thats brilliant guys, that makes sense to me now. if i have it right in my head ill get some muslin bags, steep the grains at the right temprture and for the right amout of time, then sparge the grains. this will produce a wort that i wont need any more suger or malt extract for. i hope i have...

things like vienna, lager or maybe biscuit grains. what is meant by " a mini mash" sorry if the answers to these are obvious, i just wanna be clear before i start

what would happen if i were to steep grains not mentioned in your list clibit ?

hi guys, hope your all good. i have made four kits now with great success and i want to move up to extract brewing. i have a couple of questions: i want to make one gallon batches so i can experiment more without taking up too much space so i bought a one gallon glass demi john to ferment in. is...

oh right, thats simple, cheers mate.

Hi guys, tesco has a 25% sale just now so was thinking of getting some light dry malt extarct but i was wondering how you use it ?. im sure it adds more flavour and aids in head retention but i dont know quantities or anything like that. any information on this would be great, cheers guys

thanks guys, the hydrometer was 1.010 so im gonna go ahead and bottle, cheers for putting my mind at ease

hi guys, thats my coopers heritage lager been in the fv for 11 days now, with the hydrometer readings being the same now for two days. its been at a constant 11oc to 13oc and i used a proper lager yeast( mangrove jacks bohiemian ). my question is 11 days seems quite short for a lager due to all...

im curious to try it with say coopers stout or something that traditionally would be a "heavy" beer just to see what happens. im a lager drinker but want try some thing with a deeper flavour and yet still contains the crisp clean flavour of a lager. probably hoping for too much but i wanna try

hi guys, might be a strange one here but... i was wondering what would be the results of an ipa or stout kit being fermented with a lager yeast ?. its still cold where i am and my hallway is constant around 11oC. i could just make another lager in time for summer but was interested if anyone had...

yeah there is a shop but its 45 miles away, was through last week and its a great place. i reckon when i get more confident and start adding hops or even all grain brewing ill through more often

hi guys, just a quick question, where do you guys buy your ingriedients,equipment, chemicals from within the uk. tescos have a wide range at decent prices and lakeland too but its all lakeland brand items and i was wondering if they were any good. cheers as always

hi guys, well thats the my first brew done(youngs harvest pilsner lager) and been in the bottles for ten days now and i couldnt wait any longer. well im impressed. the flavour is superior to anything i have tasted before, but considering i have only ever tasted the big comerricial brands(...

hi guys, i got my coopers heritage lager kit today and also asked the gut in the home brew store for some lager yeast. he gave mangrove jacks lager yeast. my questions are 1. the kit calls for1.5kg of coopers light malt extract, but i dont have this, would 1kg of coopers brew enhancer work...

hi larry, i m in the same boat as you in regards to it being my first brew and the tempreture. i managed to get mines up to a constnat 18-19 oc and it was ready to bottle after 12 days after being at a cooler 14-15 for the first 2 days. the forum put my mind at ease with some good advice, same...

thats the first brew bottled. i used one carbonation drop per 330ml bottle, one and a half per 500ml bottle. storing at around 12 degrees in my cupboard and hopefully be able to try one after a week, just to check but planning on leaving them for closer to three weeks.
