Hi everybody Id love a quick answer for the time being but also a link to other discussions people may be aware of that might go in to more detail. Heres the story so far... Generaly i do my little "biab" in 4 to 8 liter batches. This weekend though i got adventurous and did a 23l (it took 3...

Fair point johnboy though a little synical and pragmatic imho but each to their own. The same could be said for making beer all together, why bother? Lots of supermarkets sell it for next to notheing. The money and energy involved in setting up and learning about the kit, times, temps. Just...

I was starting to think my wife was being a pain. Since i started this little malt adventure i've turned out around 25kg. All oven dried so, now iv worked out a system, i can process batches of 3kg a time. I think the smell is lovely, Mrs Wife disagrees. I have to bang on the incense before she...

Hi all For those of you that malt at home, what does your finished base malt smell like? The first batch i made had a really nice, strong sweet smell. This batch i have done does not smell sweet at all, it just smells of grain. With a hint of nut. I'm quite sure it was correctly modified...

Hi all I have quite a small pot to work with, its only 10L max capacity. Uts done me ok do far as i have been using demijohns as fvs. This week i'd like to do a bigger brew so heres my thought, brew/ mash 3 cosecutive worts, pouring thm all in to the same fv. Ok its going to tke all day but...

Ok, giving up on the screw top bottles. Still investing in a bench capper though. I found a beer here that has a 25s with a "normal" captop so thats what im drinking at the moment Thanks for the input :thumb:

Worth investing then! Im notmin the UK, here in france nearly all little 25cl bottles are screw top. A rite pain the "fesse"

I dont have a capper at all yet, but now when i order it i know which one to go for :thumb:

Evening all After a little weekend gathering i have a box load of those little beer bottles with the twist off caps. Has anynone capped them with a normal capper? Would it work? Im not fussed if the new caps would twist off or not, is just reliably putting them on im intersted in. Merci

P.S, the iPads infamous auto correct does not highlight my spelling mistakes on this forum. Please excuse the odd (ok, rther frequebt gaff) <- that ones intentional

Evening all Im currently up to my A**E in grain going through all sorts of home malting guides i have found online (my job gives my lots of "home time", so i can play!) im starring now at 5 buckets, all together adding up to 15kg of pail (ish) malt made in 3kg batches following different...

There is lots of information all over. But lots of conflicting too. I'm hoping to find an endorsed book maybe even by a known maltster ot malt house. I'll keep hunting Thanks

Hello everyone I'v been toying with home malting lately and have been going by diffent internet sorces, some conflicting. Can any one recomend any reading material for making malts at home. A book that sugests drying/roasting times and tempertures. Thank you

I see, sorry. The shipping for the item was 15,77€, very cheep considering it was for shipping a 2 roller mill with hopper and base! But still, 4 weeks was too long to wait for me. In that time i might have come to my senses and realised that spending that much money on was crazy! Any how i...

Yes, all in all, plus postage 180.76€ Good price but too long to wait :(

They replied and they can ship to France! Sadly they're out stock and wont have it in for 4 weeks. Im going to go with either the "monster mill" 3 roller or the "Crankandstine 3D" as suggested buy vossy. Im going with the standard rollers to see how long they last, if they need replacing one...

Vielen Dank Das ist sehr nett von Ihnen. Ich habe eine e-Mail geschickt. I hope they post to France. Thanks again :cheers:

Granted, most Europeans speak English and hopefully they'll reply in English. Still its good manners to try, especially since I'm asking them to do something. Ich hoffe, ich bekomme es nah genug. Vossy's link is my next choice, but shipping fom he US is pricy.

I'd love to, but my German is terrible! I'll try though

Thanks or the info! I had a look on the site (my German is very rusty!) and found the Barley crusher much cheeper than getting it sent from the USA, however it doesn't appear to have an international shipping option, just Germany and Austria.
