It was still good to read

Not wanting to eliminate contact with the process, but A i am retired and cannot justify £600 to £1500 for the full system. B spending 6 to 8 hours brewing 40 pints is not really my thing, the process is enjoyable but there are limits

Very informative and yet amusing reply Thank you i enjoyed reading it 😂

I’m hoping to start in a small way with a basic 30 litre boiler with thermostat. I may get the bug and upgrade in future so the £60 outlay for a cheap set up is not an issue how ever i proceed in the future

I’m happy with 1hr mash n hr boil. Just can’t afford to spend £100s on full set up

Thats doable for me

I’ve looked on the malt master and the recipes just on there is staggering, i wish i still had my old old Dave Line book that i bought but never got to try lol

Keen to try this. I would guess its just the boiling phase i need to watch over

That sounds like a good plan

Thats good as the chillers are not cheap

I’ve seen video on YT Nige & Anders they had some geordie that had been 14 months in the bottle ! I can’t see me doing that lol

I’ve brewed a few MJ kits, Woodford Wherry, coopers ruby red porter and wilcos chocmeister stout. I have Wherry on the go now 3 days in and nothing bubbling in the air lock. Its 18 months old so yeast im guessing is past its best Also have 18 month old tinsel toes but going to get fresh yeast...

Hi all I’m looking for a different bitter kit to try, what would you recommend. Also i saw a review on YT they compared Wherry and Geordie bitter. They ranked them about even, although he admitted the Geordie was 14 months in the bottle. TIA

Lots of choice Old Reptonian

Our home really holds the heat, its a park home and is so well insulated, beer is in the spare room which is probably the coolest room, living room is typically 2 degrees warmer. Last summer living room got to 36 c during the heatwave
