I've got a couple date stamped 1992 which I was still using until I started kegging. I think they must be better quality than the new ones as mine were in storage for around 25 years before I dusted them off when I started brewing again sometime after first lockdown and worked fine with no...

Was it in date ? I only ask as my LHBS has US-05 use by end of this month on clearance at the moment, as does Brew2bottle.

My first go at a Belgian single kegged a couple of weeks ago, fermented with Abbaye yeast. Extra pale Maris Otter with some Vienna, Tettnang to bitter with Styrian Goldings late boil and hopstand. Still a little hazey but nice biscuity malt and spicey fruitiness from the yeast.

Keep expecting this keg to kick but enjoying this Pilsener while it lasts Now got a few of these for the evening after another hard weeks work, finally a bit of sun today.

Marmite on toast with scrambled eggs.

Thanks ! It's a variation on a tried and trusted recipe, I think Verdant works really well in this style.

English IPA bittered with Admiral, later additions of Challenger and Goldings which I kegged a couple of months ago. A little hazey which I put down to forgetting to cold crash and the Verdant yeast. An enjoyable sup nevertheless with an orangey bitterness from the admiral.

You could try putting the recipe into brewfather, you can adjust the grain bill and hop additions/AA values to get the required ABV, IBU's and EBC etc. Also lots of other interesting information and you can vary batch size. 8.2 kg seems way over, I usually make 19L using around 5kg for similar...

After 3 months this Pilsener is in about perfect nick and of course keg is about to kick. I fermented this with Novalager cold and initially I thought it was a bit meh but has definitely improved with time. Pilsener, Vienna and Munich malt with Northern brewer to bitter and Saaz later in boil...

Avast ye landlubbers ! Settling sail for the bank holiday with a fine glass of Broadside.

Looks like Bisto ! 😄

Doh ! Yes you're right of course - I'm a little confused sometimes...

Pint of beer was less than half the price of a gallon of petrol, that would be around 70p in today's money. Also the 70's were a time of peak inflation so these were high prices at the time.

Northern Brewer & Cascade APA nearly finished, good thing as I need the keg for a Belgian single I have cold crashing at the moment. Fermented with US-05 but this recipe also works well as a Cali Common with MJ54 or similar.

The perimeter of your hearth stone will be supported by the floor joisting. The void underneath is either bricked in ( sat on frame of batten/boards ) or just filled with rubble/lime (straight on top of ceiling below ) which is why it sounds hollow. As said, leave as is - plenty of other...

No BB, Bucks born and bred. This was at the Kings Head in Oxford.

Well kept and very tasty afternoon pint of Youngs London original bitter.

Got my first attempt at a Belgian beer in the brew fridge at the moment, in the meantime this is an inspiration !
