Thanks for the review, it was great to hear people enjoyed it. Always pleased to get feedback. Just done another tonight this time an IPA :cheers:

Seems to becoming a regular occurrence and Friday night is always perfect for a brew. This time its an American IPA and I changed the recipe a bit and used a full 100g of Cascade hops. Boil hops and aroma.......so lets see how this gets on. Recipe: American IPA Brewer: Chris Style: American...

Sounds good! I'm brewing one tomorrow but with less Cascade ;) Havea good yin!

Same here, I was thinking of just chucking them in, only problem I can see would be loose hops being drawn out the tap, but then you would be better to use the tea thingy. What about dry hopping while fermenting???

Excellent pictures, looks a good one. I'm planning my next. But cant really decide what to brew.

I control it by changing the height of the beer belt on the bin. Seems to work very well for me.

Well it only worked out at around 1034. Dont mine that as I was going for a light beer. Hope it works out at 3.4% if possible.

Another started and finished ;) Went smoothly and this time its going to be a lower % brew. Mainly a session ale. Was fun, usual excellent smells and finished early ;) So here are the photos..... Cheers Chris

Fermented down to 1014 which works out to be around 4.2%, I'm happy with that. Bottled this batch last night and got around 43 bottles. Tasted it and I have to say it was really good. A lot darker than I thought it would be but an excellent coffee flavour. It cant really be classed as a...

Would be good to attend but have commitments on Wednesday nights. I managed to bottle my Cally 80 last night, seems its going to be a good one. Finished at 1014 which I was fine with, didnt want it too high in abv. Think it works out at 4.2 so actually thats quite good. Not had the chance to...

I go to Edina Home brew almost every week! ;) Davie is very helpful

Sounds a good one. Out of interest, where do you get your grains and hops from?

This was a good one! Started after work at around 6:30pm. Wanted to try a Caledonia 80 clone....lets see how this turns out. Boiled down a few runnings of the wort separately, just to see if it makes much of a difference. Thing is.... the house was smelling like Edinburgh..... I work in...

Same here, I have a veggie patch in my garden so it helps to add this.
