Hi mate, I started out on a budget before the bug caught! Here's what I did with my first AG (BIAB) http://doghousehomebrew.com/equipment/biab.html Cheers Jay :)

I always have a few S04 and US05 in the fridge. Jay

I just chuck a full tablet into each brew mate :) Jay

Enjoy your beer :) Jay

As long as you take care of them they will outlive you! I prefer glass though. Cheers Jay :)

I love my beers but not at 9 quid a pint! Although I have been known to spend a small fortune in the bottle shop in York! Cheers Jay :)

As DrMick has said, way to many hops! i use BeerSmith for designing recipes, but im sure there will be free versions of recipe makers on the net mate. As for cooling prior to my grainfather I used to nochill with my BIAB set up. I used to collect the wort into a food grade container and let it...

Keep it, will be fine :) Jay

I agree I wouldn't worry at all mate, I've got some swing tops I've had for 4 years, they are like that and Ive never had a problem :) Cheers Jay

I've always used leaf in the GrainFather and I'm 12 brews in now with no problems. Jay

Just an update, I went for 200g of Cocoa nibs, steeped them in boiled water for a few minutes, then poured it all into a clean fermentation bucket and racked the brew onto it. Seems the cocoa nibs like to float, will be interesting when i bottle. I'm hoping they will fall to the bottom prior to...

Cheers, for the response people :) if I went down the vodka route will it effect carbonation as I always bottle my Christmas ale :) Jay

To far for me to travel mate, I'm sure someone local will come and assist you. Jay

A bit late this year in brewing my Xmas ale, but its been fermenting since 5/10/16 and is nearly done. This year, I just used an English special bitter recipe and added chocolate malt, black malt, molasses and cinnamon into the mix :) OG was 1.062 so hoping for a nice 6 plus % ale, anyway...

My wife sorted it, she phoned them, think we purchased off Boots Kitchen Appliance online. To be fair it went smoothly with no fuss. Jay

Cheers, That was my thinking on it, wanted some feedback before doing it! This brew has gone off like a rocket, first time ive had to use a blow off tube! Cheers Jay

Hotpoint would entertain us when we requested a new one when the letter arrived (well they did stating they would deliver a new one early 2017!), So read up on it and found out that the seller has an obligation to refund/send a new one out. They did a week later, they came and swapped the...

A tip I read on here the the other day was to grab a handful of sugar sachets from the likes of McDonalds and add one per bottle :) I prefer to batch prime though if bottling, There are plenty of calculators on the net and probably here. Jay

Well I managed to find a few hours and done this years x-mas brew the other day and its fermenting nicely. Didn't really follow a set recipe. Just used an ESB recipe and added some black and chocolate malt, some molasses sugar and a number of cinemon sticks. As it was really planned, I did...

Yep, I've got the same problem! Bottled a Ruby Mild at I think 1.016 (don't ask why :-? ) They are full on gushers. Was thinking of trying to save it by doing what you have done or pouring into a corny. What results have you had now they have been re bottled? Cheers Jay
