'Our birthday home brewing competition is returning for a third year, once again in collaboration with the wonderful team at The Malt Miller. That’s right, home brewers, you could win a chance to come and brew with us and much, much more!'...

Interesting watch! Okay, it's not really homebrew. It's small scale commercial pilot brewing. I mean, who has a £6,000-10,000 bit of homebrew kit if you're not selling it. But compared to what they're brewing on, its tiny. I do want his Mash Paddle though! Has anyone been to Treehouse...

Happy International Women's Day to my badass fellow women homebrewers! So glad to see more and more of us! I wish I could have taken part in one of these collaborative brew days that are happening today, but nothing near me and well... work! 💪

Like many, I have been getting boxes and boxes delivered through the door lately. Got one yesterday though that Evri totally cocked up. They reprinted a label from the last time I bought brewing ingredients and so it looked like I was being delivered brewing ingredients. I was totally confused...

Err...so... if you tried to brew an American amber ale, but somehow managed to not put in any of the crystal malts :tinhat: -but your water chemistry and hopping was all geared to an amber ale , to bring out maltiness and bitterness that will not be there now; what would you do? It's fermenting...

National Homebrew Competition - Looks like it's opening up for entries on the 19th November - https://www.nationalhomebrewcompetition.org.uk/

Jeez. You'd think I would know better by now. But, at least I know how to troubleshoot - And maybe a good lesson for new brewers! Brewed myself a session beer on Saturday. Totally didn't make a starter because I got lucky and managed to fit a brew day in when I didn't think I could. However...

Wow. I'm not someone who brews my own beer to save money,(ha, shiny things cost money), and I have actually tried 'Proper Starter' before (but now I like to overbuild my starters, so that's very expensive.) But this. This. Just seems to be expensive and overkill!? Okay, I guess it's like using...

FYI, Women Brewers Really tempted! $40 pretty cheap enough. Women's International Beer Summit 2021

So decided to order nothing new until I had used up all the last bits and bobs. I live in the Highlands, so order loads and loads at a time to make the most out of the exorbitant shipping costs, and I am awful for reordering before using up stuff, as I change my mind on what I fancy. So I had...

If you had £600 or so saved up, what fermenter system would you go for? Something shiny? A few different pressure fermenters? I currently ferment in a plastic bucket submerged a bucket with an aquarium heater method of temperature control. Love the idea of something like the Grainfather...

Next weekend the 'Beers without Beards' club is hosting a Women in Beer Festival across several breweries and pubs. There are also all kinds of talks from 'Meet the Brewer' to 'Identifying Off Flavours' and one on home brewing. I am part of the panel of the home brewing talk. I'm nowhere near...

After ages off, (10 months?) , been so busy!, I finally decided to brew again. I've been lurking on this forum when I can (not during lunch anymore, since 'alcohol' websites are banned at work, which also makes it hard for me to buy ingredients at lunch break ,but never mind) and catching up...

Well. I asked Santa for corny kegs, but sadly I was naughty this past year, as they didn't get delivered under my tree. I have been bottling and using pressure barrels since I started brewing. I definitely love syphoning beer straight into the PB and not bottling, but I am sick and fed up with...

Hubby and I are spending our Hogmanay Brewing. Hey, nothing better. (Making Orfy's Hobglobin II clone). Hope everyone has a great New Year. 2018, it's gonna be a great one!

There are probably reasons for not doing this, or maybe it's brilliant. I have no idea. But it worked a treat tonight. But I am someone who struggles to get my syphons clean, especially the small one I use for bottling. Gunk always seems to get stuck and they start growing things. I am a...

Got my nice shiny Grainfather. I am impressed! Lots of really good engineering in there. The nice thing is, I'm not getting sticky wort all over my floor anymore from my previous equipment.:thumb: Loving the chiller and my brew days have sped up considerably. Hubby helped me set it up...

Gonna have a bash at making the Spencer Trappist Ale. Anyone ever have it? Long shot, probably. It's a bloody expensive one to buy and well I know there are other nice Trappist beers out there, this one has special meaning to me. (If a beer can do such a thing!? It's a long story!)...

My friend gave me some old home brewing books - published between the 1950s and the 1980s. Fascinating on many accounts. Also interesting to see how much is still the same in terms of equipment that is sold - Burco boilers, brupaks mashing buckets, king kegs, etc. In one of the books, they...
