Welcome to the forum, where are you based North or South Island?. I have had lots of helpful advice from this forum.

That Video was the one that convinced me of how easy it was to make a fermentation fridge, and i now have two, one for conditioning bottles etc and one for fermenting which has allowed me to increase homebrew productionclapa

Hi Paul1084, in answer to your question, yes remove the malt pipe before adding the water to the wort. Yes i thought 7.85L was a lot but i did measure it out, i think most people round it up to 8.0L. The problem i had with sparging was that i didn't have a sparge arm/equipment etc so i put some...

Hi Paul1084, I've done 15 AG brews on my 30Ltr Brewdevil. Sadly I will only be able to answer parts of your first question, as I don't ferment under pressure. Firstly have you read any books on home brew, a good starting point is the Greg Hughes book " Home Brew Beer" it covers all the basics of...

Yes the Dennis Kings Galaxy Delight from MM is certainly up there in IMO as one of the best, only brewed it once so far, ordered another one recently and will be my next brew

Thanks for all the advice folks, much appreciated. That's what I like about this forum, always good friendly advice from other members

Hi All, recently purchased an AG Kit for an American West Coast Pale Ale, which has some great hops etc, however the recipe has a small amount of Magnum hops which it states are for the First Wort Hops. Read up about this but was not 100% sure I understood what was required, do I add them to the...

Hi Stu, Welcome to the forum, started AG brewing this time last year. Lots of useful info/advice etc from other members on this forum. Used to live in Leamington Spa about 25 years ago, I'm just down the road in Knowle now.

That recipe looks pretty good. I've done 8 AG brews so far, and they have mostly been pale ales etc. I've just done a Pale Ale that only had Galaxy hops for bittering and dry hopping. its almost ready for bottling etc. In your recipe you've used lactic acid in the mash, just as a matter of...

Having done 9 AG brews so far, with the majority being pale ales or bitters, I am now moving on to stouts and porters for the winter months. When bottling either stout or porter has anybody used muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar for priming. Does anybody know if I were to use these sugars what...

Hi All, Have done 8 AG brews so far since starting in Feb using the all in one Angelhomebrew equipment. For my water treatment additions have been using the calculator on the home page of this forum, this has worked fine so far with some really good results for pale ales, but my next brew will...

The lockdown centre of the West Midlands.......Solihull

Welcome back, where in Birmingham are you based

Welcome to the forum, loads of helpful advice here about going AG, i have learnt so much from other members advice

Welcome Chris, sounds like you have caught the homebrew bug. Good Luck with all your brews

Looks a great set-up, i have got a Brewdevil all in one system as well Did you make any changes to the recipe for the Kona Big Wave to suit the Brewdevil?

Malt Miller do a couple of AG kits based on Landlord, have only tried one but IMO was pretty good, worth doing.

Welcome to the forum, i echo the comments by DavieC. I returned to home brewing in Jan this year after a long gap of 25 years when i only did kits but now doing AG. The equipment/ingredients available in this day and age are in a different world to when i first started. Happy Brewing

Hi Tom, sorry for not replying sooner. Both kits turned out ok, but the recipe instructions were not correct, it might have been a case of a typing mistake on the paperwork etc, they also had instructions for sparging which i didn't do, just did full mash after updating the recipe instructions...

Welcome to the forum, have done quite a few AG kits from Malt Miller, never disappointed in quality of ingredients etc and the finished brew. Hope the allotment and hop growing is a success
