If anyone has a steel GB hlt I might still be interested. I know this is a long shot but worth a try...

Brand new igloo 50l mash tun never used. Currently no valve attached... can be arranged... would happily swap for 2nd hand electric (purpose built) boiler. But I do have other bits and bobs ie kegs, co2 caps, FV'S and glass bottles. I basically have too much stuff so if you are in need and...

I have 4/5 pressure barrels with some co2 caps. An electric probe thermometer (brand new not taken out of packaging). If anyone would like to swap let me know. I also have 1 or 2 spare FV'S I suppose? Drilled with gromit installed for airlock... Pm me if interested. Cheers ash

I live by j27 M1. Various sizes. They don't fit my crates. Free to collect otherwise I'll recycle them some clear most brown. Some still with labels on. Some with swing tops. Pm me if interested.

Oh and also I only use fuggles, goldings, EKG and occasionally Styrian Goldings. I don't like high alpha hops but a little citra at the end can be very pleasant! !!

I like a copper English bitter but I have a recipe (self created) that uses a little citra at the end of the boil and works brilliantly.

Hi, I have been AG brewing since the end of December but not brewed for a while. Does anyone local fancy a joint brew day? Kits/ag brewers alike of course would just be nice to share the experience and/or pick up a few tips. I haven't brewed for a couple of months and I've run out of brew...?

Sorry for the extreme lateness of this but the homebrew store/shop sent me a replacement cool box (minus tap and fittings) plus a free mash kit and new thermometer (which I won't use because I own a thermapen) but f*cling fair play to them although they were sceptical they read the thread and...

Hiya mate, Sorry for the lateness of this reply but you should always wait until fermentation has stopped. This one does go down quite low but while it's bubbling, LEAVE IT. When the hydrometer reding is the same for 2 to 3 days you are ready for bottling/kegging. Even then you have at LEAST...

you shouldnt get any difference in priming between the two sugars. If anything granulated sugar will take longer to prime because the yeast has to break it down into fermentable sugar where as brewing sugar is already fermentable and available for the yeast to eat straight away...

This is the only lager i did. I made to 40 pints and used a kilo of LME and 500g brewing sugar. While it was o.k. i wont make it again. I only made it for a home brew party for lager drinking friends but they all drank the turbo cider and the real ale. Adding more sugar might make it a bit more...

I've just tried the timothy taylor clone i made. Its a bit watery and only 3.6% instead of the 4% it should have been. Due to mash problems as mentioned do you think?

Many thanks buddy. Advice is much appreciated. I will call them tomorrow. Thank you once again 😉

phew, that's good then :hat: even if there is a twang it will be a while before i get round to drinking that :drink:

Well, i pitch strike water at 76c, and added like 500ml of cold water after doughing in to get the temperature to 66.1c. after 90 minute mash i was getting a reading on the thermapen of 60.2c. This is the mash tun i have... http://www.thebrewshop.com/contents/media/l_deluxe_mash_tun.jpg In...

i cant see a way to removed the inner panel on the lid unfortunately. i now have a thermapen and got accurate temp readings. i lose a lot more than a couple of degrees. i lose 6c in 90 minutes. i poured 2 kettle loads of boiling water in to heat it up, and i can see steam coming out from the...

OH NO!!! i used about 200g of sugar in the mild as per instructions :-(

i just use little removable labels. i get 40 labels per sheet and i run them through the printer. i put the name of the beer, how long in the fermenter. bottle date and abv on there.

I'm quite lucky really. SWMBO bought me my equipment for my birthday, and i don't work weekends so i have been spending every saturday brewing a batch and bottling another. I'm sure this won't be allowed to continue but i pretty much stopped making batches to cover batches that got drunk in...

I've done the gales festival mild, which i'm bottling this weekend. do you replace the sugar with pale malt gram for gram? i'm planning on doing the ringwood old tom recipe in the next couple of weeks... i think from memory it uses 550g of white sugar. would i just use an extra 550g of pale malt?
