.....and if so, what have you got lined up for a treat or three?? I'm sure some of you will have read that I had to tip 40 litres of beer the other week.....this should have been my Christmas session beer. So, I've had to buy some beers in for over the festive period. I got quite a bit to get...

I recently tried a bottle of Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout and would like to try a recreate something similar early in the New Year.....so my research has started. I've read a lot of differing opinion on various website sites regarding what exactly to use and when to add it. So; I'm...

I'm having problems locating a particular John Guest fitting; I'm not even sure if such a thing exists. I bought a new regulator last week and the gas outlet is bigger than the one I was previously using. My eyes tell me the male thread is 5/8 of an inch and what I need is the female screw on...

Has anyone ever done a single hop brew with Nelson Sauvin?? How did it turn out? I like the finish that the NS give a beer, but I have only ever had or made beers using it with a blend of other hops. I'm thinking along the lines of pale malt with a touch of munich and some wheat malt. OG 1050...

Does anyone have any taste feedback on El Dorado hops please? I did a search, but could only find a couple of passing mentions in posts from 2010 :wha: I've a 100g pack that I would like to try in a brew this weekend. Thanks :thumb:

Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, but I couldn't turn up anything with my search. I will be pressing some pears over the next 3-4 days. Consensus seems to be to pulp them and leave to stand for 24-48 hours before pressing to allow tannins to drop out. Do I need to add anything to the...

Hi....hope this is in the right forum?? How are folks getting on with sloes this year? Where are you on this fine Isle of ours? Reason I ask is that I've heard a lot of reports this year of bumper fruit crops and this is indeed true of the apples, pears, plums and brambles that I see on my...

Hello, as mentioned in my introduction, I wish to upgrade my system to HERMS. I've settled on a 6 litre thermopot for the vessel like the one that anon made below and I've placed an order this morning with Bergland. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u57 ... 773739.jpg I'm a total numpty when...
