@jjsh it arrived Monday yep, thanks once again!

Woohoo, Cheers @jjsh! Thanks for taking the time to judge and give feedback. Well done @pilgrimhudd , sorry to hear your beer didn't clear properly. Here is the feedback I got incase any one else is interested. "Basically, your entry, Blackish Sheep, was outstanding. It had a lovely...

Thanks Dan for judging and for the feedback. And well done to @BeerCat and @steve123. My feedback from Dan for your interest. As I said to Dan I think he has been a bit generous with the scores myself, but i'll take it! Aroma - very inviting, sweet malt & nutty, which mingled with the...

Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV15.

So your cold stepped Carafa.......... have you just chucked the malt in a jar with cold (previously boiled?) water for a day or so to get the colour without so much of the flavour? Do you then chuck this in the mash or straight in to the boil?

Just wondering how this turned out Stigman? I am going to attempt my first Brut IPA this weekend, reading a lot of conflicting info on use rates for the glucoamylase though. Malt miller website suggest 1.8ml for a 23l batch but then your recipe (also from them!) says 15ml. probably err on side...

Yep, I should have a mild ready, subject to a tasting in a few weeks. Will PM for details.

I'll hopefully have one in the post to you at the weekend!

Interesting recipe! Will be interested to hear how that turns out when it's all done and kegged up. I had a similar break material clogging issue on Saturday too. Ended up pouring the contents of the kettle in to the FV through a sieve, it's all looking a bit murky currently but hoping a cold...

Put me down to swap 2 bottles please.

Horners, I have found exactly the same. Tried one last night and it was a bit, meh, it's only been in the bottle two weeks, so hopefully it will develop nicely for Christmas, but I was hoping for more to be honest. I undershot the OG quite a bit so it's not as strong as it should be which isn't...

I'd be interested in trying the Pecan Stout. I have a Chiron (Thornbrige clone pale at 4.2%) or in a couple of weeks a vanilla mild based around Twisted Barrels Beast of a Midlands mild around 4.2%, both from the recent CAMRA homebrewing book.

Hummmm, ok, I think there is enough here to put me off giving this a go for now, will stick with priming with sugar and just up the honey in the boil next time I brew it. Thinking about it, I never did hear again off the guy who said he had primed his stout with honey.......I hope he is ok!

I am just wondering if anyone here has any experience of batching priming for bottling with honey? I have brewed a winter warmer ale from Greg Hughes’ book, which has some honey in at the end of the boil but hasn’t quite had the full impact on flavour I was expecting (I was a little short on...

Wow, just spotted this and it looks like a belter of a recipe, it's going on my 'to brew' list. Wonder if I can get it in and conditioned in time for December now? @BrannBrew Just a query the Cacao nibs you used, were they raw or roasted do you know, did you grind them at all? And the coffee...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I brewed yesterday and stirred pretty much constantly. My arm felt like it was going to fall off after, but it definitely improved the time to cool. Might have to look in to rigging up some kind of auto-stirrer, maybe with the electric whisk or a paint stirrer or...

I am currently using an immersion chiller which is made for ~12mm stainless steel pipe wound in to a coils, you know the type, to cool my wort after the boil. This came with my AG setup that I bought second hand as a job lot. Whilst it does the job, and I have made some pretty good beer, after...

1. 6.1% 2. 7.2% 3. 8.4%

+1 for inkbird controller. I use one for the fermenting and conditioning fridge. It will control a heater and cooling device for perfect temp control, and then use it to ensure my bottled beer is served at the temp I want. I also use mine, on a timer so my strike water is bang on the right...
