Hullo and happy brewing... it's bloody great, you may get a little ****** though... somehow since I started I have managed to forget loads of things... I cannot work out the link!! ;) :drink:

just looking again at that pic.. one of your sheds... it looks pretty well set up in there.... I am still on the kitchen cabinet (and the dog house variably)

going well indeed I say, 4 brews all ticking along.. Fine work that man!!

I don't know much about AG stuff but as I understand a good lager is apparently quite difficult to do and it has to be chilled during the brew, I am guessing (and somebody will doubtless confirm or deny) that the lagering bit is where it gets brought down in temp to arrest the fermentation for a...

Just put my first batch of TC on 3l of S***sbury (all supermarkets are poo) apple juice in to start with 2l for top up 100g of sugar 1tsp yeast (youngs wine yeast) 1tsp Nutrient. 1 cup strong tea thought it had to be worth a try, not bothered with hydro, just thought see what it does...

I was hoping for a euphemism!!

'Slightly cost sensitive' I love that, Personally I am a right tight **** which is why I started brewing in the first place. Good luck with the recipe, kit guy here too so no idea's, sounds pretty cool though.

Hullo and happy brewing, it's all good!!

nettle beer, nice start there fella. I have intentions towards nettle beer and I have a bizarre hankering to making carrot beer.... I have no idea why. I was 'almost' warned that nettle beer can be a little trippy from a good pal of mine who made it as a student. Very interested to hear how...

Well it looks pretty entertaining, soon find out... when I have a minute to watch anything other than boardwalk empire... Which rocks!!!!

Good luck fella, my first cerveza kit is bubbling like a bugger downstairs, crazy bubbling going on !!

bit late replying to this one but as I recall the temp dials aren't always perfect on the heater, you may have to put it up a couple of notches to get the right temp in the FV. as long as your thermometer is working properly trust that as your guide..

looks like some serious brewing shenanigans going on there.... I open a can and chuck it in the fermenter?!?!? impressive stuff there fella

After the conversation the next beer I came to last night in the cupboard under the stairs was a clear one... it looked and tasted rather lush although I was up at 5 this morning..... odd!!

Bit of a random and a little late too, but I was a keen movemberite last year, and I will be glad to be part of the team this year...

Then goodo I say, Quite hard to tell with the monikers we all have, you could be forgiven (hopefully) for never guessing.

that's a very good point, I forgot about that. may keep a couple after all!

hey there The wines are ok, I have done a couple of kits and they have all been alright. nothing spectacular yet but eminently drinkable. need more time than beer for them though, much better getting the conditioning going on... Good luck loppy let us know how it goes!!

Bless you moley, that is some proper encouragement. Good work that Man I say. good luck to bess too, Which I shall relay in person when I see her (possibly the only lady on here?) wish her well from all of us I would have thought!

I can only comment on doing lagers with tins being unable to devote enough time to become an AG man. I can say with confidence that even the single tin lagers are pretty damn good and very easy. I am starting to supplement using spray malt to add body but to my mind and (perhaps...
