Just starting off a batch of hot sauce. Red chilli peppers, some dried ancho peppers, some ginger and garlic and a handful of blueberries from the Tesco yellow sticker section. Covered with a 3% brine solution. Will leave it until I remember to do something with it (probably around a month)...

Hi all, I assume I'm being particularly thick here, but does anybody use the MM premium regulator (https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/premium-co2-regulator/)? I've got one and being rather new to kegging I'm likely missing something, BUT does this reg not have a shut off valve incorporated...

Hi all, a lot/most of what I'm brewing is sour beer that spends a fair old while in glass carboys with airlock. At the moment I'm 100% bottle conditioning (but likely to go corny at some point). I'd like to be able to purge the headspace of my FV with CO2 when I check gravity readings to reduce...

Hi all, My Google-fu power is weak today, so hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. I was reading a Michael Tonsmeire (madfermentationist) article about using wine yeasts to brew beer (link: https://byo.com/article/brewing-with-wine-yeast/), in particular using Lalvin S6U as...

Hi all, I'm hoping to enter some competitions this year for the first time. Hopefully get some useful feedback on my brews. I suspect this has been asked before, but nothing came back on my search. Can you good folk flag up any couriers you've had success with in delivering bottles for...

boring/ tl;dr only just remembered I have this. Unused The Bible. A truly good book ace, but likely to result in me poisoning myself excellent good reference; not fun excellent very good grand jolly good Mi Keller' s Buck off typose more like....

Just for fun: https://yougov.co.uk/profileslite#/Homebrewing/demographics I'm male & NW based and 6mo shy of 40. That's about as close as I come...

Got a few work days in Ghent city centre coming soon. Any good beer spots that'll dole out lashings of Belgium's finest? I'll not be far from Dulle Griet, so that's on the list. Has anybody else been? Any tips? Thanks in advance! :)

Apparently not... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/oct/24/bbc-apologises-over-interview-climate-sceptic-lord-nigel-lawson Cue 5 pages of the usual suspects with the usual arguments ;)

Apologies if this sort of thing isn't kosher... I listen to the Athletico Mince podcast (Bob Mortimer). One of their sponsors is the Beer52 beer subscription folk. They have the offer code 'mince' which gets you 8 beers for ~£6 p&p. I've just put my order in, but yet to receive it so...

Does anybody have much experience with harvesting wild yeast from the great outdoors? On my lunchtime stroll route are plenty of fruit plants, including blackberries & elder. I thought I'd nab some to see what's hanging around. Added fruits to 300 ml of ~1.030 wort with a couple of hop pellets...

Well it seems that every blighter needs their own brewday thread, so here's mine :) Having a bash at a scaled down for 10l BIAB version of Greg Hughes' 60 minute IPA. 3kg pale malt and approx 3.5g each of amarillo, chinook & cascade @60, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 & 0min. 10l water added to grains...

Includes postage! Nice Xmas treat :) http://thornbridgebrewery.com/product.php?s=Eldonstout Edit: mods, I'm assuming that this sort of post is OK. Sorry if not!

Interesting chat with CAMRA's Roger Protz. Chats about the early days of rubbish factory beer & a bit about the crafty future (including the brewdog/camra spat) Might be of interest to some of you lot ;) Why not have a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07nng5l

What are members listening to :) Some from my Suscription List: Beery Basic Brewing - genial presenters. Informative Experimental Brewing - as previous. Some slightly out there ideas. Actual experimental testing of ideas & homebrew methods Other Athletico Mince - Bob Mortimer & Andy...

I'm toying with an upgrade from my 15 litre stockpot and stumbled on this instructable. It whet the overlap of my lofi/lo cost/nerdy Venn diagram nicely Thought some of you on here might be interested too. If anybody has done any similar sort of build I'd be keen to hear about it too. Link...

Hi all, Just a quick one to say hello & introduce myself. I'm based in the sunny NW and am a complete(ish) novice to homebrewing. Currently got my first brew bottle conditioning. It's a bay & rosemary ale from Andy Hamilton's book. I've used extract in this case. I think I'll...
