waytogo moley any more AG brewers like to try a 2 canner. Iam gonna give an AG a go i think....... yes definitely any body got a nice easy recipe for a 20L brew , something dark stouttish
No llannige i dont light a fire in back garden. I boil 2l water in kettle and rinse out cans into fv. Add rest of water room tempature works perfect you should try it sometime. anyway ive tasted quite a few AG brews and most are pretty good. not any better than some 2can kits. I see it as AG...
have brewed many kits brewferm and coopers are my favorites, but i brewed a muntons conkerwood 3kg kit. it knocked my socks off. i did not bother with these (expensive) kits until now, when you work it out there not bad value, i mean a single can kit for say £12 add beer enhancer £4.50 total...
i wonder how much energy it takes to brew 5 gallons. i mean with the price of electricity these days. it must be factored in to the overall cost of ag brewing, nobody seems to mention this.
I think the reason most people get into homebrew is because of the cost. we should not forget this. it is the most fundamental point in HOMEBREWING but i keep seeing AG brewing being pushed as the way forward. AG brewing is an expensive way to home brew, and i believe some kits are as good as...
on the verge of AG . but cost of equipment, buying grain etc, boiling for hours. is it really worth it. when you can get results like this for less than £20 just adding water and yeast.
just started downing my muntons conkerwood WOW fantastic, only 3kg kits for me from now. what a difference, fantastic malty flavor, retains tight foaming head right down to the bottom of the glass. highly recommended.
all bottles are now out in shed, noticed the bottles with sugar and the bottles with glucose are already perfectly clear. the others still have a slight cloudiness. must be the malt content.
Just bottled my coopers Australian lager and decided to experiment with secondary fermentation.
added 6g off sugar to 10 bottles, 6g glucose to 10 bottles, 6g light spray malt to 10 bottles and 6g of 50/50 glucose/spray malt to 10 bottles.
All bottles are identical 500ml brown glass crown caps...
can anyone recommend a quailty pressure barrel ive heard kingkeg toptap is the best but would be great full if anyone can give a bit of advice.
i would prefer to use a soda stream co2 injector.
just sampled my brewferm tarwebier bottled about 4 weeks ago. used 500g glucose 500g muntons wheat spraymalt .have to say fantastic. better than any commercial wheat beer ive tasted .not just me but friends agree .has any body tried this kit. highly recommended
