You will be surprised that you could actually drink it all...
Massive fermentation...put a couple of boxes of malt on top to try and keep the lid on but it's still bursting out...been out for a couple of hours came back it was all over the work top and floor!
It's started making popping noises now!

An Ankoù
Landlord.
Don't understand what that means. Is it a linguistic or a conceptual problem, I wonder. Probably both!
Just a simple wheat....2.5kg wheat,2.3kg lager...MJ BAVARIAN wheat yeast.
There's not a lot of head space in the fv
Ya right...I think I might buy a new one.
Pip the JRT is now barking at the fv..she doesn't like the popping noise!

Run out of grain and the weather is gonna be too warm for me soon, so just a kit for me this afternoon. The last 'brew' I'll do for about 4 or 5 months.
Brewferm Belgium Dubbel.
I'm hoping it'll be conditioned nicely by Christmas, we'll see :)

Don’t take your eyes off it
Living on the edge here mate!
Added the last of the runnings from the sparge to the kettle for the last 10 mins of the boil... I think I need a beer to steady my nerves
Put a padlock on that. The yeast tried to strangle me last time I used it
Brewed a Blonde Brut(e) ish kind of thing a la @MyQul with lager malt and all C hops. Added a tiny bit of wheat malt for head and a smidge of caramalt just for colour. Using youngs lager yeast but just brewing at whatever temperature the warehouse floor imparts, probably around 14ish I would think. Bang on 1.036 as predicted, but made about 3 litres extra so my efficiency must have improved somewhat.
Also threw 10litres of ginger beer on. Never made it before, didn't have any Cof T, but put some yeast nutrient in, hopefully that'll be ok.

I kegged the plum porter at the weekend and tried it this morning, mostly to check whether the pressure in the King Keg was at the right level - it was fine.
The new plum flavouring I’m trying is definitely superior to Uncle Roy’s in my view. Uncle Roy’s seems to me to have an intense aroma but also quite a strong chemical tang and not a lot of plum flavour. The aroma and flavour from “Special Ingredients” is far more natural.
In the end I used 15ml of flavouring for a 23 litre batch and I think it might be about right. The beer has been conditioning for only two days so it could all change over the next few weeks, I’ll keep you posted.
If you do decide to give it a try, go to the Special Ingredients web site. Amazon charge £9.95, Special Ingredients own price is £6.95.

The difference in price is the postage. Amazon is free delivery special ingredients is 6.95 plus 2.95 pounds delivery. Same price if your only ordering the one bottle.
I am going to give this a go then maybe try the coconut
