A stunning deal. If I had a garage I would drive across the country for it all.

Me and misses finished our Kristmas Kracka. Don't brew a 10% orangy, cinammony thing when you have a low stock of other beers :)

All in all about 50 litres of various beers and one more will be undertaken this weekend. Stocking up for Krimbo :)

I brewed a christmas ale last year that I found almost undrinkable. I have brewed 11.8% IPA's that taste smooth and easily go down, but this 9% xmas brew tasted really alcoholic and thin. I noticed my next door neighbour loved it so he ended up drinking pretty much all 9 litres. This year I...

It usually subsides... can take several days though.

That looks like the Krausen to me and is a good, healthy sign :) Jeff

I made an 11% beer I called 'The Epidural'. It was very drinkable from about 6 months and best savored after the 1 year mark. My wife absolutely loved it :)

Great test Johnny ! I now have a decent stock of leaf and pellet and was wondering what should go where to optimise taste etc... now I don't have to worry :)

Oakham's citra is my current favorite commercial beer :)

i did this myself a few months ago... very very nice :)

Now sold !!

Hi all, Due to the happy acquisition of a Braumeister, I no longer need my 3 tier system that was perfect for 5 gallon batches. The 50l mash tun is the jewel in the crown - it's this one from Hop and Grape with the Sparge Arm and Ball Valve which retails at around 260 quid...

Good job Coxy !! How many barrels will you produce per month? I plan to decide next year... that's when I either convert my wooden summer house to brick (with water and waste facilities so could look at a license) or I keep on enjoying the hobby for a a year or two longer and decide further...

Hey Marsie, Thanks for the reply, I have a 33L boiler right now so was after something substantially bigger :) regards, Jeff

What was the recipe Chesh?

What size is the copper Vesp? Jeff

I've had a stout go positively nuclear on me before - fermentation fridge was devastated!!

I do it all wrong. 3 fridges, inefficient equipment and expensive recipes. Looooooooove it :)
