Hi, I'm about to begin my AG journey in Spain. Our well water isn't drinkable, so I'm going to be using bottled mineral water (€1.20/8 litres!!). However, the profile is quite a way away from your IPA profile (I'm starting with aMaris Otter/Cascade SMASH). The values are: Ca 65 Sulphate 55...

Selection of stuff I've found near our holiday home near Malaga. Gonna try a trip to Trinidad Brewpub in Alhaurin el Grande later today- fingers X"d for some nice, fresh beers!! The Mahou and San Miguel are ok, but the hop flavour seems a bit "synthetic" to me....

Shame that John Smith died when he did.... Obvs, for him too...!!!

I went into Wilko's Slough last Friday, and bought all 4 Gervin yeasts they had. Not much of owt else tho....

Should've gone AFTER Specsavers, maybe??!!!

They used to have a "Beers of the World" selection at the airport, but when I was there in February, there were only the usual (non)-favourites- Heineken, Peroni and Sol etc. Most disappointing...

1012-1010, so a bit to go... Temp now up to 21, may take a while in this weather!! Thanks both.

This is next to Spinneys supermarket (local Waitrose) by the Meydan Hotel....

Yes, we were gobsmacked! You have to register as a foreigner (passport required) but then it's easy. Fabulous selection too....

Hi all, happy Humpday! Found a couple of out of date Festival Summer Glory kits in the back of a cupboard couple weeks ago, so I knocked'em up, without the elderflower-cant stand the flavour- and started ferment with new Wilko yeast. Then went away for work, left'em bubbling away at 19°. Got...

What you doing in Dubai? I got back from there on Monday, been covering the horse racing at Meydan. Spent a FORTUNE on beer, but at least they had a nice, bready Pilsner (Höfbrau?) on draught in the hotel bar. ALSO, THERES A BOTTLE SHOP OPENED!!!!! How did THAT happen??!!!

AND the timer switch... Good thing with brands like that is spares are available...

You taking orders??!! LOVE this!

Made-14000, sold 5900. Not a great success, then ..!!!

So what treatment would you more experienced brewers treat, say, Ashbeck water for an IPA style? I've just dipped a toe into testing my tap water, and it's horribly hard- 252ppm Alkalinity and 150ppm Calcium...

Crisp MO extra pale and Citra, please. Merry Christmas!!

Hi all, happy Thursday!! Due to a malfunction of my STC 1000 controller not turning on the heating elements in my brew fridge, my latest brews got stuck at about 13°c for about 12 hrs after pitching. Now, 36hours later, there's no activity at all (*MJ M44 yeast). Is it worth re-pitching with...

Whereabouts in Spain are you? I live near Malaga, and it's been 'kin hot this Autumn, so I brewed a couple of Kviek IPA kits by Mangrove Jack. I bought them from Cocinista.es. The yeast works happily up to about 40°C, so maybe consider using these yeasts for summer brewing, if you haven't got...

What a fantastic idea!!! LOVE it!!
