There you go, it makes sense to me.

That's because of their vitamin d deficiency. I watched a video which explains it. I'll see if I can find it.

Suns out here today, people are driving past my house as normal, I can hear kids out, smell barbecues and the ice cream man has just turned up. My immediate neighbours on one side sometimes have kids there, sometime 1 sometimes 2. They also have an teenager who goes out all the time and comes...

The small businesses (I'm specifically talking about welder fabricators) who employ maybe one person, who for tax purposes were advised to make themselves directors and pay themselves a wage, aren't entitled to anything. They can pay their 1 employee 80%, but can't claim it back until June...

I'm in the "not convinced that deaths are higher than in any normal year" camp. Even though I think I may have had it myself. I also think people are too quick to rush to facebook with photos of people they don't know, going to a destination of which the poster has no knowledge of and for what...

I have the Youngs bucket type fermenters. I don't use airlocks as they are too tall for my fridge. They seal too well for me, if I don't crack the lid they bulge out a lot. I used to like seeing the bubbles, but I can't see them in the fridge anyway. I now have a tilt hydrometer, so I can check...

Won't be long before the KGB are kicking doors in, in the middle of the night, because someones suspected of having an illicit haircut. I wonder if the app will have an option to report your neighbours if they come home with shorter hair, or whisky instead of milk.

23 litres of Best bitter Total 7765 litres.

Of course, there are so many variables it'll be virtually impossible to stumble on the exact recipe. I was really hoping that someone would say something like "this is it, it's now called xxxxx". It'll be fun trying though. also as I don't even remember what it tasted like, I wouldn't even know...

Opinions on this please, This is what I've come up with so far: for 23 litres. 3500g MO 250g dark crystal 20g Roasted barley mash @66c for 60 mins 20g WGV @60mins 20g Progress @60 mins 10g WGV @10 mins 10g Progress @10 mins 10 Progress Hopstand for 10 mins (before chilling) 3g Irish moss...

I read somewhere that he meant just white table sugar as breweries tend to use the cheapest option, it's basically to add alcohol in a more cost effective way than grain. As PerthRod says, it won't add anything to the flavour, in larger quantities it will thin it out a little (think mouthfeel)...

I didn't see your edit at the time, I must have read it as soon as you posted. Yes that makes sense. I'll try and make something using those ingredients. I'll probably make some decent beer, but I'm not sure I would even remember what it tasted like now, even though I used to drink lots of it...

Yeah, I saw that, but I don't think it refers to steam bitter. They used to do steam lager, steam beer, steam bitter and strong steam bitter. The bitter definitely had a darker grain than maris otter, I remember it was quite dark, about the same colour as speckled hen for instance. I might try a...

Anybody remember Newquay Steam Bitter which came in the flip top bottles? I used to drink it a lot back in the 80's early 90's. I brew my own beer and am looking for a recipe and I am unable to find hardly any info at all. From what I can make out og was 1.038 abv was 3.8%. As to grain bill and...

My GF has never cut out, is it the fruit additions that are causing it? Surely the melon and raspberries would be better as a late addition to the boil? Why does mashing in at a low temperature cause stuff to stick to the bottom?

It'll be fine. The more oxygen the better prior to fermentation.

AG, as I think you can see from this thread is way cheaper than kits, probably around half the cost, although you will have to take increased energy consumption into account. I could make mine even cheaper if I could be bothered to wash and reuse yeast. Hops are expensive, but I've got loads...

Thanks for this post. I've just bought something else I didn't realise I needed. athumb..

The "best" for me is always the one in the fermenter 🤞. Sadly it turns out to be always the next one. I still make some good beers, and some I like enough to repeat, but always looking for the "one".

Yeah I went there 1st but didn't see it on there, so left a new one. I will add I had 3 glasses and now got a bit of a headache.asad1
