I am looking at getting a small(ish) metal shed to go inside my garage which i can insulate and fit an small A/C unit in and a small heater for winter. Anyone else done this??

Yeah that is what i was thinking - will have to be a starter in future i reckon cos i aint spending £13.40 just on yeast :wha:

:doh: :doh: :doh: I need to do a lager largering process for my larger.

Temp is 22 degrees - will then be 9 degrees once I see some fermentation going on :shock:

Just made 27l of Grolsch clone - i used Wyeast 2007 Pilsen Lager yeast which was made at the begiinning of April (3.5 months old) I smacked it as usual around 4 hours before putting into the wort - stored it in the airing cupboard (22 degrees) but it didnt seem to swell, certainly not as much...

Not sure its a Pilsner in the truest sense but i have just made a Tsing Tao clone which is honestly the best lager i have ever drank. For 26l 3kg Pilsner 2 row German 1.9kg Pale 2 row UK 500g Flaked Maize 500g Flaked Rice 30g Saaz 90mins 20g Hallertau Hersbrucker 90 mins 15g Saaz 15 mins...

AG is calling - i would get cheapo AG equipment if only to make a decent Hefeweizen. Really easy, extremely cheap and if you use the right yeasts & temperatures you will get a wheat beer which is on a par with Franciskaner / Paulaner etc

I must be lucky - the missus loves the brewing process - i just cant keep her away from my wort.

Is there any particular reason that you would be doing a 2 hour mash and a 2 hour boil??

I got SG of 1072 too - 21.5 litres though as i scaled down the batch at the last minute to make sure i could fit the grains in the mash-tun. I took your advice and ditched the black malt and chucked in a bit more chocolate :clap: Fermentation went mental after 24 hours and blew the airlock...

Funny as owt - one of the women at work is Anal Hardens Nib

Mine is how i help the missus out before our summer hols when she wants help with her bikini line!! Megawatt Shaver Her

I would upgrade to all shiny :thumb:

One does enjoy ones ale from time to time one does!! Congrats :cheers: - the view looks fab!! Now enough of that unpacking - get a brew on to christen the house.

Depends on your religion I would guess :-D

Yeah they are from Flaschenland.de. The metal bits they sent me look very strong - thicker than the normal grolsch ones and i have never had any problems using them.

Wow - that looks quality!! The single worst thing about reading this forum at work is it makes me so thirsty :doh:

I have just this evening binned 100 or so of these as had 126 swing top bottles delivered from germany yesterday for a cost only a bit more than them plastic jobs. I dont like the coopers bottles, they look naff and its near impossible to stick any easily removable labels on, and they go out of...

I have always used castor sugar for my priming - i think it gets absorbed into the beer easier than granulated. A flat teaspoon for a 500ml bottle will give you a nice lively carbonation.

It sounds like a lot of dextrose (650g) for effectively a 2 can kit? Has anyone had a taste of the finished product yet?
