Hi, Usually a beer brewer but the mrs loves her wine. Decided I would do a kit for her, she is expecting it to be rubbish (as she deems my hedgerow wines of old to be) She likes muscat or Pinot Grigio We both like Malbec as a red. Looking for recommendations for a kit of either style to...

No problem, thanks for the reply. It’s a while ago since I watched it, I might rewatch it, and try and work out a game plan.

Hi all, I think this early spell of nice weather has got me in the mood for a lager. Has anyone got any suggestions for a receipe for a lager that I can ferment under pressure with a genuine lager yeast please. (no kviek / kolsch yeasts). Also would like to understand how I can use the...

Still available.

@MashBag @Tony Dyer Is there anyone else we could get on board and maybe be able to club together and get a 25kg sack each to make the minimum to buy from brewers select? Admittedly its probably a bit more than each individual wanted to store, but the advantage is we could each have a different...

OK, its denser, and if I am delicate the amount of oxygen being mixed in will be very minimal. Probably less than for every brew I have gently syphoned into an unpurged keg without splashing, without any noticeable oxygenation. My opinion is that it is very much horses for courses, highly...

For highly hopped beers, yep totally agree, but for more traditional ales / pale ales like I tend brew then I have never had any issues with oxidation, CO2 is heavier than air, so I believe the blanket of CO2 produced by the yeast should sit in the bucket and protect it for a couple of minutes...

Interesting... Ive always added to the fermentation bucket once ive cold crashed. I use the Dr Oetker sachets, I use 1.5 teaspoons in about 150ml of water for a 20-25l batch, sprinkle on top of the water and leave it for 20 mins, then stir it and put in microwave for 10 second intervals until I...

Ahh I see. I called brewers select in peterborough, they will sell to public / homebrewers without a trade account. But even if you collect their minimum order is £100, which at their price is 4 x 25kg sacks of MO, I would take a sack if I had to but storing 2 sacks and committing to that much...

That would be perfect, don't currently have anything to be storing it in thanks. Half a bag sounds good works out at base malt for 3 x 20l ish brews. good balance between number of brews and storage room. How many bags were we ordering and how many people are in? if we need to collect I have...

I would be interested in probably 5-8kg of a base malt, either MO or golden promise or pilsner. how much depends on how much others want and what splits best based on 25kg bags really. I would go halves on a sack if that suited.

Possibly @MashBag. I am Cowbit. It seems there are a few of us locally, I think there is another member in Quadring too. If you are ordering I could use a few kg of base malt.

Some more photos I missed off below
