Those nice guys from the local brewery have called this week and installed the new beer dispense system. So now I have the old system in tact. Chiller, four kegs, lines and two fonts and drip trays all ready to go in the (person of none specific or fluid gender) cave. Before the old system was...

Hi Bud, welcome to the forum and happy brewing:cheers3:

Thanks for the tips folks. I normally only use starsan,for the spray and the HB sanitiser powder from the Range. but I'm off out to get some hardcore bleach type agent no and give everything a good scrub down, me includedathumb..

Hi It's an AG Mild ale, I pitched the yeast ( CML Ale ) on the 9th April so as of yesterday only 19 days in the FV. The OG was 1.038 and I was aiming for about 1.009, but when I took a reading after about 10 day it was at 1.014 so I let it go a little longer. The ambient temp has been around...

Just moved the lid on the FV to move to the barrel, and here we go again, 2nd on the trott that looks pear shaped. I've been brewing AG for a while now and never had a problem until the last brew got infected, and this one looks to have gone the same way...utterly gutted

That's a good idea for an outdoor brew house. not much use down here in windy Cornwall though, even my little pop up green house blew away the other dayasad.

Hi @RichardM thanks for the answer and the link. Could I ask, do you recommend LME over DME or visa versa?

As I've been really busy recently a full brew day is out of the question. So I'm thinking of doing the extract version of GHs Czech Pilsner. I already have the Saaz hop pellets and plenty of them. The recipe call for 6lb of dried extra light malt extract. I've been able to find some liquid...

Thanks. I will keep that in mind when I pitch for my next brew.

Just finished after a very long day. Four cans of Abbot ale chilling..before that a few tasters of the pale ales I make a in early feb.

The brew is (was) a simple single hop pale ale. 4500g MO and 350g Crystal. Boils was 60 mins. Mash temp was 65c for 60 mins. which gave me 24 ltrs with an OG of 1.044. I pitched 1 packet of CML ale yeast at around 20c, fermentation kicked off but after about 3 days stalled. I'm going to bin it...

Drain fodder?

Pale ale three week in and stuck at 1.024, added yeast nutrient and more yeast and a week later still at 1.24 with nasty looking white growth.. FUBAR me thinks!

Hey.. it's not true that I stumbled upon this forum while doing a Google search for a Nun's Delight...:roll:

After brewing enough AG beer to feed the south west in the last year I've just put on my first wine...ever!! It's a recipe for red grape and apple passed to me by @Chippy_Tea. I made it yesterday in quick smart time, and today it's bubbling away and the scent coming through the airlock is...

80 bottles ouch!

£100 in compo, that's not enough to cover the after game players bar tab...bit tight that Judge is by the sounds of it.

Might take a few months, but I'll post the results/thoughts after I've tasted the cider.

Hello and welcome from sunny and very windy Cornwall. Happy brewing.

Watched the videos and they are both really informative. Thanks again.
