I like the classic gin

Thanks. It's really an article for the type of people who ask me about brewing, without writing a whole 'how to' book. I guess just an overview. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk

I normally write about cooking and growing, but lately, I've been writing a bit about my homebrewing activities. The last in the series is a walk-through of the all grain brewing process. http://justsimon.co.uk/home-brewing-grain-beer-brewing/

Awesome, guess it's good to keep a log. I actually would, if. I didn't have so much focus on growing and cooking. Really, I just dropped in a few beer-related articles for fun.

Funny how it goes! I often find people who are into one interest often share others with me... The drink is now bottled and sat conditioning.

That's a pretty good business model.

I use the Maltmiller a fair bit. I guess you mean the 26.3 litre capacity unit at £165? It does look a nice piece of kit, but I'm wondering if it has the same advantage as the ball on the fast ferment?

It is tempted, but I'm only doing small batches, say 15 to 23L. Though I am looking for improvements where possible.

I like the idea that it avoids racking several times, plus the oxygen exposure and sanitising required every time. It sounds like there are some drawbacks. Is the non-sealing a great problem?

Thanks. I had my eye on the fast ferment.... I'm afraid it has to be plastic for a poor man like me :lol: As much as I'd like some stainless kit, I'm going to make do on a budget! Though hopefully I can improve things a little.

Thanks for the info. I will check it out! I'm considering an upgrade 😀

Hello, Just wondered if anybody has experience with these please?? I like the look of them and it seems a good idea. Are they really that much better than the ordinary fermentation bucket? Thanks.

I've used Green Bullet as the bittering Hops, and some late additions of Centennial. Here, I walk-through the design process for the Centennial Green bullet Pale Ale. Though I normally write about growing and cooking, with a Chilli bias... Lately, I've been publishing a few articles about...

Point taken. In all honesty, the article came out much longer than I had aimed for.... but once I had started writing.... I mentioned about water companies sometimes providing a report as to the chemical make-up of the water. Strangely, some people round this way claim the hard water is...

I often have people ask me questions about basic brewing, as they know it's one of my many interests.. I was actually raising the point that there ARE ways of altering the water, and that it DOES make a difference to the brew. Really to be aware of it, and that further investigation/reading...

Pleased you like it. It's all aimed at people like me, whose hobbies tend to overlap.

So I've been busy writing some articles about home brewing. Though I normally write about food, recipes and chilli growing. This time, the article is about craft beer brewing at home. Hope you enjoy and find it useful. http://justsimon.co.uk/home-brewing-craft-beer-brewing/
