Hey all I’m really enjoying making a few videos along the way of the brewing process. While I realise there are loads out there on YouTube when I first started out I couldn’t always find a guide for what I was looking for and especially using kit commonly found in the UK. I’ve posted a couple...

I started a batch yesterday too (YouTube video to follow!). 5l of gorse flowers (if you get them in full bloom you can collect this in about 15-20 mins), 500g currants/raisins/sultanas, zest and juice of 2 lemons, half a cup of strong tea, about 1.3kg sugar (to hit around 1.09 OG) and some...

I’m not quite an old fart yet but did rig up a small pulley system (saw it on YouTube) which makes lifting out the malt pipe a breeze. Have a look on YouTube (I’m sure you can see it on one of my vids - search brewbru). I’ve got the robobrew/brewzilla and love it but like someone else mentioned...

I’ve got an SS brewtech chronical (5gal) and love it. Several reasons. It’s stainless so much less risk of infection. I can harvest yeast easily so can get several batches of beer from one liquid yeast (if you are only using dry yeast less of an issue). Less trub transfers when you transfer to...

Sweet! Count me in.

Yo! Count me in!!

Just to let you know I’ve vented a couple of times and getting almost a perfect pint now! Thank you 👍🏻😀

Thanks both - I vented the keg the other day but hadn’t thought about re-venting, will do that today. Also good idea re the extra length of tubing @Hopsteep 👍🏻

Hey all my budding beer brewing brilliant buddies So, I made my first AG lager a few months ago, left in fridge for around 3 months to properly lager then took it out to connect up to my taps in the garage. Everything was great but not quite as carbwd as I like so I cranked the psi up to about...

I’ve ordered up a gervin number 9 and some generic wine yeast - just waiting for them to be delivered now 😀

That's fine if you live in the part of the UK which is most populated. Live anywhere remote (like the Scottish Highlands) and the vast majority of couriers charge extra - sometimes ridiculous amounts - to post to the far reaches of the UK. Royal Mail and Parcelforce do not, so for those of us...

Latest instalment in my road to YouTube stardom :) A short vid showing one way (another will follow in a few weeks) of doing a pressurised transfer between the SS Brewtech Chronical and a Corny Keg. Enjoy!

Thanks both - I'll have a look at both - appreciated :)

Hey there fellow brew peeps So I’ve been back brewing beer for a few years now. I used to do wine kits years ago (maybe 20!). Got some rhubarb in the garden and fancied giving a rhubarb wine a go. I’ve seen the thread with recipes but wondered about recommended yeast? Is there like an S-05...

Hey @Pennine, I'd love those air fittings/spare taps if they are still going spare? Only issue (and no probs if this is too much of a PITA for you) is I'm up in the far north of Scotland, so would need them posted. Obviously more than happy to both cross your palm with silver for the postage...

Thanks @Session - really appreciate that! I know they are quite long, but glad you enjoyed it :)

Made a chocolate stout a couple of weeks ago, just came out the fermenter at the weekend and added some lactose to it. Got another brew on the go as well - a Punk IPA clone (basically the brewdog recipe they publish). Came out delicious last time and ran out pretty quick so decided to get some...

Don't normally drink midweek but had a catch up on Zoom with some mates so opened a couple of bottles of a Kolsch I made about 6 months ago. Wasn't particularly enjoying it originally, so threw in a bag of frozen blueberries and left for a month or so. Added a lovely fruity taste to it and very...

I ordered on 5th - so not quite as bad as @Jonnymac with 22 days, but agree it's pretty disappointing that no comms have been sent - their website does say allow a week after all. Not that difficult to (a) update the homepage or (b) send an email to customers with orders to let them know. Not...

Episode 2 is now out and features a Chocolate Stout. Tune in if you like (and have 37 mins free lol!)
