    Priming Sugar

    I've always dissolved the sugar in hot water, brought to boil, allowed to cool and poured carefully into the FV immediately before bottling.

    Essex Tap Water

    Interesting, just left this reply elsewhere... I'm a londoner. Looked up all the info on local water in my neighborhood and have my own kitchen cabinet filled with more white powders than Keith Richards can lay his hands on. I've tried a little of this... and a little of that.. and noticed...

    Hi from London

    Hi from London

    Hey Bump I'm in North London! Smell has never been a problem to be honest - although a considerable amount of the rest of the process frequently is. The malt smells are fantastic!

    John Venables released again!!

    I can never truly decide which side of the fence I stand on this issue - especially since I've had kids. The part of me which is predominantly father, would argue for full and total retribution. If someone took the life of one of my children I'd probably consider taking theirs myself -...

    Hi Oldbloke! That's not a bad idea, never thought of it - however, the flavours are noticable albeit very subtle... and I think I'd not really want them to be any more powerful, personal taste I suppose. If you do hold them back, let me know how it goes! :cheers:

    Hey Rick Haven't for a while due to various bits of **** happening in my life... however, just ordered gear for a single grain, single hop brew so should be back in the sadle at the weekend! How goes life and all that jazz with you? :cheers:

    Sorry for the delay - only pop in here every now and then. I used bog-standard white wine yeast I think. I did make up another batch of this - came out even better. If you do use hops, wrap in newspaper to keep the light out! Have fun.

    Hate brewdog but loved this beer. Gone up in my estimation, just wish they could hold back on the headline grabbing ****.

    Help with Mead %

    My last mead (recipe is in here somewhere), came out at 17%... feel free to nick it. Good that you changed the yeast - bread yeast should only ever be used for bread! Always serve mead at room temp.
