1. Nope, but there are more varieties. I use dry for most beers, but liquid for when I'm after a particular yeast driven output 2. You can definitely save ca$h, given that liquid yeasts are ~£7 a pop. If you're pitching onto a yeast cake, or onto recently gathered yeast, the yeast will likely be...

I'd urge a bit of caution here if you're using glass toy marbles. Some idiot I know (totally NOT me*) poured boiling water over some glass marbles to sanitise and was met with a chorus of splintering glass marble death! *I may have been somewhat involved** **Approximately 100% involved...

Ha! Not sure what we 'should' call them, but Sour seems a bit of a vague term to me. It pretty much covers everything including BWeiss, gose, kettle soured quick turnaround face crunchers, lambic, spontaneous ferments, etc. Etc. So from a practical POV, it's not particularly useful. From a more...

Yeah, I quite like the Mariage Parfait, but my preference is always the standard Oude Geuze. Really well balanced tart/funk. I'm not a fan of overly sour beers (or even the term 'sour beer' tbh, but that's a different matter!)

Get on the Boon! Don't forget to pitch the dregs ;)

Yeah, it's the LSE comp. Can't get down there I'm afraid (though I am planning to go to BrewCon in Nov), so it's got to be postal. Good thinking on the PET. Unfortunately I'm submitting a mixed fermentation bretty saisony kind of thing so it needs to stay in pretty heavy glass bottles. Cheers...

Yeah, the comp I'm looking at wants a minimum of 3 bottles summing to 1500 ml. Probably going to send 1 x 750 & 2 x 375

Cheers all. Pretty resounding Royal Mail support then!

Hi all, I'm hoping to enter some competitions this year for the first time. Hopefully get some useful feedback on my brews. I suspect this has been asked before, but nothing came back on my search. Can you good folk flag up any couriers you've had success with in delivering bottles for...

Bottled last night. Recipe was a hoppy IPA, which I'm going to call a Pale Ale given the minimal bitterness but very fruity flavour. The orange from the kveik really compliments the fruit from the Mosaic, Citra and Mandarina Bavaria. Looking forward to opening one of these once it's carbed and...

Not much beyond herbs here. Redcurrents haven't produced a single fruit. Same for gooseberries pear & apple. Did get about 5 raspberries last year, so definitely worth the effort(!)

Yep, that one's recently been added (somewhere on the right hand side in the pic in my previous post). Not had much more than a browse through yet, but looks a useful resource!

Ha! Spot this week's additions! Great minds and all that ;)

Homebrew Love Brewing, 591 W Derby Rd, Liverpool L13 8AE - decent enough homebrew shop. Covers the majority of basics. Dry yeast only Breweries Gibberish brewpub, 15 Caryl Street, Liverpool, L8 5AA Mad Hatter Brewing Company, Lightbody St, Liverpool L5 9UU

Had a gravity check: from 1.054 to 1.009 in 4 days. Had a taste. Tasted 'OK'. Would probably be more palatable if I wasn't sipping the liquid at about 30 degrees C :confused: Plenty of fruity flavours in there though.

Just checking: Did you plug 35°C (or whatever you fermented at) into your priming calc?

Not yet. Going to check gravity this eve I reckon, so will sample then. Don't have much in the way of temp control, but will try to get it as close to ~20^C as possible for DHing

Finally got round to brewing with kveik. Brewed an APA/IPA based on the recipe here (http://brewgr.com/recipe/50248/tropical-juice-kveik-ipa-norwegian-farmhouse-american-ipa-recipe?public=true) Brewday went reasonable enough. Deliberately under-pitched from my vial of Gjernes Kveik* and popped...
