Yes . :D If I remember rightly they had a 7 rating for bitterness. I used them a lot in the past as I enjoy strong larger. I got these cheap from LHBH as they only had a week left on the date. so hopefully they may have lost some of their pungency. This is why I basically bunged the lot in...

I started thinking I should be finished by about 1 am, most of the time I spent talking to my inquisitive wife who wanted to know everything I was doing and why. Which I didn't mind at least she's showing an interest. The KFC bargain bucket that arrived at 11 didn't help either. :D The gear...

Next time you want me to take your junk to the tip at least warn me before I clean them. :rofl: I use a twin handle but can normally just push them on/down without twisting the handles. Being big does have some advantages but don't take me pot-holing or hide and seek. :D I will imagine I'll...

Hi guys I love to experiment ( Don't laugh) I had a load of stuff knocking around in my brew cupboard and I have just made a really good ginger Ale/wine. It costs a little more than the usual but is well worth it especially if you like "Idris old Jamaica ginger beer" this stuff tastes as spicy...

Started at 7pm last night finished at 3 am this morning and boy am I cream crackered. I haven't got a clue what the brew is called as I used the only things I could get my hands on from the LHBS just to try out the equipment I got from PD on here. 4.5kilo of pale malt .5 kilo of wheat malt...

Cool video's man, loved the music.. :thumb:

I've got two of these and although they do deform when gassing it eventually pulls itself back together after a while as the CO2 absorbs into the beer. I accidently let the injector bottle squirt for 2 full second rather then one and it still held up. Despite being almost ball shaped. Make...

Just tried a few of these tonight and it is spot on. (I was spoilt earlier today by PD and one of his AG's) Quite bitter for a lager and approx. 7% ABV Not quite the malty flavour of PD's but very good. No longer like Carlsberg but real ale like. Probably the nicest kit I have ever made using...

Thanks mate. :thumb:

Darn wish I'd seen this sooner. I'm only an hour away. :thumb: If the mash tun falls through I will travel for both.

I used to do the Dave Line method in the early 80's. It would involve getting the biggest pan you could find and mashing the grain in a bag. I would personally get a second pan to make up the volume and when sparging your worts, :lol: You would run the second pan of water slowly through the...

It's all very well for you but in Yorkshire that teaspoon has to double up as a paint tin opener, screwdriver, desert spoon, tooth pick and ear wax removal tool not to mention nicking the edges off for the next weigh in at the scrapyard. It has to start off life slightly bigger. :tongue:

I've been looking at one of these in the UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Home-Brew-Stainless-Steel-50-L-Stock-Pot-Mash-Tun-HLT-BrewPot-HomeBrew-StockPot-/221212941358?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Food_SM&hash=item3381519c2e If the picture is anything to go by it looks quality as it has a complete top rolled...

I made this on the 14/3/2013 I've just cracked a few open tonight 22/4 and for a kit it's not bad at all. I brewed it full length with 500g of spray malt and 1KG of brewing sugar. It seems to be going down rather well in fact too well for a Monday night. :cheers:

I've used Muntons gold yeast which hopefully should stick to the bottom. :thumb:

5 gallon of pear cider. 5 gallon of Ginger and blackcurrant ale, strange brew type thing experiment. approx. 7%abv Not sure if the latter is classed as wine or ale but it does contain 1KG spray malt, 300g of lactose and a Wilco's red wine concentrate Write up to follow.

Thanks graysalchemy. A really good write up and interesting read. I am definitely going down that route. :thumb:

Thanks for that. :cheers: The last time I made cider it was a kit back in the 80's. It was dreadful even after maturing. I had to add a vial called "Cider Hexo flavour" or something similar before bottling. I'm really looking forward to trying this out. :thumb:

It sounds like the mother-in-laws gravy. Only less alcohol. :lol:

Can someone tell me if this is a two can kit or a single. Thanks.
