Christmas is coming. All year i've been asking the wife for a Boiler for christmas (i.e. beer urn) so I can make the jump to AG. She normally spends about £200 on me. I need it to be Electric and big enough to ferment 20ish litre batches. Any recommendations. Don't really know what i'm...

Coopers Kits are pretty good. I've done their Mexican Cervesa kit before and it turned out well (there isn't too much to say with lager. Disappeared quickly over a few hot summer days). Heard good things about the British Bitter kit. Have fun athumb..

That Geordie Lager kit is pretty good actually.

Hi Folks, Bit of advice needed. Got designs on making a Lavender and Blueberry Mead. I've got all my honey and a bag of blueberries, i just need to harvest the lavender from the garden. I've never used lavender before, so I have questions. I presume i use the leaf and not the flower. Am i...

Cheers. Never noticed them this big before. I'll keep my peepers on it.

I've got a Munich Helles on the go at the moment. I had a look at it this morning and noticed something floating on top of the beer. They're thin beige shapes. I'd say they look kind of like Coconut chips or potato peelings. There is a slight banana-y smell. I've had a similar smell before...

Thanks for all the replies acheers.

A friend of mine is considering starting homebrew. He's spotted this offer on Beerhawk: https://www.beerhawk.co.uk/brewery-in-a-box-essential-starter-kit Which looks to be great for a newbie. His only concern is that the included kit is out of date. Obviously he doesn't know how out of date it...

It seems strange to be planning a pumpkin beer already, but I order for my next few brews in advance and given i won't be ordering for a month or so it will probably fall at the backend of my next order. I made a pumpkin amber ale last year, which was plenty nice, but this year I wanted to do...

So I did a quick search and didn't come across any posts about this already. Dark Rock Tribute to Newcastle Brown Ale - Part Grain I did this kit a few months ago. I haven't really used Speciality Grains so the Part Grain kits seemed like a good gateway. The instructions were clear and...

Am I too late. Can i be in the draw. Please?

I'll Play.

Hi Forum, Quick question, probably been asked before. I'm planning on making Mead this weekend. I don't have any Mead Yeast in. I've seen people use Champagne Yeast for Mead. I don't have that. I do have some Wilko Universal Wine Yeast. Will this do the job?

It's actually more like Jurgen saying they didn't do well because Gerard Houllier signed the wrong players.

Probably a blessing in disguise.

Hi Everyone, A friend of mine is considering getting into Homebrew while we're in lockdown. He's asked what to get as a newbie. I don't want to recommend anything too pricey so I've set a £100.00 budget. My choice was The Home Brew Company's Beer Starter Kit as it includes bottles and I know...

I'd probably have Nine Inch Nails.

Haven't read through the thread, so this might have already been raised, but has anyone else been having real difficulty finding anywhere that's not sold out of Amber/Medium DME?

Good plan. Might do that. Got some old fizzy water bottles knocking about which should serve. I drank the trial jar. Tasted a little sweet. Not too bad (drinkable at least). Took the gravity after i'd filled all the bottles i could so the sample came from the bottom of the fermentor near the...

Brewed a Coopers Cervesa kit. Gave it three weeks, got a nice healthy Krausen to begin with so didn't worry about the ferment. OG at 1032-1036. Bottled it up, took an FG after bottling (like an *****) and it was at 1020. I used a lager yeast (I *think* it was mangrove jacks' california common...
