Hi Lewie i hope you are well. When it comes to the sediment you want to leave as much as possible in the fermentor. when doing kits i always transfer to a bottling bucket (witha tap and bottler) and bottle from there. when i make wines or meads i transfer the liquid into a clean demijohn or...

Hello all isn't the weather wonderful, so lets get all hot and sticky in a hot hot brew chamber :) I will be doing an eight liter batch BITBon my hob on Sunday and before i build my recipe i thought id throw the question out on the forum. For a change I want to do a lower gravity beer and i...

Hi and thanks for the advice. That does seem to tick a lot of the boxes, especially the price

Thank you very much. Its good to be here

Thanks for the advice on books, I got that PDF down so i'll be looking at that when i can.

i do have a couple aging (all my bottles are 500ml) a First gold IPA 5.5abv (i think i have 6 left and its been in bottle since 19.05) and a best bitter 5.4abv x 12 (bottled 02/06). I dont drink much atm so its just my own house beer really. i do a brew a week most sundays and its starting to...

and hi sorry i got excited and forgot my manners haha

I use Mangrove Jacks Mead Mo5. My local brewer only stocks mangrove jacks so i usually pick one up when i get my grain. early on i used champagne yeast but it wasn't as good and it tended to carbonate over time

That is what they say, i must admit i am looking forward to it. Its the waiting that hurts really!

Thank you for the offer, i cant do bottle swaps at present but i'd like to in future so can we put a pin in that one for now? your beer sounds great, is there any fruit you know of that should be avoided when making beer?

Yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away) i was making a small 8l batch of smash using maris otter and mosaic hops. it is my 7th all grain batch and ive never done a smash before.

BRETHREN! You write the lyrics and i'll drunkenly sing the songs! (translates loosely to english as - Awesone, nice to meet you)

Thank you all its nice to feel welcome. i have a strawberry pale ale that is almost done fermenting (with real strawberries) and yesterday i made my first smash with maris otter and Mosaic hops. im flirting with the idea of doing a brewdog clone Ace of Chinook for my next batch, it wont be exact...

I'm drinking a brew i wish i'd never made. its a brow sugar lager made from a Gordies lager kit and a 1kg of brown sugar. fermented at 20 degrees C because i have no heat control. its awful alone but pop a lemonade top in it and its ok. £10 for 40 x 500ml bottles was £10 too much and i wont...

Keep notes in a hard backed note pad (it wipes clean much easier and protects your notes more than a cheap one). Just write it all down on paper and keep it together. it will save you time in the future, a lot of time. or never stand naked near your boil kettle

pIe PAs maybe?

Hi all I have only been all grain brewing for a few months and i make 8 liter batches. my kit is basic as i only use a 14 liter stainless steel pan i got for £12 in Wilkos and a brewing bag that was £8. I have the usual basic hydrometer and trial jar, scientific thermometer and some food grade...
