Welcome to the forum! Nice to see another Mancunion 0n the forum, and you can indeed get all the basic kit you need from Wilco. If you are close to the Chorlton area there is a good home brew club - meets once a month Cheers

That's what most writers and vloggers think - 7 day max.

We used to sing this in a folk club years ago - ah! the happy days of my youth! It is of good ale to you I’ll sing, And to good ale I’ll always cling. I like my mug filled to the brim And I’ll drink all you’d like to bring. Chorus (after each verse): Oh Good Ale, thou art my darling, Thou art...

Do you wish to use it as a hop spider in the boil, or to dry hop during fermentation? Pellet hops will swell in both cases, and dry hopping in the corny keg, won't you have to leave it in all the time - with the risk of having a 'grassy' taste after a week or so as the max dry hop time is about...

Agreed! Hope you can stay Terry, but if not - Happy Brewing! Cheers

I will miss the Stockport HBS - bought all my equipment from there, Peco boiler through to my Corny Kegs etc. There is a good shop in Burnley https://burnleyhomebrew.co.uk/index.php?route=information/contact Nice people there also And 2 more in Manchester https://julieshomebrew.co.uk/...

I rather like the intro song, I like beer too! and have found your videos very useful. And - rather belated - welcome to the forum! Cheers

Just finishing the mash of my first brew for this year, a Burnley Home Brew mashkit for A Timothy Taylor Landlord. I've been lazy over winter - just drinking last years brews. Little left now so must brew 1 a month for the next few months! Cheers :beer1:

As I have a 75cl. bottle of Lentebier, from brewery De Glazen Toren in Erpe-Mere, Belgium, I want to try an copy it, by cultivating the yeast from the bottle - I've done this before with a bottle of Saison d'Erpe-Mere, and it made a superb beer. However I could do with a recipe for the grains &...

Sounds like you are not too far from the British Museum - if so try the Museum Tavern, just opposite the main entrance, good food and beer. I would walk there when staying in Gower street (but I was in me 20's then) did go recently though an it was still good, and I plan to go there for lunch...

Agreed!

Sinclair ZX 81 Acorn Electron - great for Elite! Atari 64 PS 1, 2, 3 Now PS4 Cheers

Yes - not cheap, but in Belgium, I pay about the same for a Trappist beer in most bars, after all It's not a session beer, it's a sit down and saviour the taste beer! Price in Manchester is about £5 a bottle in the bar, in Belgium (for a similar beer) between 7 to 9 euros - I'm off to there end...

Went out on my monthly 'man lunch' with a mate on Tuesday, - nice lunch a few beers & lots of natter (put the world to rights) - you know the type of thing I'm sure. And in 'Bar Fringe' in Manchester's Northern Quarter we found this...

Nice! Welcome to the forum :cheers3:

Try some PTFE tape on the post, this worked for me on a leaking connection, I assume that it's the ball lock connection that's at fault.

Try a thinner mash, I use 3.5 to 4 lit. of water per kilo of grain. Also the loss in the mash tun will be about 4 lit. for the usual (4 to 5 kilo) of grain per brew. I now mash for 90 min. drain the mash tun then dump 12 lit of water at 78c for a 10 min mash out / dunk sparge and get 70%...

Yes, I can't stand lettuce as well

Yes Dads_Ale. I'd thought along this line also, as most will be in PET bottles I'll be able to check this. Cheers

Summer Hols for us is mostly sat at Old Trafford watching Lancs, County Cricket Club, interspaced with days out etc. As we are 'oldies' we can only afford short holidays now, but off for a week in Belgium (Ostend & 'Ypers') end of Sepember - Beer Heaven! :cheers7: Cheers
