I have obviously neglected to add the full grain bill !!!!! finishing off a big kenny and its turned a little kenny!!!!!!!! I have finished boil, cooled down a small amount to test OG, and its way WAY off at 1030, rather than the 1050(ish) it should be! What should i do? what would happen if...

been playing around with some labels, quite therapeutic using vector graphic software Heres what I have so far, first idea ripped from the internet, hope to be more inventive with experience. I quite liek the cider one and

Decoction mashing was a bit of a mystery to me not knowing why or how to do it. But after some research about brewing up a witbier and whats needed to mash unmalted grain, such as wheat, i came across these youtube videos decoction vid I found them both entertaining and educational and on...

Well, what a great beer, still a bit young at two weeks, but wow, I have surprised myself, even surpassed all expectations. I dont have a cooler but this would be amazing cool. I recommend this brew for anyone who doesnt have the ability to lager their lager

Hi all, being eyeing up a kolsch for ages. Like the profile descriptions and was interested in an ale thats a lager! Getting much better at the whole process, its all running much smoother and cutting the time down significantly. Still not hitting the the target brew length, which is doing...

HI Depends on what i'm drinking but mostly like to drink 330 glasses for largers, kolsch and pint tankarks for ale/bitter. This website cover nearly all of them. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/101/glassware I remember there used to bar in bristol callled Belgo's, sold hundreds of beers and all...

:thumb: for the Coopers european lager kit, was very tast. Recommends maturing for 12 weeks, i managed 10 and it was very good, deep yellow straw colour, secondary fermented for two weeks, looked like it was filtered, tasted like larger. I forced carbonated with corny keg and was delighted by...

Hi, I have srtarted using beersmith and playing around with the functions, nice bit of kit. I have made a few recipies, just with the profile summary for each beer and then cross referencing to the grains and hops profiles, dont know how off or on I am so feedback would be good. The're all...

I started using them thinking they would be a cheap option, but dont recommend them, when you liftf them they suck in air as they're not ridgid which isnt good. Brought a few glass after

Didnt realise you were opening a shop, good to hear you want to know what it is you sell. My brew shop is a bit "errr sorry i dont know i brew wine" I dont know what you know about beer or how its made. Its good to know what beer actualy is and how to exactly explain it in a short summary...

the only flaw i can see is wasting time on the kit and extract when you can go AG ;) spend time working out how to increase efficiency and brewing more AG I've only done 4 all grain brews but will not ever go back, not on your nelly, not even to see how they compare. I brewed kits for 10yrs...

I use a 30l perry urn and its great, although predictably i want to go bigger. its has a variable thermostat up to 106c which is good, does a 20l brew at ease. the taps are a pain, the hole is flat on two sides, like a rectangle oval if you know what i mean, so exchanging for ball valve needs...

I got two alltoments, one large at 25m x 25m and a medium at 8m x 25m, both are massive if you tackle/see them as a whole, but as soon as you start planning and putting things together, very quickly you NEED more!!!! Just in case you didnt know, Blueberrys are lime loving plants so wont go...

Had a sneaky pint of the brew yesterday, very nice, although a tad 'oaty' if you know what i mean. had a mean head on it though. I'm gona get some roasted barley, bet it would add more depth to the beer. but very nice and can see it improving with age. a pleasant mistake

I dont have much experience or expertise, but if you turn the pipe so the holes were pointing down rather than up, it would be a better filter, further more it would have a suction effect reducing losses looking good

quality, nice work, leads the way to custom fermenter's too. like your style
