Beersmith, it has everything you need

Hi Zero from sunny Leigh.

PM sent, I filled 80 on Sunday and stocks are low!

I live in Leigh, Lancashire and am planning on buying some rhizomes. The ground is clay and we only get sun in late afternoon. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience of what would work well and what to avoid?

Am I the only person who really doesn't like the Wherry kit ? I have brewed it 4 times now as I believe that everyone else can't have such different taste to me but I have realised I just don't like it! Too fruity and what I think of as estery but I may be misusing the word. Initially I put it...

+1 Rompy You can't go wrong with a few basic bits if kit in the Wilkos sale. Add a Coopers kit as they seem consistently decent and you are off and running cheaply. I wouldn't put your first attempt in a pressure barrel as there are too many possible problems with leaks etc. you can use ole coke...

That kits works out at £64.45 for a beer kit, bucket, some basic gear and some bottles. It can be done much cheaper if you want to save money but it will do the job.

Have a look at www.bentnbongs.com it's a cracking festival.

I am in Leigh. If you need some advice from my limited brewing knowledge feel free to PM me (send a personal message through the site) just click on my name above.

Personally I much prefer bottling to pressure barrels. Far more convenient and far less problems. The only brewing disasters I have had so far have need due to barrels.

I'll be there. Some cracking beers on and always a great - and very busy - time. Are you local?

Welcome, would love to know how it all went.

Hi and Welcome. you will learn lots in here, forget having a life outside brewing, it sorts of takes over!

I haven't brewed this myself but when researching the same thing I came across a recipe from the original brewer which I copied - sorry I can't remember where from Fraoch Froach Heather Ale recipe from the brewer himself via Zymurgy Vol. 17, No. 4 Special 1994 Heather Ale Ingredients...

I use an immersion heater in a coke bottle in my fridge with the sensor fastened to the fv in bubble wrap. It seems to stay at the correct temperature no problem. I did it this way as I already had an immersion heater (£9.50 from Argos) Waste not want not

Glad I had mine done, made life easier (mostly for the OH) I had it done under a general on Thursday afternoon and played rugby in the front row on the Saturday. One thing from mates experiences. Be sure you will be with the current woman forever and be sure you definitely don't want more kids.

Morning Kev from sunny Leigh. That sounds like a reet interesting menu you have there. Pie wine for Chrimbo? Enjoy the site

I hated this when I tried my first bottle! 2 weeks later I thought it was ok. 2 months later it is one of the best kits I have made, a totally different pint to the first one. Make it, bottle or keg it and them forget it. You will be well rewarded.
