Well although I've not been on here I'm still brewing, kits, but not done a bad one yet. So, whats been floating my boat? Well I've freed up my...

    Building a Shed?

    Hey looking good. I've not logged on in a while, the first thread I sought out was this one, and lo, it was right near the top of the 1st page, so still very much alive. Good to see its constantly changing. Do you have socials in there? It would be good to see some busy action shots.

    Wilko's Own Brand Cerveza.

    I'll get through this. About six weeks in maybe and it's improving. But I think it has the flavour of sweeteners rather than sugar. It tastes artificial.

    St Peter's Cream Stout

    Mine's quite strong, 3pts and you know you've had some. I love it, will definitely do it again sometime

    Wilko's Own Brand Cerveza.

    St Peters Cream Stout is delicious. I'm having trouble saving mine for Xmas. Having said that it would be easier if this beer didn't taste like sweaty ball sacks (allegedly). Although... I did have a couple the other night and thought it was coming together. So I'll probably drink it, but...

    Re: Festival Razorback IPA Review

    Yes do. I've done a few now. The Golden Stag is spectacular, I've just bottled a Ltd Ed Elderflower brew and bought another one on the strength of the smell of it brewing. I've done the IPA, which I felt was over primed, and the Landlord, which I was slightly disappointed with. But overall they...

    http://www.concertvault.com/purchase/10496/20010076-37382505.html Hey Dennis, I just downloaded this for free from this concert vault site. There's some amazing gigs on here, two free every week, and the ones they sell are only $5 a go. Well worth the annual fee I think

    Homebrew or shop bought

    I recently had a BBQ and my mate asked me what was my tipple, I said I was partial to an ale, so he bought me a selection of about 6 or 8 bottles, regular ones like Banana Bread beer, Honeydew. I had a couple to be polite and as I was running out of my own ale, he had K'burg, one of the girls...

    Re: St Peters Cream Stout

    I've had a few more now and it really is coming into its own. Lovely burnt liquorice flavours coming through. It is about 5% and is a comforting winter brew

    St. Peters, India Pale Ale

    Try the stout as well. Mines been in the bottle a couple of months and it's just coming good now. Good depth of flavour with a liquorice burnt after taste

    RIP Lou Reed.

    Dennis, sad news indeed. Did you see Gypie Mayo - the other guitarist in Dr Feelgood - passed away . He even beat Wilko Johnson to it as he is on his way out too. A sad week for alternative rock music

    Brewing on the Trub - All good so far...Thanks to the forum

    Well the brew is done I've put it in a PB with 100g of Tate and Lyle. Its quite cloudy but tastes good and I have about 4kits or so to get through first so it should clear. Also as I've brewed it on the trub of an elderflower brew it has really changed the flavour of a normal wherry into...

    Wilko's Own Brand Cerveza.

    :lol: :lol: Having no previous knowledge of how sweaty ball sacks taste I'll just have to imagine (not)! Luckily though I have enough stock to be able to keep it for a good few weeks before I need to crack into it. Reckon it'll make a Xmas party brew :party:

    Wilko's Own Brand Cerveza.

    Just tried mine. Granted its only been in the barrel 3 days but it tastes rank, no resemblance to any lager I've tried, Mexican or otherwise, just cheap generic homebrew with a heavy twang to it. Maybe it will get better as it conditions, but I'm not holding out much hope. Wished I'd never...

    Brewing on the Trub - All good so far...Thanks to the forum

    A couple of weeks ago I asked about brewing a fresh brew on the trub of an old one. Well today I gave it a go... I had a Festival Summer Glory Golden Ale, the limited edition one with the little sachet of dried elderflower, ready to go into a secondary to clear and a Wherry ready to brew. So I...

    Wilkinson golden ale advice

    I tend to leave in the FV for 2wks, sometimes I put into a secondary for 2wks in the cool, then I bottle/keg it and leave it in the warm for 1wk, then put in the cool and leave for a long as I can, and I've always had good results. Occasionally I might give it a stir, especially one like Wherry...

    Vasectomy

    Well we were happily bimbling along, me and the missus and our little girl who is nearly 5 and I was thinking, well, its a shame but it looks like our girl will be an only child. I'm 40 now and my missus is 38 and I didn't want to have anymore kids and be an old dad..... Then my wife came home...

    Festival Landlords Best Bitter Review

    The kit comes with everything you need, for me the pack of priming sugar is too much, I tend to use between 70-80g. For best results batch prime, but you could reconstitute the sugar with say 200ml of water and add 5ml to every bottle..

    Festival Landlords Best Bitter Review

    Having done a few Festival kits now I'd say you definitely need to put into a secondary and leave for a week in the cool, you'll need another FV. After adding the pack of hops it leaves too many floaters, even with using the muslin bag, so I would recommend it.

    Brewing onto a trub??

    Well, I have 3, two are in use fermenting, I'll put the beer that is ready into the empty one to use as a secondary to clear, that will leave me one empty FV, the other one that is fermenting has about another week to go
