Hi, I have 46 empty Grolsch bottles that need to go to a new home. Only used them a few times several years ago. Have been in storage since, now I'm moving, they have to go. They could do with a bit of a clean. Open to offers, I'm based in Stockport, South Manchester, prefer pickup

I have around 22 clear (spitfire type) bottles and approx 55 brown (erdinger type) bottles. Free to a good home

Thanks all for the positive replies, my next challenge is a fermentation fridge :) A rough calculation stands at around ��£350, with the kegs and gas management board taking a large chunk.

Hi All, This weekend I have finally finished my 6 month kegerator build. Well I have been planning and collecting bits for the last 6 months. There have been some great threads on this site that have helped me through the build and I thought I would share some of my pictures. Larder...

Hi All, I am thinking of buying a couple of the cheap Wilko pressure kegs while there on sale. Does anyone know if it is possible to drill out and fit a S30 valve to the bog standard cap? Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I have BrewMate downloaded so I will have a play around with the figures you have recommended. Looking forward to this brew :D

Hi All, I am planning on brewing a Single hop beer trying out the Simcoe hop (Bought 100g recently). My last single hop brew using Amarillo was superb! I am going to be using 3kg of light liquid malt and looking for it to be in the low to mid 4%. I have been searching for the web for a hop...

Thanks for your replies, Its a shame to loose a brew, but thinking back I don't think I did the best job when sterilizing. Probably got a bit content as I have only bottled before and nothing has gone wrong. Got to learn somehow :)

Hi All, I bought a used barrel and have been using it for the first time. I barreled up a batch of the Best of British Bitter two weeks ago (First time I had dry hopped a beer as well). I came to it tonight to try a sample, was as flat as anything and would only let me poor half a pint before...

Hi Darcey, I would be very interested in joining for a brew day, only live up the road from you near the Blossoms pub. I have move onto extract brewing a few months ago and hopefully will move onto AG towards the beginning of next year so would love to be able to see the whole process and ask...

Hi All, I have a few leftover hops and bits lying around and thought would put them to use. I wanted to make quite a hoppy beer but something round the low 4% side. This is the first time i have used brewing software to work this out and designing a recipe in general. Would this beer be too...

Just realised the original recipe I post was for a 42L brew. I will try the Beersmith recipe out. Thanks

Thanks for replying anthonyUK, I am looking to make 20 - 23 litres. Thanks

Hi All, I found this recipe in the recipes section and want to give it a try. Pale Malt - Maris Otter 9240g Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L - 504g Magnum 32g @ 70 mins Magnum 18g @ 30 mins Cascade 42g @30 mins Cascade 84g @ 15 mins It is a AG recipe but I'm only extract brewing at the moment, is...

Hi All, Does anyone know if any brews shops sell pre packaged hop kits? I have been looking at the following, but their standard shipping costs more than the product itself - http://www.thehomebrewcompany.co.uk/hbc ... -1640.html I have looked at several online shops so far with no luck, I...

Hi John, I made something similare to what you are thinking for your extraction system. I have done two Extract brews using my equipment and it has removed all of the steam. Cut a hole in the top of an old seedling germination lid that just luckily fitted perfectly onto the top of my boiler...

It is but the previous owners of the house when they installed it, didn't run it to the outside world. So it just recirculates the air through thin filters, bit pointless really. Glad I did have the setup, don't think I would of received any brownie points from the SWMBO if the house and the...

Hi All, Delved into to the world of extract brewing on Saturday, thought it was about time I gave it ago after kit brewing for 6 or so months. Made my own boiler and wort chiller using various guides on the net, a few test runs in the morning, only a few leaks to attend to and ready to go...

All the bottles are crown capped. What I will do later then is pop them open and added a little more sugar. Does a quarter of a teaspoon sound about right if they are 33cl bottles and the beer is already half carbonated?

Thanks all for your replies! Much appriciated :)
