    UKSkydiver's Brewdays

    I did / have. I pretty much started my first couple of years at Hinton (in fact I popped in there yesterday morning) Then a few more years at Weston. Most recently been jumping at Langar, Notts.

    UKSkydiver's Brewdays

    And a bit like waiting for bus - two come at once. So having kegged my kit, I also brewed my next AG brew Me and my neighbour both love Belgian brews, so he said he'd like to help me with a Leffe Blonde. Except he slept in and I was pretty much done by the time he came around! Never mind...

    UKSkydiver's Brewdays

    Right quick update I've not been brewing for a while as I have been hurtling myself towards a great lump of rock whilst the weather has been nice. To get something on, I thought I'd try a kit brew, so I got a Tom Caxton's Best Bitter from Wilko. I brewed short because I only had a 15l FV. I...

    Love Brewing New Kit Giveaway!

    I doubt anyone will read this, but there are people making the same mistake I did, probably as a result of the private message we (all?) received- and I only found out my error when I read the first post of this thread. The offer is only for one of the six new kits - not one from the whole kit...

    How many litres of home brew have you made 2022.

    For a change, and to get something on, I brewed a Tom Caxton Best Bitter kit from Wilko. Because of the high temps, I used a packet of Lall Voss which was an interesting experience, just glad I used a blow off tube. Anyway, I expect this to be in the 16 litre ball park as I will be liquoring...

    Airfryer? Seems all the rage at the moment.

    Culturing Proper Job Yeast.

    Pretty sure you'll need to release that, so unscrew the cap a quarter turn so that the CO2 can escape. And whilst I'm here, some articles on the Shaken Not Stirred method for your delectation , which for no other reason than logic, if not science based proof, make sense to me...

    Yeast Recommendations for Leffe clone

    @Cheshire Cat How does the CML Monk compare to the CML Nun for the Leffe clone? Cheers. Edit: To put it another way.... I have Monk in stock and if that was better I will use that. Failing that, I am putting an order together with GEB - and I could get a T-58 if Monk was not favourite...

    Watering down beer

    *Thread Resurrection Alert* I would like to liquor back after fermentation For a change, I have brewed a kit. It's Tom Caxtons Best Bitter. It says to make up to 23 or 20 litres (40/36 pints) I only have a 15 litre fermenting vessel - so I have topped up the water to ~14 litres. OG is...

    W34/70 stuck fermentation?

    Green is battery voltage: The charts is a feature of Brewfather. This is a brewing app. Loads of info about that. The data for the chart comes from an iSpindel. This is a floating hydrometer that sits in the wort whilst it is fermenting and sends info to Brewfather as to the angle it is...

    Going back to kits?

    I did some searching and found this article. It seems that given some thought, you can liquor back after fermentation. https://www.morebeer.com/articles/brewing_high_gravity_beers

    Going back to kits?

    I haven't brewed (I do AG brews) for a few months - time pressures, so this thread piqued my interest. I'm looking to brew a kit short so that I can put in a 19L corny I have a few questions 1. I do not like hoppy ales, and I understand that brewing a short may increase the bitterness. I...

    Mobile phones

    Nortel M900 on One2one, back in 1996-97 I later 'upgraded' to Nokia 5110 and then 6110 and I definitely had a 6210 probably used any number of Nokias until I got an iPhone 4 in about 2007

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    I'm at a drop zone in North Carolina. This is the one I chose. Red Oak (Whitsett, NC wherever that is) Munich Helles 4.5% Refreshing and a little sweet (malty I guess) low hop bitterness. Lovely after a days jumping in 30c heat.

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    I know some of you liken Abbot to macro lagers, and that's fair enough. As a former macro lager drinker, I actually quite like Abbot. Maybe it's like a stepping stone beer to real beer. Anyway, I thought I'd try the Abbot Reserve. It's even better than the standard Abbot. Rich and fruity...

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    The first tonight is a Sorachi Ace Saison. A bottle swap with @jceg316 Pretty sure I've had one of these from another forum member and this is very similar. No disrespect intended, just saying it seems to be right for the style. I'll stop digging now. Anyway, it's lovely and refreshing.

    Shared these with the neighbours last night. Very nice. The Piraat at 10% was my fave.
