I am going to get a Coopers Irish Stout kit under way this weekend, but I will be going my own way a little with the recipe. I have 1kg of Youngs Beer Enhancer and I have picked up 500g of crushed chocolate malt, I also have 1kg of demerara Sugar. The plan is as below, but I do have some quick...

I prefer to go and buy supplies somewhere so I have been looking for home brew suppliers near me in South Wales. I actually work in Cardiff part of thr week so assumed it would be easy to find a supplier somewhere in the city, but there doesn't seem to be any independent suppliers I can find...

I don't have large equipment for a 20ltr AG SMASH, so I will be doing maybe a 10ltr to start with on the stove. The question is, if I want to ferment more than 10ltrs, can I stove prepare 10ltrs, transfer to the fermentor and stove brew a second 10ltrs and add that on top of the previous brew...

Hi, I have bought all the ingredients to get a lager on the go and I am considering dry hopping with Strisselspalt hops as this is the hop used in Kronenbourg lager. I know it's not as simple as adding this hop to get the same taste as 1664, but the idea is to get that similar flavour/aroma...

Hi, I am totally new to brewing and I have never made a brew, as such, I have decided to start with a basic lager kit. I have all the fermentation equipment I will need, sanitiser and I am working on collecting the bottles, mainly by drinking lots of lager and cider lol! I will be capping in...

Morning all, I'm Ian and I live in South Wales, very new brewer, so new that I haven't made a brew yet. I have some basic fermentation equipment and I am currently collecting bottles for my first go, did look at buying bottles but it seems just wrong buying beer bottles without beer in them, so...
