Ive got 2 of these on the way in the post that i bought on ebay, thinking i might try one with treacle and one without, ive got a couple of kilos of extra dark dme aswell so will be using that too.

Ive just bought a couple of cubes off ebay for about 15 quid for the 2 with postage, so it might be worth trying that if you have room for storing them. Sounds like you are working out your volumes well and making some good beer congrats

The bubbles generally get smaller with time in the bottle which can make it smoother. The carbonation drops are very handy but they are one size fits all so you cant adjust carbonation for a style. I batch prime now when i bottle and i prefer it.

Im thinking of the different colour bottle caps idea myself, at the moment i just pour it in a glass and try and guess what it is

I never did extract to be fair, i did a few BIAB as i didnt have the money to buy a full ag setup in one go and it allowed me to add to my equiptment gradually

I would try an extract batch first or a BIAB batch, buy yourself a brew kettle that is big enough to become part of your full all grain setup at some stage and try an extract batch and then a BIAB. Youll find AG alot easier once you have got used to some of the processes involved in extract brewing.

wow thats alot of cups

How have you been getting on with the cubes? Where did you get yours?

Gotta love brewing tv

Saw something like this on brewing tv, is that where you got the idea? Looks very interesting hope it goes well

Bad luck, i have just bottled this kit, i would also suggest adding another tin, i paid 19.99 for mine so it wouldnt be cheap but i cant see it being very tasty as it is.

Thats a pretty high abv, isnt osh only about 4.5%?

o could never get plastic kegs right, glad i have cornys now

glad i live in the uk 200l would not be enough for me!

Id buy in bulk, maybe get your mates to brew aswell or help you out for a share of the beer and split the cost, you can get spraymalt pretty cheap from the forum sponsors in bulk, you can also get a coopers kit with brew enhancer or spraymalt in some cases for around 15 quid and if you spent 70...

Finished around 1.30am as it took a while to get boiling. About to pitch my yeast now after cooling overnight. Ill put the pics up once ive uploaded them all to photobucket sometime today i think.

Boil is on now just waiting for it to get up to temp

haha yep, im about half way through sparging, good thing im a night person

Sounds great, look forward to seeing how you get on, let us know where we can get the beers

1kg of dark spraymalt would be great, ive heard of some adding treacle or brown sugar, any would be good but id go with the dark spraymalt
