Lol poor pooch , nope newish build around 2000 all copper.

Hi all I'm hoping someone could point me in right direction, I have noticed a faint but distinct metallic taste in my beers both kit and the AG biab . Our water in Torbay is soft as hell but has quite high iron content , our soil turns local sheep pink lol. Anyway I can treat this or will I have...

Chips coated with a bit of melted beef dripping are divine in the air fryer. Yorkshire pudding came out well in our one , ours has shelves and a rotisserie function. Pork chops and roast spuds are very good . Mixed roast veggies with balsamic glaze is anouther family favourite. I use a square...

Well I went and dived in feet first and it's actually bloody good, so here goes . 4 x 1l bottles lidl fresh pressed apple juice 500mil strong tea 2 x tea bags minimum. 500g light spraymalt. 1 TSP pectolase 1 TSP yeast nutrient Half pack Voss kviek yeast. Came out at about 5.8%. Going to do...

Ah that makes sense regarding the Krausen , would protofloc be better in v small batch brews rather than Irish moss ? Only used Irish moss one time no experience with protofloc. Cauliflower lumps is pretty accurate

I wish I had taken a picture , this was my first time with AG only done extract kits prior , best way I can describe what was left after I transfer it was like clumps of wet sponge cake . I'm wondering then if this has something to do with the yeast strain used as well as with kits they form a...

Hi all I spotted this BrewDemon Conical Fermenter and was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar for sale here in the UK ? Currently using a 8l bucket with lid ,airlock but for when I go up to a 10l batch something like this would be brilliant. If not any suggestions as buckets may be...

Ok I think I made a boo boo which will teach me not to watch YouTube guides in multiple parts whilst babysitting * dohhhhhh* . Soooo did the brew with Irish moss at 10 min before flame out as per destructions. Cold crashed to about 24°c and tipped whole lot into fermentor ( this was the mistake...

Update , SG according to the destructions is 1035, mine came out @ 1038 so not to far out , definitely a different brew day than I have had before , yeast is in , horn kviek, already bubbling to itself.

Well I finally plucked up the courage and dived in , crossmyloof we're all doomed mini 4.5l biab kit , currently on the last 40 mins of the boil , final volume is looking good ( notched plastic brewing spoon at 1l marks for my pan) . Next stage is Irish moss at 10 mins then 60 min hop stand...

Local here still has bitter from our local brewery and from a couple others randomly but they have alot of these crazy hopped cloudy things which make me retch ( Elvis juice, hazy jane prime examples ) . I get it brings the younger crowd in and a business needs to do what it has to for survival...

Any recommendations for those on android phones/tablets , pc is unfortunately kaput ( new laptop for daughter for Christmas but think Mrs will be pissed if I oik it to install brewing programs hehe )

As a absolute beginner I only understood bits but it was definitely interesting , I had a beer from a festival this summer that reminded me of asparagus , frankly it was not pleasant, I did wonder what was going on and this article has pretty much confirmed it was DMS.

Here's my little tunnel, pic from earlier in the season , chillies are nigh on 5ft high and stuffed with fruits now , even the wiri wiri has fruited and I honestly didn't think they would do much as the seed was from UAE. At the very back are minisota melons , one plant died early on due to a...

I was in the position of bottle hunting a while back , no joy locally and the Philistines locally on street mostly drink canned beers so was sol their , ended up buying 80 bottles for £36 as I was running out of time and patience lol. Still buy 3 grolsch swingtop with the shopping to slowly...

Popped in to our local Torquay store last week , homebrew section was virtually empty , couple packs of lme,dme . One pack of stabiliser and loads of packs of campden tablets and one wherry kit nothing else. pitty as I was in need of some yeast nutrient.

Could you clarify dunk sparge , just dunk a few times in a separate pan of water ?

You soooo missed the frosties pun their. Surely you ment They'rrre Great!

Ah nice thankyou should have realised maize dohhhh

Hi all , the lovely peeps at crossmyloof have pointed me in the right direction , I have a couple of their 1 gallon biab kits to try which I'll have a bash at over the weekend all being well ( were all doomed and hibbies Irish red ale ) . Just need to figure out the water volumes I need for...
