Does anyone have a recipe the Amstel Bier that they would like to share. I have been looking for one for a long while now.

I have never heard of these, they look ok.athumb..

It was the 'Oldy Wordly English IPA' from the book Brew James Morton.

Who are CML?

Sorry I am talking lager, in the supermarkets.

I tried three popular online shops in the UK. The liquid yeast was nearer £9, 8kg of malt £18, the hops (3 types) £12, then £6 delivery.

Or you look get 38 pints for £19.00 in a supermarket if you want to go down that road.

I have not made a brew for nearly 12 months and have just been online to order some all grain ingredients, hops and yeast etc and was astonished at the price increases since I last bought anything. To make 20 litres of an IPA it would have cost me between £40.00 and £50.00 for everything. I bit...

Thank you for the replies, can you keep it in the same FV when you crash ales also.

Last week I made a Kolsch and now the fermentation is done I move the Kolsch to a new FV and crash cool for 5 days at 1c. My question is do you have to move the Kolsch to a new FV when crash cooling or can you crash cool using the same FV that the fermentation took place in, even though the...

Thank you the comments so it looks like I am best to use the refractometer for testing before the yeast is pitched and once it has been pitched a hydrometer should be used.

I am getting a bit confused with these, are these all the same malt or all different in their own right?

If you need to slightly lower the pH during the mash what is the best thing to add. And like wise to slightly increase the pH during the mash.

Can anyone recommend a good digital water hardness testing meter.

I just need to find somewhere to purchase the big elastic bands from.

Please can you explain oxidation as this is something new to me.

Sorry perhaps I have not made myself clear, I would like to use cling film instead of the FV lid.

I watched a film on YouTube the other day where the brewer used food grade cling film with a pin hole made in it as a lid for his FV. Has anyone tried this as I find it can be hard trying to remove the FV lid when the FV is in the fermenting fridge as there is not much room to manoeuvre. Cling...

Do you use just normal tap water.
