Young's Harvest Stout. Not yet conditioned but couldn't resist. Very very delicious

I didn't realise you were either! I usually use Brouwland in Belgium. Same postage costs....but I will check out thehomebrewcompany as never thought about Ireland. I don't even look at French suppliers as their kits are either overpriced or 5 litre full grain kits neither of which interest...

Thanks. I will indeed eventually get a some sachets....but working what I have as ordering here is expensive (for me) so I prefer to save up and order £100 (or euros) of stuff in one go, which will be in a few months. So in the meantime looking at getting the best out of the kits with what I have.

So yesterday I bottled and kegged my two fermenting brews. Both tasting good. Clearly I have caught the bug again as I am currently heating a can of Geordie Mild LME. I shall be brewing this short to 20 litres rather than 23 litres following some research. I was considering just mixing my last...

To be fair the Spoons real ale depends on the person running the cellar. I was a (short-lived) manager in a spoons and I ran the cask ales. Was always up to scratch. Would never eat in one (aside from the steaks) having worked there though! But they do serve a purpose. I miss Black Sheep was...

Thanks for that...tasted the sample and it was blooming lovely. A real coffee flavoured stout. I mean I am sure its not full mash homebrew like a lot of people here. But hey im proud so far. :beer1:

Good evening all! Just tested the gravity of a Youngs Harvest Stout I set off on the 9th March. The initial gravity was 1015......which I seemed to feel was very low: maybe just me. Ten days later it is at 1011. Making it currently at 0.53% abv. Should I be worried? Did I maybe misread the...

Around 35 litres. You put me all to shame!

All the neighbouring countries have suppliers just not France. Odd given to growth in popularity if microbreweries and craft beer here.

If youre worried about waxed lemons or limes just pou a kettle of boiling water over them. Wax is gone.

I must say I had never heard of it before living in France

Agreed.....you rock. Shoutout to mum, raised me and sister by herself and got me my first homebrew kit. She now has an OBE...hero

Mira Greenbacks. A french gluten free blonde beer at 5.6%. Good carbonation and slightly bitter.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had used the sanytol disinfectant (usually clothes etc) for sanitising equipment. I have litres of it here (dont ask)

Sorry @Tess Tickle's Brewery .... I have clearly lowered the tone

Especially if it's the au pair!

Lille is great for a pub crawl. I'll look into that one. That's the one thing I miss is finding 4-5%ers that have body aren't too sweet: struggle here.

Hello my friend! I shall look into that site then. Always useful to know. I have been using Brouwland for my rare orders or people visiting. I must I admit I am no beer loyalist...I like to try all different breweries. But there is a couple of good ones up here.

Good morning all...just set off a Cooper's Dark Ale. Sadly lost a pint or two while filling due to a knackered rubber seal, so quickly decanted into a new vessel. Brewed short to 20 litres in the end with 1kg of Better Brew brewing sugar. Shall see what this gives. Have three more kits (Youngs...
