I'm all for gadgets, tech and the idea of having more of an automated brew day, but have come to realise that I can make really nice beer with not alot more than a modified tea urn(early model of the karlsten mash tun). Going by the price of my batch I did today I could make 52 23l brews with...

Brewing a new recipe today - a Pale Ale that is inspired by a beer (thairanosaurus) from staggeringly good, a local brewery to me. It is not a clone! just really like the beer and wanted to do something that was inspired by it. Also wanted to try out some new hops and yeast. Using Denali hops...

Drinking what remains of my Cream Ale I brewed for a friends wedding.... during and after brewing a new brew today - a pale ale hopped with Citra, Equinox and Denali using Imperial Yeast's juice.

Hi, I've only ever ordered from maltmiller or geter brewed. Looking on malt Millers legacy recipe kits I can't find it so I must of ordered it from geter brewed that time

Many thanks for the vote of confidence. Considering it was a recipe I threw together from various parts of others I was really chuffed with it and it's a house favourite. Will be brewing this again this year at some point after I've finished brewing for a friends wedding.

I've just placed an order with MM this morning... Sent them an email with the recipe/quantity of ingredients just before 8, they replied at 9:20 with a copy of an invoice, after you confirm your happy - they sent a paypal payment request for the amount. This was £17.70 . This time was still...

I tweeted MM before easter asking about their recipe kit creation..they said that its a matter of their priority but if there are any recipes you want made up then just email them. I guess then they will send out a paypal payment request or something to pay for it. I haven't ordered from them...

Yesterday I transferred the beer to keg. Got a full 9. 5l keg full, for a time I was fearing a overspill, certainly going to get my drinks worth. Taste test after 10 days fermentation (5day dry hop) is great..Rounded taste, the smokeyness is rounded and not too harsh smells tropical then the...

Oh cool, thanks. thats probably the best thing ive seen about the subject.

Thanks all, the heating pad I've got is one for cats/dogs to sit on or for their beds. May not hold up but can try it and improve on it if it goes. Trying to keep on the cheap rather than adding too much to my equipment/spreading out too much. Ideally wanted a fridge, however the wife doesn't...

Hi all, Ive got a water profile of the following: Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ 10 Cl- 22 SO4-14 Alkalinity 267 pH1 7.32 I wanted to try using tap water for my next couple brews as I've only used Ashbeck Water from tesco's for all previous brews and wanted to try tap water with adjustments. However I don't know...

Cool, thanks. was always thinking of placing it around the fermenter or even sticking it on to it, so not going to touch the bag itself. I have a mini USB desk fan Im going to use to cool it if needed. I know the fan part is OK as ive used that in the past.

Hi all, I've got a CoolBrewing bag and used it with iceboxes and hot water bottles in the past to try to maintain a generally stable temperature (but you never quite can tell) An ideal I've had was to buy an ink bird, a animal heated bed pad and possibly a USB fan which both would plug into the...

I've ordered the ingredients and planning a weekend brew. I just usually go with us 05 that's all but I've recently read to try O4 especially as it can hold up to colder fermentation temps. I think the recipe didn't update the ibus as I was changing things around and changed the AA manually...

After having the strong urge to Brew agian after my last batch was back in December. Was out of doing my black ipa hopped with just galaxy or something different, went with something different. Going to do a 9l batch for my small keg. Came up with an Idea of a brown ipa but having some smoked...

If I brewed on 6th with 10 days in the fermenter, then give it another week in force carbing in the keg.....it would be very green i expect. Probably better to bank the recipe for next year or just do the recipe at some point to try the hops out. I'll plan a brew so I can drink early Jan

I was just trying to give it a christmasy name, with using comet and cashmere hops had in mind to do a label with a reindeer wearing a xmas jumper. Aiming for an alternative more sessionable christmas beer. Original idea for the name was Comet's Cashmere but I thought it was abit unoriginal.

IBUs worked out on brewersfriend at 48:44, when i put 10g both I meant 10g of each so 20g in total for instance

I've had abit of a break from brewing (only a few months mind) as I'm in the process of moving to a house rather than a flat and have everything in boxes - move is friday though. Planning on doing a brew in the 1st few weeks ready for xmas. Ive been wanting to try Cashmere and Comet hops for...

I froze bottled water in tupperware, when it was time to chill I took the tupperware out when I started chilling, got to about 50c, by that point the frozen water was just starting to come away from the sides of the tupperware. I helped it on its way and just plopped the water in, no tupperware...
