Hi all. I have a bit more sorachi ace than I can use so thought I'd pass it on (if anyone's interested). It's 2013 harvest T90s and I'm happy to sell it for £5 per 100g including postage (vac packed). Let me know if you'd like some.

I've got about 600g surplus Cluster T90s that I'd like to swap. I'm open to pretty much any hop. Please get in touch if you're interested.

I'm hoping to get this on tomorrow afternoon: Yeast is US-05, Until tonight when SWMBO guzzled almost an entire bottle of SN Torpedo and proclaimed it as "her new fave" (She doesn't drink ale) my intention was to brew to 12-13% and store for a year but now I'm thinking slightly longer brew...

Whilst chatting to a mate in the know this evening I learned that Brewdog don't brew their own beers!! It seems that whilst the company invent their recipes, they now contract out the physical brewing.

Brewed this on Sunday morning: Mashed almost on target at 66º (I think as my thermometer is about as accurate as sticking your finger in and saying "ouch that's hot!") and then it went down hill! My hop stopper blocked after draining 10ltrs, resulting in me having to bail the wort out the...

Loosely based around the Brewdog Alice Porter but I've tinkered.. With such a high FG I don't want to mash really high in order to get the body and risk ending up too sweet so have added a few oats with the intention of mashing at 67º. The Alice Porter recipe I was given uses Sorachi Ace as...

This is my hop stopper: It seems to block very quickly and I wondered if anyone could advise on how to stop it? I've seen suggestions of putting hop socks over the hop stopper but tbh I can't imagine that's going to work too well (plus I don't have any hop socks or stainless jubilee clips to...

Started my 1st AG for about 3 years at 6:30am on Sunday. All went well apart from the 'double checking' my liquor figures, meaning that I only collected 16ltrs instead of the 20 I expected. Oh and issues with my hop stopper blocking! No pics pre mash as it was pitch black and tbh, I was too...

Hi all, long time no post. Thanks to some amazingly generous home brewers, I'm making a return to all grain brewing after almost 3 years off. I wanted to keep it a simple IPA to get me started again so have ended up with this: Yeast is likely to be S05 I only have 75g of Apollo in the...

I wondered if anyone would be interested in a hop swap? I've got up to 100g of Amarillo which I'd be willing to trade. Ideally I'm looking for american high AA% hops (chinook, nugget etc..) but am open to offers.

I'm dry hopping an IPA in the FV at the moment. It's been dry hopipng for 4 days but I'm quite keen to get it over to the keg to condition in time for Christmas/New Year. If I add hops loose into the keg, I recon I stand a fairly good chance of blocking the hose on my top tap and ballsing the...

If I pitch yeast at 1.063 OG and expect a 75% attenuation rate that takes the estimated FG to 1.016. What happens if I then pitch a fresh batch of yeast at 1.034? Will the estimated FG remain at 1.016 or will it be a new calculation based on the SG at the time of pitching (in this case 1.009)?

Aldi are selling bottles of Banks' UCB (ultimate curry beer) for £1.50!

Pocktoberfest is on in a couple of weeks (29th & 30th October) in Pocklington (that's 1/2 way between hull & york for those that don't know) and I wondered if anyone fancied it? I'm going on my own (I sure as hell ain't buying a ticket for swmbo when all she'd do is moan about not liking beer)...

You might remember a while ago Emma (my fiance) and I started running. I was doing it to get fit (and got bored so gave up) but Emma had decided, despite her own ill health, she wanted to run the Jane Tomlinson York 10k for a cancer charity as her mum has an inoperable brain tumor. Given her...

I've not been around for quite a while as I've been busy getting my new business off the ground so.... HIYA!! :thumb: Hope you've all been good in my absence? I've finally got the site up and running for my business. I'm not really a web designer so it's taken quite a bit of doing and I've...

After the success that is my Suburban Stout, I've decided to brew a pumped up version with an estimated target abv of 8+% (cleverly code named Suburban Stout MK2). Im happy with the recipe but the grain bill will weigh in at over 9.5kg and I know from the last brew that filled the mash tun to...

Yesterday morning I was cleaning the house and sorting stuff ready for moving house. Somehow I managed to drop both my 17" MacBookPro and SWMBO's 15" PowerBook down stairs! I dont even know how it happened, I turned to close the stair gate and when I turned back they went!... The PowerBook...

Ive got 30 bottles of pale ale in the garage 4 of which have frozen and burst their lids. Obviously thats the seal gone so when they defrost they'll be flat as a fart but is it worth re-priming and capping them or are they now only good for SWMBO's shandy?...

...........then you need: BOOBIES & KITTENS :party:
