Well, if it's any help (and I doubt it is), I had a couple of bottles of Innis & Gunn last night, bloody lovely stuff! So :thumb: to your idea! It's just sad that I have no experience at all to help you with any practical aspect of this! Fuller's also do a beer called "Brewer's reserve", the...

Happy Birthday mate! :cheers: Have a great one! :)

One in Harrow, "The moon on the Hill" I've only been there a fortnight- great people there, and a nice place to work- I just always end up with shifts on Friday and Saturday nights pretty much exclusively at the moment! Sigh... Oh well! Still, with different beers on every day, I can always...

Looks awesome! I was lucky enough to have a Schwarz at the GBBF last year, all I can say is wow! Over here, I've occasionally seen Budvar dark lager in the shops... bought 2 bottle about a year and a half ago. Drank one, the other is still in the fridge, which shows what I thought of it! An...

I feel your pain. Spending my Friday's pouring F**ter's tops, and Stella and lime... Urgh... Besides, I work in Wetherspoons! We sell some really good beer! Cheaper than the really bad stuff! ARGHHHH!!!

Or, buy a bottle of cheap brandy (doesn't need to be good for this recipe, the cherries do the flavouring), get about 10 or so cherries for a 700ml bottle, stab them a bit, then chuck them in the brandy (minus stalks, without stones) and macerate the stuff for about 3-6 at least, a year as...

Thanks for all the words of wisdom! I've whacked up my intended plans in the Brew Day forum, so that hopefully you'll be able to stop me doing anything stupid :) I'll then probably mess something up when I do it anyways, photograph the ensuing maelstrom of wort and swear words, and have a laugh...

Hey Pez! I'm also new, North-West London as well! I hope the kit turns out well, I'm attempting to just do an extract IPA style brew! Hopefully we'll both have something drinkable by the end :) Pete

Hey mate! Nice to see you on the forums, hope everythings alright! Greetings, Pete :cheers:

Hey all, Thought I'd wallop up the intended recipe for my first brew, adapted from the "Way to Amarillo IPA" recipe from the BrewUK shop website. I'm basically sticking to it, except instead of Amarillo hops I'm bunging in East Kent Goldings, and as I'll have half a packet left over, I'm...

Excellent! Thank you, just what I was looking for! Now, I just need to wait a few weeks for the flowers to bloom! Then I'll do a bit of cross referencing, compare what I've got with what I know, and at least get an estimate of what they are! Cheers Samarith! :)

I'll have to hang my rubber breast bbq apron it as well for a laugh! May as well end up calling the beer "wet t-shirt" at this rate :P Now, to buy a £2.33 3 ring paddling pool from Argos to contain the water, steal an old shirt, and then I'll be pretty sorted :)

Hey all, Just an odd one I've been pondering about, this is! I've got a hop vine or two which grow down the bottom of my garden, seemingly wild, which I first really took a look at last year. They are really nice looking vines, and when they flower, produce massive cones... and masses of them...

Wow, this looks ace! I'm a massive fan of some of the stronger Belgian ales, am really watching this to see how it turns out! :)

Cheers guys, and thanks for the advice! I hadn't thought about the black bin approach, hopefully if I wallop my fermenting vessel in one for the first few days until things die down, I'll be ok! Also, how well will the yeast cope with moderate temperature changes? I was thinking of bunging the...

Hey everyone! Cheers guys for the welcome! Perusing the forum everything looks really good! I'm sure AG is the best way to go in the long run, but for my first attempt at a brew, I'll try and keep things simple :) I can't wait to just get going, have a go at something new, wallop up a few picks...

Hey, Apologies if this has been asked before, or if it is just a ridiculous question! I'm in London, it's summer and I want to attempt my first brew. The problem is, however, all of my reading speaks about keeping the temperature of my brew in the 18-24 degrees C range, which I'm worried isn't...

Haha! Cheers for the welcome (and grammatical correction!)! :cheers: Drinking habits of my generation are a long and complex topic; I can well believe many do come to the forum looking for a cheap way to get wrecked drinking complete urine. I work in one bar and run another during University...

Hey, I'm new around here and hopefully heading up on the Wednesday, if anyone's around who perhaps wouldn't mind a chit-chat? I'll probably have had my first brew day by then and will be full of thicko's questions and queries ahead of bottling and what not! Pete
