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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

I've come across this company several times with adverts, but wondered if it was any good (I think there are a few companies doing offers at the moment). Well I took the plunge and paid £2.95 for the 'deal'. Arrived today and I'm impressed! Went with the light box and I'm very excited! The...

So I've completed two toucan brews recently and found mixed results.... The first was the Black Rock Craft Witbier - I used two cans as that's the deal I got from an online seller. The can actually stated you could used 1.7kg of liquid malt or a second can for a more intense flavour. Well after...

Worked a night shift(well.... 2 hours) and decided I needed to bottle my hybrid brew. Hopefully the temps are high enough now to leave it in the garage to ferment and condition. Wilko stout is the next to be brewed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The last few brews I had found that the coopers tap was dirty inside when washing it. Couldn't seem to unscrew it, so just washed it best I could. Finally got it apart and they didn't use a stainless steel spring, so its rusted to Fook. That would explain the dirty water from washing. Luckily I...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOME-BREW-KIT/302701898134?hash=item467a706996:g:eWoAAOSw-qVazRTV A tad out of date, but might be worth it to some one at that price!

Who else partakes in the ancient sport of bottle bank diving? Was down the local bank yesterday morning skimming off anything decent. Get the odd look from people who think I'm crazy lol! Top three bottles for ease of sticker removal are: 1. Fullers London Pride 2. Rekorderlig 3. Kopparberg
