Doom Bar always tastes like it’s been fermented too warm to me.

Promising the world with this year’s externally organised competition.

I knew the moment I tasted it that I’d cocked up 😂. It completely masked the subtle esters from the yeast for starters. First comp I entered it in 20g coriander, told it needed more, second comp 30g, told the same. Instead of just going up 5g at a time I took “inspiration” from a supposed...

My hazy oxidised 😞 Really need to get my counter pressure filling sorted - filled the bottles really fill this time out as well! 38 for the witbier. Happy with that. A little to much “lemony coriander herbal spice” which I already knew but the 2 competitions I’d entered previously told me I...

You’ll need to wait for them to put them up on the website. I don’t know my scores, just that I got an HM.

Honourable Mention for my Witbier for the second year running. Well done @Stu's Brews I see your IPA placed

I don’t even know what my entry numbers are, but I can’t see me repeating last year’s success. My witbier is over-spiced (feedback from last 2 comps was that it needed more spice), and Hazy IPA is usually a pretty tough category.

I’ve never had this problem, I find the spring on the purge button pretty strong and it closes easily. Only ever have a problem when I try to be too clever filling one handed and accidentally press the purge button while filling. Sounds like you might have a faulty one?

Rosettes should be available on the day for anyone going to watch the results surely? It all seems very suspicious - he must have been sitting on the prizes for months. I notice the Best of Show prize was supposedly being provided by the organiser’s bottle shop.

Do you find you spend time obsessing over getting every single detail correct when following a recipe, and meticulously noting everything down, slip-ups etc? Or after some months and years into the hobby do you adopt a more relaxed approach just go with the flow and expect some beers to be...

I could be tempted by this. Need to do a brew for my Homebrew club’s August challenge but I think one of the other beers I have lined up could be perfect for this.

I didn’t have tracking on mine just 24hr parcelforce

What photo is this? I follow them on Facebook and Twitter but can’t see a photo of entries received.

The App2Fire app can load apps to your Firestick from Android phone/tablet. I’ve never used it myself but a friend of mine used it to put an unnamed international TV app on mine.

I use Hobbyweld/Hobbybrew. They aren’t the cheapest (I wouldn’t say they are a rip off either) but have depots/retailers all over the U.K. I have 5 stockists within a 45min drive of my house.

Your efficiency will be affected. I know with ready crushed malt it tends to settle to the bottom but it’s part of the malt and there’s plenty of good stuff in there.

Did us a big favour this week. I was convinced our season was over 3 weeks ago and now we are 6th with a playoff place in our own hands! Ironically in what has been one of our most exciting seasons in years, the only match I’ve been to was a 5-1 home defeat to Stoke! Almost 8 hour round trip...

Any excuse for you to have a go at Kegland, even when someone has an issue with something that’s nothing to do with Kegland!
