Hi all, I am planning a couple of extract brew kits, Badger golden glory & Timothy taylor landlord. I have also got some crushed wheat malt to steep to try and help with head retention, how much should i use? i thought 150-200g per brew. Cheers Ray Planning :- Tettnang lager, TTL & Badger...

Would that be 48 hours since you're last beer !

Cheers PD, cannot stretch to an ag setup as that would be pushing my luck ! I have a 16l stock pot, will that be big enough for a biab ?

Hi all, Bottled up my Bavarian weissbier this morning and have also done a Hopback old master mild extract.The chocolate malt smelt lovely when it was steeping.I hope to store the mild away for later but that will probably not happen ! I have got my second Summer glow extract in the fermenter...

beerlabelcreator.com is a good one & is free. It gives good clear designs, better than beer labelizer in my opinion. :thumb:

Had a small taste of the boddingtons when i got home from work, it has already carbonated well after only 2 days and tastes superb. Roll on a proper taste in 3 weeks .

Well i've ordered 2 more kits from Brew uk, the way to amarillo and summer glow so no going back to tins now. Got up this morning & went in to check the brew , the lid was bulging so i released it slightly. Went back to check it 10 mins later & the yeast is trying to escape so gone off like a...

Just finished my 2nd extract brew a wadworth 6x.All went well with a 6l boil then topped up to 23l with Malvern spring water.Added the re-hydrated nottingham yeast & now tucked away in the dining room for 14 days. The only thing differing from the instructions was the og which came out at 1048...

I added 35g after 6 days and just chucked them into the fv, its been in 11 days now so will bottle up on wed/thurs next week. Got them at the Bran Tub on Belle Vue Terrace, £1.99 for 50g.

I have just done this as my last can brew and brewed with 75% light spraymalt 25% brewing sugar then added 35g of dried elderflowers after 6 days. Still in the fv but had a small taste yesterday a the elderflowers have come through well so hopefully it will be a nice light summer ale. It came...

It's nice to know there are other brewers in the local area, you wouldn't know unless you are on this forum. The Boddingtons has been in the fv for a week now so another week & into the bottles & see how it turns out. I had a taste of the Wilco hoppy bitter with elderflower yesterday & it tastes...

I'll try a few extract brews first to get used to the process then consider biab. There are some good looking kits on Brew uk so work through some of those first.

Saw it in the Malvern Gazette tonight,did it make the water taste better ? I have a wadworths 6x extract kit to put on as soon as i have put the wilco hoppy bitter into a keg next wednesday so will be off up to the spring to get some water.

You have to be careful which one you use, my Dad used to be on the Town council & they used to fence some off & post notices not to use them but that didn't stop people using them. The one along Jubilee Drive is the one i have been to.

I've got a shed & a double garage, unfortunately both are full to bursting, besides it would be pushing my luck a bit !

Cheers Bob, haven't got the room for a ag set up. Boddingtons is going well & smells good . Might go up the Malvern Hills for the next brew & get 23l of spring water to see if it makes any difference.

Hi all, My 15l pot finally arrived after 2 weeks [first one was lost by the delivery firm]. Did a Boddingtons bitter from Brew uk. Good instructions easy to follow.Started off at 7 yesterday morning and the whole house stank of hops an hour later. Finished spot on target @ 1036. Re-hydrated the...

The 2 kits arrived today but still no pot so will have to wait 'till the weekend to have a dabble. Read the instructions that are in the Boddingtons kit & looks fairly straightforward so fingers crossed !!.

Hi all, I've done 25 + kits, mostly with good results but reading the posts on here i fancy having a go at extract brewing so have ordered a 15l stock pot off ebay & boddingtons and wadworth's 6x kits from brew uk. i have the basic kit for kit brewing so with the pot i hope this will suffice.Any...

Hi Hainsey, I have done this kit and be careful of adding extra hops as i brewed it slightly short and it came out very hoppy. I have started another off tonight with nothing added. Brewing : Wilco Golden ale & cerveza. Conditioning : Woodfordes Sundew [ which tastes infected & sour as might...
