Thanks. Think that's what will be happening at weekend 😅. I'd better stay off the beer for this one!!!!

Just did a rolling boil test on the hob. A few bubbles rising but wouldn't say rolling!. Sounds like its going to be more complicated than anticipated. Didn't expect to come away with a kit, Wanted some grains and hops and a bit of advice on a small batch recipe upto 15/16 L or so. Thanks for...

Thanks Clint. Yes was wondering if I could split it. Certainly wont go to waste. Just need someone to talk me through it 😅

That's what i thought. Yes will be a biab. Wouldnt bother if I had done stuff like this before but really annoyed now. More at myself lol. Sorry it's my crappy phone pic. Will try again

Hi there. Done quite a few kits now and recently aquired a 19l stainless steel stock pot as fancy taking the next step to all grain. The thing is the kit i plumped for is the Brupaks All grain Chateau blonde (vol 23l photo attached) to be honest it's all alien to me. The guy at the homebrew shop...

Well after a break of about 8 months due to being mad busy. Managed to get this on a few days ago. Looking forward to tasting this one and catching up with things on here:)

I stuck one of these on last Sunday. Had it on a heat pad overnight then took it off as went to 24oc (Think 18oc is the ideal temp). Was bubbling nicely for a few days. Prob leave it 2 week before bottling. Im going to do some bottles with vanilla extract (in the bottle) as recommended by the...

Elbow grease is great. I use it all the time on my plastic fermentation vessels. Was scrubbing for ages to get a krausen ring off with no avail. Then tried that a min later it disappeared without me touching it. It just ran off. I squirt everything with that. Give it a quick clean . Swill off...

My first ever brew was a Cooper's Mexican cerveza. Not bad at all. Was missing something though. Don't think I was happy with my carbonation and maybe hops next time. Will definitely be in a keg too!!

Hi Rod. Haha great minds think alike. I would have picked one up myself from there today only i was held up at work longer than expected. I've got 23 litres of Coopers european lager that just happen to be ready this weekend. Would be great to test the keg outacheers.

Sounds like a lucky day Indeed. I've been trying to hold back lately, But a quick trip after work today cost me over £100 on a Co2 cylinder and regulater for the corny keg that I'll be buying no doubt tomorrow!!!!. As they say you can't take it with you!!!!

I'm after the same, Plus a corny keg. Place near me Chorley gas want £80 altogether.£50 Deposit And £30 for gas. Just 20 mins away a place called bossgas in Wigan do it for £65 £50 dep and £15 for gas. Both food grade etc. Only 2 places I have tried what a diff in price. The deposit seems a bit...

Well you learn something everyday. Thanks for that athumb..

Just seen this. I'm looking into getting a keg myself to cut down bottling times and space (Too many bottles on cupboards). Just one question. How does kegging get over the sediment issue? I know my bottles have sediment in them when I'm filling. Just curiousacheers.

I had a job n half trying to get labels off demijohns and a plastic Fv yesterday. Used one of those crappy green rough sponge thingies and just turned the glue green! Going to try non permanent marker pen next time I think.

Hi pal. Yes definitely! It's a great place and the couple who own it are very friendly and knowledgeable. A lot more stuff stocked in Leyland too. You just have to remember the opening times. Closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and open Thursday Friday and Saturday. Not sure about Co2 as don't...

Hi Rod. No I had to nip to Bolton train station this afternoon. There's a HBS about 1.5 miles away so ended up calling in. It's called spitting feathers. Been once before when I was in the area as you do!

Will do Clint Cheers. I always tend to give them a bit longer just to be Safe :)

Yes can't wait to try this one. The guy in the shop said it was good. And everything you needs the box. This time next year hopefully will be making my own like you guys acheers.

Couldn't decide what to pick up from the HBS today . Ended up with this little number
