Ha ha, lazy.. Me.. :whistle: Just what i was after. thanks for the link, and the article! I've got a garage full of "pelforth brun" flip top bottles i've kept and am about to use to bottle my first brew in a couple of days. On another note... now this has been answered and doesn't have much...

Hi all, i know from what i'v read some people are against bleach for sanitization but for those that are for how strong would you mix it. ML PER L for eg? Thanks

Thanks oldjiver, i had a look at yours then had a think and hunted through some french kitchen sites. Found one for 17€ ! The hopper is a bit small but i'll bodge something on to it.. http://www.mathon.fr/cat-ustensiles/mou ... 43304.aspx I'm quite partial to the calvados myself, funnily...

Dont you worry TRXnMe, pictures will come. I've got a bit of a workload on so brew day probably wont be until next weekend. I live in Bavent in Calvados, just up from the landing beaches and next door to the first town liberated during WWII. Its all cider round here, not my favorite drink...

Oh, sorry forgot to ask. Can anybody provide the name of our roof top malter???

Marvelous, found some gold info thanks for the pointers. I will eventually invest in specialist equipments but really want to get hands on to start with. Any way, i now have enough info to play with. To succeed? Well thats something to find out. I'm taking my son to the farm tomorrow where...

Hi all, looking for a pointer.. Real basics for AG. Where i am its hard (apart from internet orders) to get what i need. However i know where some hops are growing and i'm going to take a cutting of these to grow in my garden next year. Now on to the malt... Nothing near me :( but i have...

Im going to be disgustingly honest, im sat here with my ipad using the WiFi while on the loo (love modern Technology) Mrs Wife has just asked "why on earth are you clapping on the toilet?!?!" Great job!

Its intersting as both my buckets came without airlock holes, and obviosly my home made 10L bucket had no hole either. I'll give it a go with one of them. For yeterdays (my first brew) i made the hole bu finding a metal washer slightly larger than the narrow end of the bung, dropping it in my...

Ha, and i pictured little yeast cells with watches on :lol: "we have a deadline boys!" What i did have in mind though was a one packet of yeast going in to 10L would eat its available "sugar" in less time than a packet going in to 23L of the same density. But giving it more thought now there...

Would that be the same then dispite the quantity? Forget times and go by the hydrometer . Thanks fir the info :cheers:

Hello everyone Those that have read my posts recently will know im very new to this. I finally managed my first brewday yesterday (sorry no photos) and all went well (i guess, not having a basis of comparison) I didnt have enough ingredients to make a 23l batch but i had laying around a pet...

Glad he liked it! Im new to this hobby (new to the brewing, but not the drinking!) and am about to do my first brew. An IPA of sorts. I noticed you didnt have an airlock on you FV. im about to set up and i have an airlock but my lid has no hole, i was going to cut one but seeing yours im...

Niw thats just scary, i clicked on your link DieselJockey and it took me to the page i was already reading... Looking for an extract ipa! I faintly hear the twilight zone theme Thanks for youe help everyone!

Great stuff I have just found some ok looking recipes, i'l whittle them down and with any luck get a batch on tomorrow. Hopfully the one i choose will give me a good starting point to build on. First batch, exciting times!

Thanks ScottM, thats what i tried looking at but the recipes i found called for adding other grains. All i have for this first brew is the ingredients i listed above. I love the look of some of these recipes and the AG looks very interesting but i'd like to do something very simple first and...

Hello everyone I wish i had known about this site before i bought my equipment, then i might have bought the right things! I've been reading through all over the place but cant quite find what i need. Here is my dilemma, i have all the kit i need for now but instead of being sensible and bying...

Thats what i mean andy, settling/clearing stage (i will eventualy get to grips with the terminology) As of yet cwiseman i don't have a little bottler, bit your absolutely right, i hadn't thought about the splashing. I'll have a look for one, i should find one before i get to bottling stage. Is...
