Def interested 250g Citra and 250g East Kent Goldings or similar?

Just making this one, https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/robs-export-porter/ cooling down through my home made chiller as I type. Cut the grain bill by about 5%, OG 1055ish. Added some Cascade and Hallertau that I had left, about 10g in total at the last 5 mins. Anyone made this?

Love a bit of experimentation athumb... But I also like the easy route! Just used Golden Syrup in a Leffe clone I bottled yesterday. It's going to be a long 3 weeks acheers.

Can't you just use Golden Syrup, as it is inverted sugar?

Count me in! Love a freebie.

Best get our lass drinking out of them then! :laugh8::laugh8::laugh8: (so glad she can't see this)

I cold crashed my American IPA (first AG brew for about 15 years!) last week for 4 days, bottled 4 ltrs and kegged the rest (about 15ltrs) and it was really clear, even after dry hopping with pellets straight into the FV. Never tried this method before, looks like it won't any finings at all.

I'm ashamed to say, but in my early drinking day's, my go to bitter was a Double Diamond

I made one using a 25ltr bucket and a kettle element pinched from a travel kettle. Made a false bottom with a sheet of perforated ss, and then modified it by fitting underneath the perf sheet with a splash protector thing (for a frying pan) and that fitted perfectly at the bottom of the (Wilco)...

Yes, very very shiny, but very very expensive. I know home brewing isn't all about saving money by making your own beer, more the pleasure of brewing something as good as the commercial brewers, but to me, spending that sort of money on home brew equipment is nuts.

Love the Moody's, Days of Future Past ..... classic! :)

Made my first AG brew in about 15 years today. Bought my ingredients from crossmyloof. Used Simcoe in place of Pacific Jade, similar alpha acid. Everything went hunky dory, pitched yeast at about 27 degrees, a bit high I know, but stuck it in the cellar so hopefully ok. At the top of the celler...

Ghost Dance from Aldi, American IPA, Galena, Amarillo and Chinook hops, 5.3% £1.29 and it's fookin gorgeous!

Loads of favourites, love hoppy blonds, Fernandes Brewery in Wakefield (now owned by Ossett Brewery) make some beauts, Cascade and Polaris are gorgeous. Love punk, love Leffe, but my favourite friday night in front of the telly tipple is McEwens Champion. Mmmmm!

I'm going to use their US Pale Ale. When I was making ag years ago I always used Gervin ale yeast. I might try that next time from Wilkos. I've read that it is muntons Nottingham yeast and cheap at 1.75

Thanks all. Got my ingredients from Crossmyloof and didn't realise there was a detailed explanation at the bottom of the box. Will def use them again, quick dispatch and a very friendly email! Making this next week: https://beerandbrewing.com/mr-harry's-pig-tale-extra-pale-recipe/

Thanks Foxbat I'll be using dried yeast not liquid yeast.

Thanks. Just used Brewers Friend's calculator (forgot about using that!), and that says 2L for a 20L batch but that was using DME (320g). Would you recommend using DME rather than 2L of wort?

After about 15 years since my last AG brew, I'm ready to start again. I remember to make a yeast starter I would take about 300 ml of wort and add my yeast to this till it bubbled up nicely to it's magical goodness. Is this method ok or is there a better way?

Had a feeling it wasn't that easy!
