Good shout, yes it is and says "The bottled version is brewed at the same time as the cask beer and each vintage is unique and can also be kept and matured in bottle." and " Tally-Ho's Christmas cake richness and warmth lends itself to wintery, fireside evenings", the Christmas cake richness is...

A few years ago I made an ale based on Adnams Broadside, which is well documented in my Brew Days thread. I used the Adnams dual strain harvested from a mini cask of Broadside. It must be noted that at this time Adnam's sold 5L Mini Casks and also 5L Mini Kegs, the cask being properly cask...

Glad to hear you are happy with it, does it move much on top of the bucket? I can't wait for brew day now. I also have a scoop though mine is green ;)

I made the decision to start ordering grain uncrushed, I mean why not. I decided to go with the GF Electric Mill with bamboo board as it is compact and I reckon fairly effortless to use. I was going to buy from MM but they were out of stock which forced me to shop around and I found it for...

No, and I didn't say it was. I merely questioned your statement that Malt is cheap, I wouldn't call £40 for 25kgs plus delivery cheap.

Mine has a short length of plastic tube connected to the stainless coil with a jubilee clip and then normal hose connector on that. If it helps I can post a picture a bit later Oh by the way, make sure any connectors or outside of the kettle and the tube does not slope downhill into the kettle...

You don't say anything about your system, are you sparging? If not then that will increase efficiency. Not set up for sparging, not a problem, at the end of the mash drop it into a bucket, pour all your sparge water into the kettle with malt bag still in there, stir it well and leave for 5...

:laugh8: hmmmm

Well, I remember you like First Gold, though for that reason I didn't think you would use it as a bittering hop. Sounds nice.

Hey thanks just seen this, I'll check it out as I live not far from Buxton

Funny that this should pop up now when I am considering the first cold crash in a long time. I believe it is now recommended (by some) to lower the temperature by (don't quote me) 2 degrees a day, 1 degree at 12 hour intervals down to CC temp. At my current diacetyl rest temp. of 22 degrees that...

I was browsing on Geterbrewed yesterday and noticed most of the Crisp malt was 'Discontinued' with 'Substitute available'

Bishop's Finger

It is indeed, the MO is kept in a 60 litre barrel as above whilst the lesser quantity malts are kept in sealed top storage buckets. They are all crushed though.

That's how I got most of my bottles, beer from Aldi, if you use a decent capper with a lever you won't break any.

I let it ferment on the stir plate for 18 hrs and then turn it off and let it finish its ferment for another day, then if I have overbuilt it I shake it up and pour 500mls of the 1.5 litres I made into a sterilised mason jar. Then both go in the fridge. Next day I brew and decant the beer off...

I reckon to allow 3 days to make a starter from a liquid yeast. There are those that say pitch at high krausen, but if it hasn't finished fermenting out then the cell count possibly hasn't yet reached pitch rate yet. It also depends on if you have overbuilt the starter to keep some back for next...

I did one extract brew to test out my kit when I first started brewing, not done one since.

I do appreciate your p.o.v. and you make some very valid points which II am still considering. Cheers

The only time I have seen weevils was in my bowl of meusli at a hotel in Mallorca over 30 years ago.
