:cheers: Hi all hope someone can help with this. I have the book Brewing Beers Like the ones you buy by the above, but found the language/recipes a little to old fashioned for me, so it went into the drawer for a few months. Recently I have been looking at some of the recipes and they appear...

:cheers: I thank you :drink:

:cheers: Thanks guys for the guidlines will add to my notes :thumb: However I would think that abv in the region of 9% would be wine strength :!: Sort of :drink: ps RIS???

:cheers: Hi all hope someone can help with this. I have 7 AG brews under my belt and have been following Graham Wheeler's book. In it he mentions amounts of time for keeping beer . What I want to know is what he would mean by strong beer? quote " The weakest beers will keep for a few months...

:cheers: Hi all hope you chaps/ess can help. I'm doing a Theakston OP clone and Taylor's recipe calls for "a few cones of (whatever ) hop". As I only have loose dried leaf for this purpose how much how much should I use, in grams please. I will be using a muslin bag to do the dry hoping...

:cheers: Great work Ade a really good How to. I have a minor suggestion ( if you don't mind). When a few WO have been made try using a champagne yeast instead of a GP one it makes quite a difference ;) Richard G :drink:

:cheers: Just a caution BigYin, once you cross over to the dark side you don't come back :drink:

:cheers: Hi bigyin. I have also just started and I used Barley Bottom for my first order although, sorry BB, I have found a supplier nearer to home (in Worcester) that is cheaper and looks just as good. However this was my list for my first 4 brews it cost £52.26 including £6.99 delivery...

:cheers: Hi all. On Thursday I did my first AG, Timothy Taylor Landlord bitter, the OG then was 1.044, checked twice @ 28*C, today when I checked it was down to 1.012 is this normal? I have had it happen with kits and would just like to confirm it is normal for AG. I used Safale so4 and the...

:cheers: Hi all hope you can help. In March I made a batch of Woodforde's Headcracker which I have laid down for Christmas. I am moving from kits to AG at the end of August and would like to make this ale but cannot find the recipe. It may be under a different name so would be graetful if...

:cheers: Hi griff. the stronger the beer the longer it can be left, as a rule of thumb if your OG is 1.040 then leave it a minimum of 4 weeks to mature if it is 1.030 then 3 weeks and so on. I started a Headcracker kit in March ,which I have been reliably informed, will take 9 months to...
