I used rowntrees cocoa for baking ;)

In my latest cocoa Loca stout I added 100g if cocoa powder to the last 15mins of the boil. It's turned out amazing! No powdery taste and the chocolate is not too sweet or overpowering

Give this a little longer, ideally it should finish at 999 or less. Think the packet says its ready in 5 days(I think), but that's more than likely in a fermentation fridge.

Braver man than me, but I guess if we never try these things, we will never know ;)

Welcome to the forum fellow Yorkshire Man

This could well be a record, what intervals were the hops added?

I do just this.freezer bags with the press tops, remove excess air in the bag and freeze

In have done this in the past to the instructions on the tin. To be honest I was not impressed, even ages it a year and it didn't improve. I spent a month in Australia a few years back and I loved drinking tooheys products, sadly the kits are not a patch on the real thing. All I can suggest...

Thanks to all the lads that took part in the bottle swap & competition. The competition has nine entries and Chris should have sampled all the bottles by next Saturday! I will personally ring him and post the results on here. Good luck lads! To the lads that left bottles, I tried to exchange...

One last bump! This is on tomorrow guys! Looking forward to it :)

My sherry was a cracking brew after 6-7 months, so give it a bit of time. There is no reason my you couldn't dry hop it at this stage :)

Well done tony

It's an adaption of the Black Sheep riggwelter, but more hops and a lower abv, slightly different grain bill! I designed the brewing space about 3 months ago, just to make the brew day a little easier :)

Just a few brew day photos

Ive not tried the flaked wheat, but when I use up the Torrified wheat I have left, I will give it ago :thumb: First time I have used this yeast, and it seems a little slow to get going to be honest. Which is unlike the other Mangrove yeast I have tired.

That does sound interesting. I have quite a few bottles to bring along :thumb:

Not long to the bottle swap now folks :)
