Apologies if this is in the wrong place.. there used to be a kombucha thread but I can't find it now. So my question is can I make a 40 bottle batch of kombucha like I do for beers using all the same equipment? And, moreover, is a internet bought scooby man enough to do the job? Thanks in advance!

A review here for @Hazelwood Brewery 's summer ale. This was an excellent pint! Upon opening it seemed slightly over carbed and there was a little 'expansion' but nothing to worry about and nothing that detracted from the enjoyment. It poured with a small amount of sediment but was pretty...

Great news. Unbelievable... They've got one job...!

So I understand from one of the other recipients. I promise I sent them! I'm really disappointed and I just hope they are delayed and not lost for good. If they aren't received, I'll send you a bonus Hefewiezen each, sadly I have no more of the golden ale. I don't know how all three could...

Nice... And that hop- I KNEW IT! I should trust my nose more

First to try for me was @Tess Tickle ... A really good golden ale. Opens with a healthy fizz, gives a nice head and good lacing. Quite strong flavoured... No bad thing, I would love to know what hop that is (in fact if you could post the recipe that would be good!). I have a feeling it's the...

Superb! Thank you. Then what? 🤣 I've heard putting them in a paper bag to dry out is a good idea?

These are in my garden looking awesome, how do I know when to take them off the plant? Thanks knowledgeable collective 🤓

I've just sent mine out 1st class; post office gentleman informed me that Royal Mail workers are on strike tomorrow, and obviously it is a bank holiday on Monday (they won't go out until then). So I hope you get them soon! Also worth mentioning they are bottle conditioned, so chuck em in the...

I'm away from home but back tomorrow, I should be able to post then, apologies for lateness

I have three left to swap, and am to be congratulated on my self restraint. I honestly have been wording the 'actually I can't' message in my head but here we are. Who'd have thought it at this late stage of the game? 🤣

I never new a Dutch oven was an actual thing! Apart obviously from duvet torture

Not to upset anyone here, but this isn't a competition, it's a swap. The clue is the title of the thread; and in any case this beer won't be so far removed from style. It'll be great!

There is no problem! Always make beer you like 😎

My EKGoldy has been in the bottle for 9 days now, it's tasting fine! I think it'll end up a good beer, but I don't think it'll go bright as a button... I may have been a bit heavy handed with the dry hop so it will retain the haze I think.

I made a dark beer and dry hopped it with chai tea, the plan being to have a spicy finish to Christmas fireside pint. It was awful, and I wish I hadn't added anything to it. It would have been a perfectly good beer without! I think I got the idea after having success dry hopping a summer ale...

Why would that make it not clear? Asking for a friend 🤣

I read this in the voice of the British police officer from Allo Allo. I've had the same thought, does a smaller hop bag still allow the dry hop to be as effective?

@Session I like option 1! I might try that next time around. I've often thought of plastic welding or silicone an upside down smaller bucket on the lid, then having the airlock at the top, so that the airlock doesn't get clogged with froth and the hops stay dry until they're dropped.

Indeed I do! Good work👍
