Nothing surprises me anymore. I once made a gallon of wine out of Ribena naively thinking I would produce Red wine of course. In fact I produced 6 bottles of the nicest tasting White wine its been my pleasure to drink. Life`s strange sometimes.

Everything`s a surprise to me @Sadfield.

Yes but we had to knit our own hop bags whilst brewing!

Something else now confuses the life out of me. I was always lead to believe that yeast were little round fat beasty thingies that swam around in sugar solution eating any bit of sugar they came across which resulted in them weeing alcohol and pumping Co2. Now this is all well and good as its...

Well done on your brewing success. I must admit to not being a fan of those Hi Tech heating belts. Probably due to the fact that I haven`t got one. I`m more of a cock it, cock it and bodge it type person so I use a builders trug purchased at B&Q two for £8 and a 100w fish tank heater bought on...

What type of beer would you like a recipe for. Think commercial beers. Any commercial beer.

Having been out of the brewing game for a number of years.............more years than I care to remember I have returned to the fold. I`m not fully functional yet but at last I`ve found all my old recipes stored in the attic. I will post a few in the next few days and if it is of interest to...

As promised in another thread here starts my blow by blow account of my attempt to make a Festival New Zealand Pilsner under pressure. Given my limited knowledge of the Noble Art of Brewing it should be a long road of hit and miss occurrences. The up side of this is that in no way can I be held...

I will be starting this kit shortly and I intend to post a blow by blow account of everything I do with this brew. I will bare myself naked to the public! Kit content, times, SG, Temp, you know all the usual things and lets see how it progresses? What`s the worst that can happen? Remember...

The yeast packet in the kit just states "California Lager" whatever that is?

I didn`t know that when I bought them but as luck would have it I also bought a couple of packets of WHC Einstien yeast as well so that`s my plan so far.........mmmmmmm never actually had a plan before?

Just trying to get the hang of my pressure fermenters and bought two kits to try out the system. I bought the Festival New Zealand Pilsner and the Beerworks Lager. Now before buying the kits I did a little research on fermenting lager, well I say a little research meaning I`ve watched that many...

Ha Ha.......... my second ispindle has arrived...... Its on test and reading as accurately as the first one but perhaps its just me but I dont trust it not to leak like the first one did. I did have an Hydrom which I must admit although it very rarely worked...... IT DIDNT LEAK AND STOP...

Life is really strange sometimes and after several glasses of IPA last night I suddenly wondered how the hell we managed as humans to get so far? I`ve watched Robin Hood and Fryer Tuck was well known for his brewing and drinking capabilities. Now what I want to know is where in the hell did...

Oh yea of little faith. The zombie ispindle has passed on completely now with the last transmission 6hrs ago. Its still floating? and doing whatever its doing and I am contemplating doing an autopsy on the beast when I fish it out of my FV. I may however go rogue and throw my new bright pink...

So I am the only person in the world that owns a zombie ispindle. mmmmmmmm........... do zombies drink beer?

I prefer to think I am the only person who owns a zombie ispindle aheadbutt aheadbutt aheadbutt

R.I.P. ispindle. It is with deep regret that I have to tell you my ispindle passed away during the night. SG now reads 0.941 and Temp reads -0.6. The weirdest thing is its still transmitting? Is it really dead?, Could it be a Zombie ispindle? I must keep an eye on my brew level from now...

Now your in trouble gingerneil, I`ve just ordered two of them from you! Please could I have a Bright Pink one and a purple one with blue dots on?
