So I've now officially stopped brewing, all my stuff is gone :(. However I still have a new Gone with the wheat Gluten Free Czech Pils kit (still in date) that needs a good home! Free to whoever wants it, collection from Shefford, Bedfordshire. Posting will be a faff and cost a fair bit.

Any ideas, I really have no idea nowadays. Would like it to go to a good home...

Hi Everyone, I'm selling my whole HB setup as I've lost interest in it/I'm now Gluten Free so don't drink that often. It includes everything needed for kit and BIAB brewing. Includes: Catering standard stainless steel worktop complete with Liebherr fridge. The fridge has been modified into a...

Coopers without a shadow of doubt. No airlock, no messing about with taps, no thin handles that make carrying a pain. I'm actually thinking of throwing out my others and getting another Coopers to use if I need to do a secondary.

So I'll throw in my thoughts as to why the Coopers fermenter is the best to use vs any other plastic fermenter. Made from thicker plastic, which makes them far more rigid and easier to handle the weight of the brew The chunky handles on the side make carrying the whole thing far easier The...

Hi All, Haven't been on for a while, but still been brewing 🙂 and making pretty good alcoholic beverages. Anyway started a Festival German Weiss last night, decent kit, so made sure everything was spot on (cleaned everything, made sure the yeast had come up to room temp etc. etc.). finished...

I'm confused!? (happens easily) I got a strip torn off me the other day, when my wife looked at the hydrometer reading when I was taking my OG. She said that you have to take the reading at the middle/base of the fluid, not the raised edge (Like I have been doing since I started). Technically...

Both are Greyhounds. Lurchers are a greyhound mixed with another dog.

Well it is the Lazy Hound Brewery! Mario is certainly a lazy hound

Just had this little lot delivered from the good people at Home Brew Online. Good dates on everything, nothing wrong and delivered by DPD, very happy.

Contemplating buying this bench capper. I know it's expensive but looks like it would last forever! https://www.home-brew-online.com/equipment-c40/super-grifo-heavy-duty-table-top-capper-p2387 Anyone got one? Shall I go with a cheaper one...

Found this seller on EBay with some interesting and cheap unmarked 2 can kits (with no instructions lol): https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223455866448 Anyone tried these? I fancy taking a punt.....

Hi people, I'm on to my second brew this year (slow start I know). Trying to use up all my supplies, so have this Wherry and grabbed a Wilko limited edition pilsner to use up a solid Coopers BE2. After doing my usual read up on this kit, I've bought new yeast (CMF Real Ale). First proper two...

Had a few months off brewing, mainly due to one small bundle of joy (ish...lol), so just using up all my remaining ingredients before I splash some dosh and buy some new kits! I know everyone has probably brewed, drunk and forgotten their B&M kit, so will keep this short: The kit plus 220g of...

Check my post out, already done it and its bloody brilliant! I used some fine mesh bags from ebay to hold all the spice together and make it easier when bottling (no bits). You can add anything to be honest, but just google traditional spices and throw it in!

This one has had about 4 months in the bottle now and ultimately I don't really like it. That's not to say its undrinkable, some people will probably love it, but I find its a bit too 'home brewey' Australianish lager (not really refreshing). The lime flavour comes through, but doesn't over...

Been a while since I was on here, but have three brews which have had about 3 months in the bottle, so are more than ripe for drinking. No shortage of fizz (also did some without priming), the smell once you crack the top is amazing - Full on Christmas spice! I cracked one early and it...

While waiting for my second child to be born, decided to do a John Bull cider kit to pass the time LOL Batch Size: 22.5 Litres 1 x Can 1.75kg 500g Brewing sugar 1L Lidl naturis raspberry & cranberry juice (no added sugar, so contains Sucralose) 4.5 L Lidl naturis Apple juice (no added sugar...

He's done a lot for Comic relief and generally he was a good entertainer, but I must say his comedy is very thin at times and always plays on the 'black man' aspect which seems to be very outdated nowadays. I watched some of it last night and turned off as it was just plain boring.

I'm probably in the region of 2-3 pints a week, along with low/non alcoholic beers. Pretty boring, but I prefer water/juice/diet fizzy most of the time.
