Parpot. Do the hop flavours come through?

I picked one up from wilko in the recent sale. I'm going to make it up without the spice flavouring

likewise, Levitation tour with Hawkwind in Coventry

This has been in the bottle over 2 months. It doesn't smell nice, bit yeasty. It's got a strange fizz and looks like bisto. The rich treacley flavour comes through but it tastes like it'd give you bad guts. Anyone else tried the stuff

aye aye

I put about 500mls of water in a small pan, and warm to about 60C. Put the 80g of crystal in a hop sock/mesh bag and leave it in the pan with the lid on for half an hour. Add the single can of extract to the FV, pour boiling water into the can to dissolve the extract residue and drop the hops...

I brew it one can at 11L, steep 80g of crystal and 20g of ekg or fuggles. Takes the harsh edge of the wherry.

Hemeroids?

Thanks vw911. And with the help of Google images, they are yellow cayenne. The neighbours gave us a plant when we moved in 3 years ago. Mrs gar has kept them going since, the photo is of my pet plant. I'm might try drying some and pickling some. Not sure how, but will give it a go.

anyone know what type these are? When they're green, they are hot and flavoursome. When yellow, they're very hot. I've left this plant to see if they go red....

Llamaman, it's not overly bitter but is pretty roasty. It's a bit like a cakey imperial but without the alcohol hit. one or two is enough tho. I generally do 10 - 12 litre batches too. Think I'd add a few hundred grams of brew sugar next time, to up the abv wallop

Came out about 3.5%, I guess there's a lot of unfermentables in the tin. Anyway, as Bob mortimer said, it's as black as a witches knickers. Rich, full bodied and very stoutly.

hi, I use this stuff, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grape-Powder-for-Wine-Making-1kg-Red-Rose-White/282118668001?var=581079789907&hash=item41af953ee1:m:mReECu_k5idfkviLqaoJfWQ there's enough to makes 40L ish. It comes with yeast & nutrient. no need for finings, just give it time to clear. 100gms of...

When bottling a simply IPA, I racked 4.5Lts onto half a punnet of strawberries in a demi John. I'd rinsed the berries in a weak campden solution and then squirted with starsan before. Left for 4 or 5 days, then bottled as usual. It was a lovely strawberry flavour and aroma. Faded after a month...

I just made one of these up to half volume, no added fermentables... hoping for taste and body over strength.

Hi Terry. I've the same type and age plants. And pretty much the same has happened to mine. No hops last year and looking like a repeat performance this year...

Watneys tins full of old paint, with thick skin on top. Dotted around the shelves in the shed, like the scene from the birds
