Hey all, as requested in the initial email on signing up (does anyone actually do this or is it just me??) I'm introducing myself!
I'm Ash and a pretty new home brewer and still in the initial frenzy of absorbing as much information as possible on the subject!
Despite having only made two batches I have managed to piece together a lot of equipment and gain a lot of info from various forums etc but most of them a yanks and I wanted to find some good old English home brewers to chat brew with.
My brew system is a home made copper manifold 5 gl cool box mash tun to a 6.5 gl burco boiler (with modified thermostat) and plastic buckets or some old school boots wine making fermenters, I have a home made imersion chiller and ferment in a converted fridge freezer using the freezer as the temp controlled fermenter (STC100 modified) and the fridge as a duel tap kegerator. I'm also currently building a home made stir plate for my starters.
Don't know if any one reading this has done a partigyle type brew before but that is my next planned brew, a big chewy christmas beer with the first runnings and whatever I can squeeze out of the second runnings to stop me drinking the crimbo brew before we even get to December!
If you have Partigyled before could you message me so i can ask some pointers etc??
Nice one
