyone want ~40 empty glass ~500ml bottles? Rinsed and sanitized, but stored in a shed so will need cleaning again. Collect from Three Mile Cross, Berkshire. Bring your own crates! All major homebrewing...
