I don't do any kegging yet. Mainly because I brew 23l of something different every week and so have to (and like to) give a lot away. I currently have 17 different bottled beers in stock. That's one hell of a lot of cornies!

Cheers CC. But factoring in a tap etc it gets a bit pricey! I do enjoy bottling too, honest!

Ah well, thought it was too good to be true. Just fancied rocking down to the beach with a nice cold keg. Cheers for the quick replies guys.

Interested in these for summer parties etc. Are they any good?

In the original recipe there were no boil hops, just 4g of Simcoe and 4g of Ekuanot at flame out. I looked at a few other IPL recipes and the IBUs varied from 10 to 40+so I added 28 IBUs in the boil and added some Azacca in the FO and dry hop too. I think I'll dry hop, then transfer to a...

It's a very small dry hop, even though I intend to add some more as it was VERY small! I think I'll add them in a bag during the last part of active fermentation and into the D rest. Then take them out for the cold conditioning.

Hi All. I am brewing my first lager, well an IPL actually as I'm not a great lager fan, from an AG kit. I'm using MJ M84 yeast and it's currently on day 3 gently bubbling at 12C in the garage. The instructions say to ferment until 1.012 then store at 4c for 4 weeks. But no mention of when the...

just boiling my first lager, well an IPL to be precise. It's an AG kit from BrewUK but I was a bit disappointed with the hops supplied. The recipe said no boil additions, just 4g Simcoe and 4g Ekuanot at FO and 8g Mosaic and 4g Ekuanot as a dry hop. So not much IP to go with the L! So I've...

Must do this recipe again. I've got my home grown Chinook hops to use too. It'll be interesting to see how they are compared to the American ones.

On our way back from Thailand, where the interesting beers dried up, via Helsinki for the night. Quite a bit of craft beer here but at 11 euro a pint! Had a poor Belgian dubbel and a great Imperial Stout. Never had an Imperial before but it went down great. Probably due to the 34 degree change...

A bit quiet on the new beer front here in Thailand. Found this Duvel, but it didn't travel well. Offered the owner £5 for the glass but he wasn't interested!

Luckily I saw a YouTube video featuring a craft brewery called Chit Beer, in Bangkok. So had to arrange an overnight to visit. Great place with great beers, I tried them all, some more than once! Good to chat to the brewers there too. One criticism was a lack of carbonation, probably due to the...

Your man in Thailand checking in. Been stuck up a mountain near Laos recently, but back in Chiang Rai now. Not much to report, only new thing I found was this. An odd blend of malt, fruit juice and water. Still 5% but if you ever see it, which I doubt, avoid it like the plague! Tomorrow will be...

Not tonight, but even further tomorrow to Phu Chi Fah. Probably rugger all beer there. 🙄🤔

**** me a boulder. The bar in town has this! 10 000km away from home. 👍🍻

Next up, in a bar. A great weizen. Tasted much like one I made in the summer. Great with orange, but they didn't have any.

The latest from your man in Thailand. A new one on me, Chang lager is an old favourite but with coffee? In a lager? Crazy Thai, but it does work quite well. Maybe it's because we've done 75miles on the moped in the rain to the most northern point in Thailand and I'm gasping!

Next up. A passion fruit weizen. Not bad, fruity and refreshing but should've chilled it more. At 4% it would be a good day beer. But it isn't anymore here! 😁🍺

From your Thailand correspondant. Riceberry beer. 5%. It says "imported malt combines with Thai Riceberry purple rice to brew a unique Asian and European style dark lager" Not too bad and only £1. 😁

In Chiang Rai, Thailand. Taken 5 flights over 2 days to get here. Haven't slept yet but its 5.30pm. Its gotta be done!
