I use their ‘five’ which as you might have guessed is a US-05. It generally rips through a beer in a couple of days. Their midland Trent has been great for bitters
I have a Cobb bbq and love it. Uses compressed coconut and lasts for about 3 hours. I can cook on it after about 2 minutes. Done a normal bbq and smoked meat joints on it such a versatile bit of kit
Definitely. Next one is a wilko winter ale with a dry hop edition and a bag of dry malt I think. Got a coopers real ale basic kit with the equipment for Christmas so I’m trying to think of something a bit more advanced to do with that to try and push what I’m doing
This was a lot of firsts for me here. Never brewed anything, never bottled anything and never kegged anything. Although my stout suffered with over carbonation on the whole I think I survived quite well.
@terrym just wondering as well do you mix the sugar with a little water? If so how much? And do you add this straight to the fermenter and mix it in or add it and leave it a while before bottling? Thanks for your help chap
Just started brewing and have a stout that’s nearly ready to keg. I shall be using bottles so thanks to Terrym that offered the advice on doing that but I wondered if anyone can offer advice on carbonating the stout in the keg
@terrym
That’s great I’ll take a look. I don’t drink fizzy beer, so I won’t be producing any lagers at all. I’m purely a stout and ale drinker. I shall take a look at the calculator for the bottles.
