As above... I bought some old hops from the Worcester Hop shop on the cheap and could use some ideas on what to brew please! 200g Aurora (apparently Styrian on 'roids') - Was thinking of a single hop Pale Ale but only using at most 50g on 150g of this left. I also thought a Stout? 100g...

Hi all, Am thinking of brewing a Pale Ale with the above hops as very late boil whirlpool and/or dry hop, i have 200g huell melon and 100g mandarina, just wondered if anyone had brewed anything similar and in what quantities? I'm going to use a bit of challenger to bitter. Cheers!

It's August so i'd better get this out! I'll be judging on probably the 2nd Weekend of September (the 9th) as I have a wedding the weekend before (poorly timed). I'm really looking forward to trying a few of your beers, let me know if you want my address.

Hi, Brewed a beer today, I usually clean all my kit straight after and boil up a few litres of water in the mash kettle. Left it for 5 mins, when I came back the power in the garage had conked out... Checked the indoor fuse box, all on, we also have an outdoor fuse box, also on so i'm...

One of the most incredible things I've heard in ages. Survived a plane crash that killed their mother and the two pilots and then survived for 40 days in the jungle, whilst keeping their 1 year old sibling alive at the same time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-65864158

No not man flu or a heavy cold but flu flu! It's going around, Anyone else been ill? I came down with it last Thursday and am only just coming through the other side. Horrendous! My wife and I were under blankets shivering with cold with the wood burner on with temps of 40c on Saturday...

Hello, I was looking at Historical beer recipes and stumbled upon this one. It's probably not an accurate representation of a historical beer but I quite fancied doing it anyway... however i'm a bit stuck on Buckwheat Malt... I notice you can get Buckwheat from wholefood shops, would this work...

Hiya, i've had a couple of IPA's recently, one from (err i can't remember) and the other 'Brithop' by Buxton, they both had a peppery flavour which I quite enjoyed. Looking at different websites I can't really find one described as peppery, I suppose it would be described as spicy.... Can anyone...

Despite @Hazelwood Brewery best efforts 😉, Skinners Brewery has gone into administration, a real shame, an iconic Cornish brand. ☹️

Hi all, I have some ingredients for another golden ale, wondered if anyone had suggestions for hop schedule. I do need to use up the ernest (open pack) but other than that an open to suggestions. Looking to be around 5%, otter, probably some cara pils. 100g challenger 100g ernest 100g...

After my nightshift i'm just catching up on the debate last night (need something to get me off to sleep). I'm fairly centrist in my politics I guess. Observations so far; Sunak obviously clued up on the economy (you'd hope so) and blowing the others out of the water in economic questions...

Hello all! It's May and it's American Pale Ales month! I will be judging on the weekend of the 12th June so plenty of time to get your East Coast, West Coast, NEIPA, Hazy, APA's and IPA's in for judging! Anything brewed with American Hops! There will be three of us judging and I cannot wait to...

Hi all, Odd question perhaps but does anyone know anything about these? We are going to get some solar panels soon but this being the UK it won't be enough to power our home throughout the winter and I was looking into roof mounted wind turbines, about the 1kw range. I've read the rules and...

Hi, just wondered if anyone knew of any substitute for this? I've googled but can't find anything... I was going to make a malt miller order and they don't have it. Cheers!

Hi all, just wondered if anyone had used either Olicana (Dual Purpose hop • A lovely citrus hop with Mango, Grapefruit & Passionfruit. More "leafy" than Jester & more vigorous too. Used in Pales ) or Waimea ( A Big dual purpose hop with a citrus, pine needles and tangerine aroma. A good...

https://mailchi.mp/28d696819025/crowdfunding-launch?e=[UNIQID] I've heard rumours for a little while but it seems that the pandemic has hit Skinners hard. They have started a crowdfunding campaign to try and keep it going till the pubs open. It'll be a sad day if they go to the wall.

Good Afternoon Homebrewers!! Perhaps a little early but buoyed by the beautiful weather and having just brewed a hopefully cracking IPA I thought I'd start the March Freestyle Comp thread! Judging will take place on either the first or second weekend of April. Covid dependant I may have a...
