I'm bottling a Saison on Friday, up for this comp!

If anyone is interested I want to sell my Ace boiler 30l (mash tun) (4 brews old), a new SS grain basket that fits inside and a K type thermometer. The grain basket was about £90 once it came over with customs. Also I'm selling my older 12l stove top pan (orginally from Wilko) and a grain...

Ive printed off a few the sweet stout recipes trying to use for some inspiration. I've ordered semi skimmed Occultist off their site to try and Ive had a bottle of Jet Black Heart earlier in the week that I really liked, especially when I got a lingering chocolate milkshake taste in my mouth...

Yesterday I brewed my tweaked red ipa recipe, even though I was tired (waking up early to catch the F1) it went well. My Ace Grain bag finally gave up though, by my next brew day though I should have a Ss grain basket which should generally help matters of spillages on the kitchen floor. Got 5%...

This has solid sides, this is the one I commented on earlier in the thread http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162136128411

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162136128411 is 25 by 46 with 2 cm feet I ordered one last Wednesday due anytime next few days. £95 all including delivery (managed to put in a best offer to get some money off)

It was £95 all in. If I get any additional import charges I don't know. I did get a missed delivery card today saying a parcel was attempted delivery. But Im also expecting a packet of belma hops for my next brew so it could be either. Find out tomorrow either way.

The one I've ordered is 25 by 46 cm with 2 cm feet Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162136128411

If you wanted a basket to fit an ace boiler this looks like it will fit perfectly. I've actually ordered one, last week. The UK listing was setup to best offer too so I managed to get it for about £80 delivered. Looking forward to trying this out as the grain bags loop ripped through when I...

This all seems to familiar with how my latest batch has gone. It's stopped at around 1020 and started at 1052. Been taking readings last few days (2 weeks since brewday) with a steady temp of 18-19. Hasn't changed even if there was some bubbles in the air lock yesterday they arnt today...

sorry to dig up an old thread, but what were the results like as I made an elderflower golden ale last year with dried elderflowers and was looking to either supplement them or replace them with a hop similar. I was also looking at Stryian Wolf hops too as a replacement..

Agreed. My last brew day was bliss as I seemed to nail every step. I unfortunately didn't buy the ACE from the usual ebay seller but an online retailer so it didn't have the false bottom or grain bag so I had to buy the grain bag and work out a system instead of the false bottom as some of the...

Did a brew on Friday and used my spare Grain bag as a hop filter, it worked a treat, don't know obvously yet if it effected the hop utilisation but for the principle of using it to help stopping blockages at the end worked floorless. I gave the bag a good squeeze at the end and hit my...

Probably going to drink my last G.E.B Pale Ale (Galaxy, El Dorado and Bravo) then maybe some of the Belgium beers in my beer 52 subscription box. Real shame I missed the cut off for the stone brewery one last month

Originally I did a recipe last year for fathers day. It turned our really well, however I always though I could improve the malt backbone. So I did this year and going to enter it in a upcoming competition. Had a few friends over last weekend and the bottles I kept back for myself went. Im still...

Ouch! Bugger! I had something similar to my old car a few years ago (not as dramatic only the roof and back go damaged) on Boxing Day. Was not happy. It took 6 weeks for the garage to fix it.

Good to know, thanks. I'm going to look up in the loft tonight at my old/space brew stuff. Hopefully I still have my older mash/grain bag that has a drawstring so I can re purpose it in a way you have done.

I have had trouble with all my brews when transferring to the fermenter with the hops blocking the ball values. The false bottoms I've tried haven't helped, hop bazookas have been more pain than good, so I have ended up using sometimes a jug and pouring through a strainer over the fermenter...

I started out with small tags tied with string, then found some floppy disk labels I've now recently started using glossy printable wine bottle labels, they arnt cheap 10 sheets each with 4 labels was about �£10. They do however make the bottles look really pro with sometime on...

I'm 30 and started last year (2015) as I got a beginners kit for my 29th birthday, now about 18 months on, I think Ive got a setup that works and feel confident after my few brews to put myself into competitions next year to improve myself further, under no illusion I'd win anything but feel...
