Never had it before but it’s pretty damn good. I’ll probably only have the one them though, before I move onto something else, as it’s 8.2%!

Good shout re bottling some with crown bottles, if giving them away, I hadn't thought of that! I've already lost a couple of swingtops through that very reason too!

The Grainfather Sparge water heater is circa £90. The Still Spirits version is circa double that. They look pretty much identical (Grainfather one has a visible water volume tube) and I had a suspicision, given they're both based in the same place in NZ, that they're the same company with...

Thanks @Saisonator , that's coming out at exactly the same as the Grainfather equation, so it must be using that and negating the need for me to work it out myself. I've also realised there's a Mash and Sparge water caclulater in the App (app looks ok at first glance, although it seems to have...

Thanks Rodcx500z, I think I'll go with the Grainfather figures then. athumb.. I'm going to do a short test run of the brew tonight whilst I do an initial sterilization of the whole system. I'm assuming Starsan is fine to use? I use it for my stainless steel brew pot and all my extract...

Thanks Rodcx500z, And yes, it's a 23L brew...out of interest, why would the brew size make a difference to your answer (sorry, potential very stupid question I know)?

I've also used Brew2bottle, to buy additional swing-top bottles. They're the best price I can find and I much prefer swing-top to crown capping, as it saves time and money. I do have a lot of old Magners Cider bottles as well though, which are good as they're brown and 1 pint in size, and I...

Hi all, I had a new Grainfather G30 delivered earlier in the week and have just put it together, but I had a question around the mash schedule prior to diving into my first brew (so to speak, I don't actually swim in beer!). For my first brew, I bought a Brew UK AG "Wreck the Halls" recipe...

Mine has been delivered today, so watch this space; I'm new to AG so I can't compare it to a "non-all-in-one AG system", but I can share how easy it is and what the results are. I bought it with a few if extra items, as advised by reading this and other forums, such as the micro pipework...

Thanks for all the replies and a few ideas to give me food for thought. Re the water, I’m just outside Shrewsbury, Shropshire, which I’m led to believe has decent water quality but is a hard water area; we’ve a fair few local breweries which make pretty good darn beer, so it can’t be that bad...

Brewuk are pretty much the only online company I've used and, after many, many years of superb customer service, I've only ever had a couple of issues. One of those wasn't really their fault but they still sorted it out very quickly (Parcelforce 24 (or not, as the case may be) delayed delivery...

I've done a quick search but apologies if I'm posting something that's been asked before. I've made many extract homebrews over the years and one reoccurring 'issue', if you will, is the body / mouthfeel of my beer. Whilst the flavour and aroma might be excellent a lot of the time, in darker...

Tipsy. athumb..

Already way past the “expensive” point, I shudder to think what I’ve spent on brewing over the years! Distance from the wife isn’t a problem; in fact, most of the time it’s asked for!! 🤣

Err...why on earth do you need plumbing adaptors, I.e. which ones do I need to go and buy?? 🤣

So resisting the obvious one! “Sacks”

Ahh, I think you need glasses! 😉 I quoted hop a longs post but several other posts had been submitted first, ending in yours. I edited my post so the word was an amendment of your “Tasks” (otherwise my “Stack” wouldn’t have worked) but it obviously still says “you quoted from hop a longs post”...

Eh, why (I've checked and rechecked and still can't see anythign wrong...which is maybe why I'd need glasses!)?

So, am I right in thinking that you'd use a fresh yeast (I have a White Labs WLP005 - English Ale Yeast for example), create a yeast starter, split the starter in 1/2 and put half in a jar and 1/2 in your brew, and then repeat with the starter you put in the jar next time? Is there a 'guide' to...
