And i like it like it Yes I do ..WayWay better than Orval

Water straight from the tap does not have a good taste round my parts mainly due to chlorine which is put in the water for its reactive properties. Beer is about 95% water so use good water. Vent or boil of the chlorine. boiling reduces dissolved oxygen. which is also a reactive chemical...

I boil it all so that chlorine and oxygen are removed and so that I can fill my fermenter with boiling water and thus not use any sterilisers I only make cider kits as im AG for beer. It's probably a bit ott

amazes me how NEIPA got off the ground as a style, let alone they're market saturation, given it's self destructive nature. Considering how much money commercial and homebrewers alike, have thrown at trying to get them to work consistently. The power of Instagram, I guess. I went NEIPA made a...

Ive not used an airlock in 200 brews no problems, just leave metal lid loose on my milk churn it's heavy enough to close up any gaps but light enough to vent gas

Their kit couldn't handle it they would have if they could have

CML sell a blend of hops to emulate punk, I've used it and enjoyed result

I did 5g per litre dry hopped loose in the fv for 2 weeks and it turned out amazing and very different from American hops. I'm very impressed. Just ordered another 225 gs0

A bright and fizzy cider from a vicious place, not my thing really i like it a bit more murky and less excitable
