Right then. My first beer of the year, which I picked up from a shop near to me before Christmas.

Working from home....I'm sure that's the HBF on your screen😁

Nowt yet as I'm still working, but seeing I've broken the dry January seal and it is also Friday I'll see what takes my fancy in a bit.

Hehe. I don't understand though, bread only takes 4 hours to make.

No worries. I have a few barrels but haven't used them for ages, for no other fact than I prefer pouring from bottles and they can be popped in the fridge as and when you want them. You also need CO2 to top barrels up once you have poured around half your beer and the local HBSs have closed by...

I'm sure I'm no record breaker for primary fermentation, but I have a demijohn of turbo cider still bubbling away after 6 weeks in my usual place which is sat constantly about 20 Deg all year round. The airlock is still doing less than every 60 seconds and I can see the bubbles rising. Usually...

Hi and welcome! You either use the pressure barrel or bottles for your beer. You wouldn't transfer to the pressure barrel and then fill bottles after, however you could transfer some of your brew into the pressure barrel and then do bottles too, at the same time. In either the pressure barrel...

I guess at 19L there are still a few litres left over from a typical brew to put into bottles anyway, not that I donate much in the way to friends anyway :laugh8:

I have pondered over a corny keg for years, now just reading this I'm tempted again! Thee BKT stuff looks great so I might have to treat myself/invest🙂

Hello👋

Good tip!

Going back to this, I did a subscribe and save with Amazon on the Tassimo pods. Doing that I got a box of 5 X 8 double shot latte (40 drinks) for just under £14 and presumably it will be a similar price going forward too. A bargain compared to supermarkets. Worth a look looking into for any...

Blimey. Sounds like a headache for the companies.

They were definitely over carbed but lovely (after 30 mins of getting into them)

You may get gushers if it is over carbonated. I did a raspberry cider last year with Lowicz juice and primed the bottles with it too. Now I don't know if I bottled too early or the bottle priming measurement was off, or both, but they were well lively. I learned quick after the first one...

That's my favourite shop/pub bought lager. I must buy some next time I head to the shops.

Don't worry, you failed the same day as me. Work was doing my head in though!

I failed my January challenge. I'm currently supping a nice dram of whisky.

I've always fancied going the AG route but I just don't have the time, so have always done kits for well over 10 years - on and off at times. Some kits are a bit and miss as you will probably know, but definitely going for the 'two can' kits in my option is money well spent and definately some...

I'm trying to avoid alcohol this month, although I won't kick myself if I don't mange to, which is more likely the longer I stay in this thread😁
