:cheers: Hi all just been looking at the link above, as a complete idiot about such things, how is it used in HB, is it easy to use and how would I set it up? Regards Richard G :drink:

:cheers: Of course that's the answer and after making 37 AG brews I still need a recipe to try first :hmm: :drink:

:cheers: Thanks guys seems I don't need them, however what about the Hob Goblin AG clone :drink:

:cheers: Hi all need a little help. My eldest bought me a new book for fathers day entitled clone brews. It's an American book but as the volumes are 5 galls USA they equate to 19 litres which is the amount I make. But I am stumped by the following ingredients, what are they for, do I need...

:cheers: Think I will have to make a new mash tun, from a better cool box found nothing on t net. Thanks for the replies :drink:

:cheers: Hi all been a while since I asked a question but hope someone can help. I'm into my 3rd year of AG brewing using the bog standard home made mashing tun. However I would like to move up a gear and make a mash tun that will keep the mash at correct temp. and to try overnight mashing...

:cheers: Have now started another 2 day brew will keep you all posted :drink:

:cheers: Sorry A E I think you may have missed the point, the brew has already been mashed and sparged on the first day, the brew is then boiled, cooled and fermented on the second day. I do the first part ie mash/sparge in the afternoon, and the second part the next morning, the longest time...

:cheers: Hi all. On June 30th last year I posted this question as to whether it is easier/benificial to brew AG over 2 days. I had some very good advice of this forum. Having looked at other posts, I noticed that some brewers who had no means of cooling the brew after boiling left it overnight...

:cheers: Hi all. I have been AG brewing for almost 18 months now, thanks Moley, and would like to ask about the cost if I used propane. At the moment I am using 'lecky which works out to between £1.30-£1.50 per brew. How many brews can you get from a cylinder of gas? Don't matter what...

:cheers: Update. The experiment went OK, the wort looked and smelled the same this morning, no nasties or anything. More time to sort out the " I know your busy but could you just " from SWMBO, sons and grandsons. Downside was the fact that I had to boil from cold instead of the normal 70ºc...

:cheers: Well guys I said I would comeback on this, so far have mashed and sparged today collecting enough for 19 litres of Old Speckled Hen clone. I have left it in an FV with a junior airlock, using my wine saver bung and pump. The lid is the snap tight type. Pic. This was at 1pm and at 8...

:cheers: I have only been AG brewing for about 10 months. (Thanks Moley) I don't know what you are doing but I have made different brews, ie Old Speckled Hen, Guiness, Old Tom, Witches Brew, Timothy Taylor brews, and a few others. My favourite is Sarah Hughes mild and Batemans Victory bitter...

:cheers: Just had a thought I have one of the Bruheat boilers. The lid has a small vent hole in the top What I was thinking is with the wort almost to the top of the boiler, and, if I can get a junior air lock in the vent hole, I could probobly use my vac-u-vin to draw out most of the air. (I...

:cheers: Sorry guys should have said I only use those small Co2 bulbs, and I don't really want to do an overnight mash, although if I could split the brewing between 2 days I would certainly let it mash more than the recommended 90 mins :drink: Regards Richard G

:cheers: Thanks for the replys guys. I will try it on my next brew, but I have no way of using Co2 on my FVs. I always clean and sterilise all my equipment :whistle: before and after use, but having to transfer to a barrel with Co2 just for 24, or less hours, seems a waste of money and time...

:cheers: Hi all I have a question for you. I am on my 15th AG brew but time is getting tight. I would like to ask, is it OK to do the brews over two days, i e mash and sparge one day, collect the required amount of wort, leave in the FV under an airlock, and then boil the next day. I hope...

:cheers: Hi all. Quick question, I have made a batch of Robinson's Old Tom with an ABV of about 8% (not finished yet) I will be putting this into a barrel for a couple of weeks, but when I come to bottle would it be OK/benificial to prime using natural molasses sugar instead of brewing sugar...

:cheers: Hi all. First of all if I have posted this in the wrong place then I appologise. I have the following left from my last bulk buying order, and I hope someone can come up with a nice ale. Please 19 ltrs only. Pale Malt 2.884 Black Malt 891 Crystal Malt 970...
