Thanks Mmm I only had time to go to Dunelm or the next nearest branch of Asda. As Dunelm cogent show their larger pot as in stock, and the smaller one being a bit too small for comfort, I went to Asda. There, I picked up the last of the pot you mention. It's not bad but the glass lid is a bit...

A few still available from TMM https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product-category/ingredients/recipes/extract-kits/?v=79cba1185463 About half way down, including Extra Strong Bitter

According to my contacts in the credit industry, they've submitted last year's accounts and there are no adverse warnings indicating they are a bad credit risk. If they had gone bust there would he warnings, unless of course they have gone bust and the warnings haven't trickled down. Companies...

But that prompts another question. Doesn't the spray malt affect the flavour. Or LME come to that?

Yep jof, the dreaded boil over. I've heard of it and it's on the verge of giving me sleepless nights. Or, rather, the consequences from Mrs K is.

My local ASDA definitely doesn't have this in store, I looked last week and they only had typical 5-7 Litres free in stock. Might have a look at a bigger branch about 20 minutes drive away, wish their website had branch stock levels. Alas, the 2p,minuted is in the opposite direction to Dunelm...

Wilko website shows 15L made by Tramontina. Robert Dyas The Range, Amazon.co.uk and Wayfair also sell the same one all between £55-60. Problem is not being able to see it first.

Dunelm website shows a 11L @ £25 and 14L for £60. The smaller is available click and collect and in stock at a branch about 20 minutes away. The larger isn't available c&c so perhaps not held in stock, and Internet only.

You sounded like a good advocate for stove top brewing until that last sentence clapa Dunelm? Not checked them. We've got one a couple of miles away. I'll check them out. Just had a thought. I could split the batch into 2 pans and cook both at same time. Yeah, perhaps more work than one big...

Ok I'm having problems finding a pot/vessel that is in stock and affordable and reasonable quality. I've seen lots of ultra cheap pots around £20 for 15-20 litres but most of them look like they won't last 5 minutes, and there are reports of some rusting after a few uses. I've looked at...

Artists have always suffered for their art and always will :oops:

Can't you take a pane of glass out from above your kettle? They're usually clipped in. In case it rains, you could improvise a cover over it, can't describe it but looks like a window in a roof extension. Or as long as your wet room is dry an, ordinary extension lead would be adequate, no need...

Some of those recipes looked interesting, then I saw their recommend drying the grain for 7 hours! Maybe I'll just buy the flour instead!

SMP, up to this year we had hogs every night. This year, just one on one night. Don't know why. OK jof, I'll not try bread making!

As long as the smell isn't too rank, I can live with it as the compost bins are not near the house doors or windows. As long as it doesn't attract slugs or rats I dying mind. But I think the wetness might be the problem, so drying it should reduce the problem.

For the benefit of others like me who don't know who this refers to, it's Brew Bros Shop | Home Brewing Kits, Supplies and Equipment | All Grain My search for Brewbros turned up this, an e-liquid supplier and a bespoke coffee supplier, amongst others. A process of elimination soon led me to...

Thanks pedro, good luck with yours too. It needs to taste good, I'll be right cheesed off otherwise.

That's a good idea jof. It's a good learning opportunity to see how it changes the finished product. No way of learning otherwise. I'll put that into practice when I bottle this weekend.

Hi Pedro. I've just done the Festival Brigadier. I found fermenter activity slowed down the day before the hops went on, and stopped at the hop addition. I'm now on day 8 and the SG hasn't changed since day 5. I've been tempted to bottle early as fermenting has stopped but the instructions are...

Hi Tony. I visited a company a few years ago that had a micro brewery/pub next door. The pub was closed but I spoke to the staff and they gave me a few sacks of spent hops for my compost bins. There wasn't any unpleasant staff from them. I'm inclined to believe at least for the short term that...
