Oops, that of Good Ed not dennisking, though I'm sure dennis brews an equivalent. I'm back in the UK next week and intend visiting the brewery of Sarah Hughes in Sedgeley, about half an hour from me, to see how good the real thing actually is.

Dr Mike I think this particular batch of crystal was from Worcester Hop Shop where it is described as 145 EBC. But the colour of mine is nothing like that of dennisking's. That looks a lovely pint, and probably what I was expecting. The bottom line I think is that the taste is most important...

Hi PD Thanks for that. Would the roast barley impart a different flavour? I am genuinely happy with the flavour as it is, but the colour confused me. I see also that I am comparing apples with pears. GW report the colour in EBC whereas BrewMate deals in SRM. Maybe substituting a dark crystal for...

I wonder if anyone can help. I am working my way through Graham Wheelers book and have made eighteen brews since my first tentative steps three months ago, some with more success than others. About a month ago I made Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby mild, and last night I sampled it, just for quality...

Thank you for that rpt. I never did well with physics.

I made my first AG brew yesterday. What a mess. Four kilos of barley is a lot to dispose of, and hops, they get everywhere don't they. Particularly if your boiler isn't big enough. I also discovered the difference between a 'rolling boil' and boiling to death. I had to separate my wort into two...

Thanks Taxidriver Here's one. When I was looking up Biab there was a description of how it's done on the forum. When reading through, there was a comment that a refractometer was essential for making beer. Is that the case? Somewhere else on the forum someone had questioned the manufacturer of...

Hi PD That's how green I am. I just had to look up Biab. I acquired a huge coolbox in exchange to a bottle of Jack Daniels, I'm hoping my Burco will manage the boiling and I have bought five barrels on ebay to supplement the one which already has a brew in it.

Morning all As a Newbie, inevitably I am going to be much more of a 'taker' than a 'giver' on this forum, and there appears to be a huge amount of knowledge here from which I can dip into. In the past I have made brews from cans, with mixed results, but now, with more time on my hands I want to...
