Brewing a very simple Belgian Blonde today. It's the second time we're brewing this one, so excited to see how this one turns out. We've moved house since to another area, and the water appears to be of a better quality here. Should come out 6% abv-ish, and it's smelling absolutely lovely in...

We're starting our Bulldog adventure this weekend, and have gone with Muslin bags! :)

Ah, old topic. Never mind!

Again, great write-up! Also, or especially the hop-tip. SO said we didn't need a hop boil bag/spider, but thanks to you I could tell you we do indeed need one!

Thanks so much! *Saves post*

Yes, we had a look at the ACE as well, but the Bulldog seemed a bit more user-friendly. And as you said, it's about the brew, not about aesthetics, at this point. That'll come into play when I've reached my goal of opening up a brew pub and want some lovely looking set-up ;)

Hi all! Joined about a year and a half ago, when we did our first small brew kit, but I have since been both busy with finishing a PhD and longing for a set-up that would not involve loads of pans, sieves and stress to get everything working properly, and also would allow us to brew slightly...

This is great to follow! Excited to see how it's going to end up looking! Slightly jealous, but something to consider when buying our next home!

We're going to visit family in Feb, and really need to stock up on our beers. It's been quite a while since our last one, and there's only a few left at the moment *panic* :-(

Hertog Jan have some great brews indeed. I enjoy their standard pilsener, but their "Karakter" and "Grand Prestige" are gorgeous! My favorite Dutch brewery is "De Hemel" in Nijmegen (De Hemel means 'heaven'). It is a small-scale brewery that have some top-notch brews, including their very...

Thanks! Got a bubbly thing going on here now!

Thanks! And yes, almost all our pans were in use.. But we've already eyed some affordable stock pots on them eBayz to replace them. It was quite.. eeeehm... chaotic! :P The brew is nice and bubbly this morning (and the straw is getting pretty gross)... Was writing down my grocery list as I was...

Hi there! I am a beer lover, and luckily I married one too! Growing up and spending our student years in the Netherlands I had the pleasure of having access to the most wonderful Belgian Beers, but also some great Dutch brews, of course. After moving to the UK in 2011, we got to learn more...
