I did the Youngs American Mocha Porter back in September and everyone liked it, but I personally thought it could handle a bit more 'oompf'! So, I've bought it again with a view to doing a few additions on the brew next week. I'd welcome any thoughts or guidance on my plan. What I had in mind...

I can add to make it four in Sandbach. Filling a corney up yesterday and the lid was stuck. Gave it a thump, it moved suddenly and my hand hit the metal edge of the opening, slicing a big gouge out of the side of my thumb. Blood dripping everywhere over the kitchen floor, me trying to keep it...

I am now personally beginning to wonder if the pubs of Sandbach will ever survive once all this lockdown and covid stuff ends. Perhaps we can replace 'Spoons with a Home Brew Shop? Hello and welcome. Wouldn't it be nice for us all to meet up one day. Actually met OB yesterday for the first...

Just looked and I think that threads been locked out now so nobody else can add their details

Y'know as I was writing my original post I was having a private bet to myself that it would be my neighbour Santa OB who replied! Why don't I just have you on Speed Dial? Save all this typing nonsense! I would be delighted to accept your offer of a boiler loan, as I'm sure would my Mrs! How do...

Just starting on AG and done a few 1 gallon batches and now planning a 10lt brew to fill a half size corny keg. Planning to scale down the Black Sheep Ale recipe from the CAMRA Brew Your Own British Real Ale Book. The grain bill for this is about 2.1kg which suggests a 'mathematically scaled...

What do you mean by 'does nothing but produces foam'? Is that when you are dispensing? If so, how are you dispensing/what's your set up and how are you carbonating your beer in the keg? Foaming when dispensing is normally a symptom when dispensing of over carbonating and/or not restricting the...

Corny kegs are like drugs.... once tried you will want another, then another.... Sounds like a simple set up for you. Something like Premium Ball lock disconnect Gas IN Barbed – BrewKegTap or Ball lock disconnect Gas in MFL with CHECK VALVE – BrewKegTap and John Guest Speedfit 3/8" BSP to...

Hi OB, I've been robbed! Call the cops! I used Smithsons in Kidsgrove. Not the end of the world though as its only the deposit. Does Pennine do No2? Possibly looking to add a bottle for my stouts and porters? I'm going to have to get you doing all my Christmas shopping!

Agree with the post above that BrewKegtap are always excellent on service and seem as competitive as any other. Couple of thoughts... Try and work out everything that you want first and buy in one go. Postage is often the killer, so try and package things up, even if its across a couple of...

Hello. I have a question for you all. I don't own a Brewzilla at the moment but have started to do small scale AG at home in the kitchen and am hoping to purchase a 'system' sometime in the New Year so that the Mrs can relegate me to the garage. Choice is probably going to be between the...

I'm in. Titanic Porter is the one to go for. Out of stock already!

I'm in. Keep the Mrs happy.

That's it! When all the dairy cows are floating away with global warming we'll be the last to get our feet wet.

Hello Chops, I'm up on the top of The Hill, past the chippy.

Hi, just starting in AG but if all goes well then by February I should be up for this. Not certain but probably 1 x 25kg Maris/Pale and then 3kg of Chocolate & Crystal, possibly others, depends how the experimentation goes in the next couple of months, plus I am starting from a low...
