In the interest of avoiding supermarkets I think I will leave them out this time around then! Thanks guys.

Flaked corn I don't have... would cornflakes cereal work? Never mashed anything like that...

Is there any point mashing the sugar? Does it convert in the tun, or can I just bung it in the boil?

Brilliant advice, thanks @MyQul I'm not used to small batches yet so getting my head around the amounts of hops still.

I like fizz myself, so I always go for about 12PSI. I usually force carbonate at 30 as I'm an impatient bugger!

Ok so it's time for BIAB experiment number 2. How about this idea for a light pseudo lager/cream ale? Could add something for head retention maybe a bit of flaked barley or wheat? 12L OG 1.037; 4.0 EBC; 14 IBU (.38 BU:GU ratio) 1.5 kg extra pale malt (Crisp clear choice - it's the only light...

I'm in thanks for running the giveaway!

I made this a couple of weeks ago as my first BIAB experiment. I ended up with SG of 1.038. It's now down to 1.007 and I've kegged it this morning. It smells and tastes quite a lot like guinness. Wow there's a lot of trub with BIAB! Think next time I might use some gelatine and cold crash for...

Thanks for the earworm!!

Good luck with your venture! I run an internet store (not homebrew related) and if I can offer any advice at all it is that good customer service = return customers. Also, assume that the couriers will play football with the parcels and package accordingly. Anything glass will need multiple...

Looks like they'll be stocking malts, hops and yeast from next month. Nice.

+1 for the Reuben, but Canadian style with Montreal smoked meat, sauerkraut, mustard and swiss cheese on dark rye bread.

Welcome in. Just putting my first stout in a corny this morning! Cornies are the best, you won't regret it! They do multiply though, just to warn you.

How do you waterproof the inkbird probes? Mine goes mental if it gets wet, and then I have to bake it in the oven for a bit to get it to read correctly.

I guess with stout the syrupy/toffeeish flavour of LME is desirable, whereas with light coloured beers it is the exact opposite of what you want.

Is that with your dried yeast? I'm giving drying a go for the first time today. Got my fingers crossed it works!

Yeah I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Something about the syrupy-ness of LME (if that is a word) imparts that flavour.

Yeah for sure, I'm pretty convinced all the kits I have tried were cheap as chips.

Just going to throw this out there, but the only time I've had homebrew that didn't taste like homebrew, was when it was all grain rather than kit. I might be really unpopular with this comment though!

Yeah it's more expensive now than when I got it, IIRC it was £120 at the time in a sale. I'd spent more than that over the years on replacement stovetop ones/filters/seals so thought what the heck. BTW have you replaced the seal and filter in the old one? I did and it helped for a bit...
