After an amount of interest, I am looking to start a homebrew club for the area around Chichester. Anyone interested can message myself. Due to the current situation, and time to set such things in motion, I am looking to next spring to start.

the hornet group is a craft beer group. not general homebrewing club.

Havent found one in Chichester, am starting one unless i am wrong.

I went with 1 wilko kit 1 amber malt extract 2 kg of sugar and 1 kg beer enhancer. 4oz black treacle. came in at 1.096 and i ll get 10 pts from the fruit, so should get a 12% imp.stout from this.

If i have a demijohn , i throw it on my stir plat, (lab one i got yrs ago) turn it on max and that vibrates co2 out. but for 5 gallon carboys i have a glass tube fitted in bung, hook that up to brake bleeder and start pumping. 3-4 squeezes and watch those bubles rise, i just keep going ...

doesn't that risk oxidization of the wine? thats why i use a brake bkeeder on meads, as they are hyper sensitive to it.

sorry that is straight amber malt, my english ale can go to 14% its a notts strain and been harvested from a strong ale .

£3.50 mixer paddle and 2 mins on a cordless drill, either after adding starter, or just sprinkle dry yeast on top and never had a fail. If doing a very big braggot or Imp Stout, will do a 2nd time 12 hrs later. (no it doesn't effect the beer)
