Hello

Hello,

I've just registered because I've been trawling the internet for brewing ideas. I've got my first home brew bubbling away based on malt extract and some hops and extra maltose and a top brewed yeast.
I figured that as it is summer top brew was the way to go. Hopefully this will be drinkable! We'll see.

However, why I really joined this forum is to seek out people who are into quirky beers. These days, and especially where I live, there are more and more interesting beers coming out of micro-breweries, so I can't see the point of trying to replicate these - I can buy them.

However, what I can't buy are many sour beers (difficult to find), gruits (almost impossible to find), other herbal beers, say Elder or juniper.

That's all for now.

Hi and welcome!

I know there have been a few gruits and bragotts brewed recently, have a good trawl through the brewday posts and you should find them. :thumb:

welcome! yeah a few people got interested in braggots. I havnt brewed one in years myself but its a wonderful winter drink, you can even brew up a gallon just by taking a few litres of your wort from a beer you're brewing, adding honey and fermenting like that! must do it next time...

perhaps you can search for "bacon beer" and "cock ale" on here :lol:
