    Non-Hardware brewing essentials?

    Digital thermometer is on my list of things to buy. Took a glass thermometer from my brother's Brooklyn Brew Shop kit that I helped him with last week, turns out it reads 80C when boiling. Didn't know that at the time, probably should have tested first ha Cheers. Good idea. How long does the...

    Non-Hardware brewing essentials?

    Thanks for the info. Will probably use Starsan then, is the NoRinze any good as it seems a lot cheaper than the liquid form. - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0190LSSE4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I have a 40cm SS paddle and just a cheap plastic spoon too, then a 15l Young's Fermenter that I'll...

    Non-Hardware brewing essentials?

    I've now got most of my equipment together to start brewing All Grain, just need to order my kettle then I'll start to order ingredients for my first brew, thinking probably a single hop pale ale. Question is, what other essential things do I need to hand on brew day? Steriliser -...

    Recommend a kettle?

    Thanks for the info. A dipstick is a good idea actually, I might just do that rather than a sight glass. I think I prefer SS over plastic, not much reason other than it's stronger and shinier :) probably a bit more hard wearing too. My plan is to brew a few 5 gallon (maybe even smaller...

    I'm going full AG in our 1 bed apartment haha. Considered a Grainfather but couldn't justify the spend.

    Clibit's Half-Hearted Ale

    Love this beer, had a not so fresh bottle of it the other night and it was still good! Need to have a go at this recipe once I'm up and brewing. Here's a beautiful pint of it I had in Michigan, only $2 too :O

    Recommend a kettle?

    I've already bought most of my equipment but one of the final pieces I need before I can start brewing is a kettle. Been looking at a 30l Burco Cygnet to start with. Will probably upgrade with a brew pot and induction hob later on and use the Cygnet as a HLT. My question is, is there anything...

    Hey all

    When/If I make something that doesn't taste like dishwater, I'd appreciate the feedback.

    Hey all

    Cheers. I love beer and have visited quite a few different breweries over here and on holidays in the states. Been something I've wanted to try for a while but just never got round to it. Wife was asking for present ideas for Xmas from family and friends and didn't need anything else so...

    Hey all

    Ha, that's just an extra bucket for storage. I have a 27.5l fermenter. Was going to get the 27l mash tun but was only £10 more for the bigger one. Thought it'd save me money later if I wanted to upgrade.

    Hey all

    Thanks all for the welcome. :) Don't have many pics as I am in Leeds for xmas, this is a few things that turned up before I left London. Since then got a FV, Bottle Capper and a few other things for xmas too. Now just need to buy a kettle (Burco Cygnet), build an immersion chiller...

    Hey all, new to brewing and currently putting my all grain equipment together, should be brewing early in the new year. Thought I'd sign up here to have a look around and ask any questions I may need help with. Cheers
