Now it's sat at 1006, so may be bottling time mid next week. And tasting very much like a Saison should! I'll make sure I have a bottle with a decent yeast sediment in it to keep for a further brew - for Xmas perhaps! More when the taste test is done - about 5 to 6 weeks time Cheers :beer1:

As I mentioned in another thread; 'Just added the yeast I started from a bottle of Saison (Saison d'Erpe-Mere ) from brewery De Glazen Toren in Erpe-Mere, Belgium, I had to step it up 3 times to get what I think is enough yeast for the 22 lit. ' 2kg. Lager malt 2kg. Wheat malt 500grm. Munich...

Just added the yeast I started from a bottle of Saison (Saison d'Erpe-Mere ) from brewery De Glazen Toren in Erpe-Mere, Belgium, I had to step it up 3 times to get what I think is enough yeast for the 22 lit. I brewed this morning. Decanted the 'beer' from the starter and tasted it - very dry...

Yes! thanks. Boots sold everything in those days! Do remember not all CAMRA members are as hmm.. unknowledgeable as the guy in the clip :cheers7: Cheers

I made a 3 grain trippel for New year last October - didn't taste much like a trippel in the end but tasted very good anyway. used 2 carb drops per 500cc swing top bottle to carb up and that was fine after some 6 weeks in bottle. I've got 2 bottles left - I'll chill 1 and try it tonight Cheers...

I'm proud to call myself British, as my maternal line are all Scottish - as my Aunts from Fife would say 'you are a half and half'er ' :laugh8: However............. I love good Bitter beer and adore Cricket -what is more English than that! Also very fond of a 'wee dram' Best of all worlds IMHO...

Good thread, I'm stepping up a yeast from a 750mm bottle of Saison d'Erpe-Mere at the moment, may need another step up before ready for use. So I'm working on a recipe for a Saison also :thumb:

Worth a look at their website, 12 brown 500cc swingtop bottles for under£10 seems ok. And the beer kits look like a rebranded Mangrove Jack box. Pity they don't sell grain :cheers7:

Welcome to the forum, don't worry about your English - just enjoy brewingacheers. Cheers!

If you use a brew bag you can lift it out of the boiler and raise the temp. then pop the bag back in. You may have to rig up a simple 'A' frame lift using a small stepladder (as James Morton's book) to do this. Cheers

No, best of luck to them though, as Saturday will be nice up here we will go out for a long (free) local bus trip and do some shopping plus a pint at lunchtime.:cheers3: Cheers

Welcome to the forum -Happy brewing and drinking! :gulp: Cheers

All the very best, good to see you back Cheers

As an owner of a Peco digital boiler, I can testify that they work quite well. As they only have 1 - 2.5Kw element they do struggle to get a frantic rolling boil, but will boil 28lit of wort well if you lag the bucket. I use 2 layers of el-cheapo yoga mat on mine, strapped well down with duct...

A very neat looking setup! well done :hat: Cheers

Further to my previous post #1243 Mild all now in the fermenter, 22lit at 13brx. (converts to 1.0526) gives me a 78% efficiency. I think this is due to the fact that I mashed for 90min and for the first time did a mash out/dunk sparge for 20 min at 75c, a refractometer was used to do the pre &...

First try at a dark beer - a Mild 3kg. Maris Otter 400g. Cristal 120 500g oats - el cheapo porridge oats from the supermarket 250g. Black malt 500g. pale malt extract (leftover from my klit brewing days, still in date though) Mash at 66/67c, dunk sparge/mashout at 75c Mash Ph 5.5 30g.first wort...

Better the Devil we know, she won't go as she's just what the Tory party need - now she's the scapegoat for Windrush and Brexit now! But we could have Boris of course - Oh Sh&t!!! Cheers

Agreed! It will also be intimidating to patients and relatives of patients visiting the hospital. Moron is a polite description of the protesters.

Nowt new there then. But there are many very experienced brewers on the forum. However the kit may have changed, beer is still water, malt, hops, yeast, time and enthusiasm - welcome to the forum, and back to brewing!
