May rebrew my first AG recipe and add nuts and see how it compares to original. Still have a couple of bottles left.

Not sure how much flavour is from nuts but is realy tasty and smooth. May brew a small quantity again and split the wort,adding nuts to half and compare when finished.

Has been bottled two weeks. Tried one last nite realy nice and can only get better. Head was ok and lasted to bottom of glass so oil from nuts was ok. Will have to brew again with nuts as it is realy smooth and as good as if not better than a lot of pub milds. As clibit descibed it FABULOUS.

Think gas may be best.

Thanks for replies. Will use it then if I can get a propane gas ring or could I fit a element.

I take it that its not harmful.

Just purchased a nice big pot from local bootsale. Holds about 50 litres. Was going to use as a boiler. Only thing is that its ali with folded seams. Not sure what the metal is in seams,its not soft like lead. Have searched the net but cant find any info on seam constructed pots. Any thoughts on...

Have bottled tonite. Siphoned into bottling bucket,most of the oil has disappeared from when it first started to ferment. May have been eaten up by the yeast. Very tasty not sure how much flavour is the nuts but cant wait till its conditioned. Ended up at 4.6. May add various nuts to a few more...

Look up ESSEX FLANGE. You can poke pipe straight through.

May brew this at the weekend. Have spare grains/hops from my simco mild. Would simcoe hops at start of boil and finish with progress work. As I want to start using spare hops that I have. Or tettnang/saaz.

:drink:Just sampling my kit brews. These have all been in barrels for at least six weeks. Will be the last of kits as I am into AG brewing. Wherry. Wherry with challenger hops. Nog. St peters ruby red. All still ok and carbonated in barrels. And all very tasty. Have about 150 pints to get...

Will leave until its finished and then siphon into another FV. Fermentation is ok now with airlock bubbling quite regular. So the oil has not affected the yeast.

It has started to ferment slowly but there looks like a film of oil on top. Will siphon from under the oil into another FV. Hopefully I wont waste to much and it will be oil free. Dont know if yeast is affected by oil.

Use my old barby all the time to boil. Large pot wont boil on my electric cooker.

Brewed today with walnuts. Made a 15 litre brew that ended up at 12.5 litres OG 1.050 Used some of my own walnuts and added some that i purchased. Crushed and boiled 100 gms then drained off water roasted in oven and added to boil. When boiling there was a scum on top,not sure if it was oil from...

Thanks for the reply. I may crush them and boil in a small quantity of water. Then skim off the oil.

Was going to brew this mild. Any thoughts on adding a handfull of fresh wallnuts into the boil. As I quite like beers with a nutty flavour and I have a large wallnut tree at bottom of garden.

And a big thank you to CLIBIT For this post and converting me to AG.

Just bottled my first AG Brew. 24 Bottles for about six quid,dont think i will be brewing any more kits. Surprised how clear it has turned out. Tastes ok looking foward to sinking a few pints when it has conditioned.

So I can use a lager malt, hops and USO5 Yeast to brew the nearest thing to a lager. But better in winter when you can ferment at lower temps.
