    Electric guitar for a beginner?

    I started off when I was a kid on a Squier strat. That's a good guitar to start out on imo. Set it up with low action and it just glides up the fret board. Later on got a Les Paul, which was great but a lot heavier, not really for beginners, but sounds fantastic. These days I only tend to play...

    Starting a brewery in an old pub

    Sounds exciting! I think a lot of pubs these days make their money on the food. Don't think you make much profit on a pint after the tax man has taken his cut.

    Starting a brewery in an old pub

    I remember this show it was Ben Fogle: Make A New Life in the Country. Definitely worth a watch if your thinking of starting a new brew pub. One of my local micro-breweries has been very successful by canning his beer. He doesn't do it himself. Another company collects the beer in 1m3 IBCs and...

    Flat Bland Kolsch

    Probably just not warm enough to carbonate then. Bring them in the house for a week. They will be fine. Never tried CML Kentucky before, but just googled it and it is quite a clean yeast. I usually use safale k97 for kolsch and it has a very distinctive flavour. If it is bland try that next...

    Flat Bland Kolsch

    100g sugar in 18L should be enough to give it a good fizz. Have you had the bottles inside for 4 weeks or in the garage. If you’ve had them in the cold, try storing them somewhere warmer for a couple of weeks. The other thing it could be is did you give it a stir after adding boiled sugar into...

    Bottling Before Fermentation Is Complete

    Fermentation should be well over after 3 weeks. The solvent taste and the gushing bottles suggest to me it was infected.

    Beer on tap under the stairs

    Don't know why I've never thought of this before. After getting fed up with going out to the garage in rain, wind and snow, to pour myself a pint from a keg, i have drilled a 12mm hole through the wall in the cupboard underneath the stairs, through to the garage. Don't need a kegerator in the...

    Cestrian Brewday

    Just got a keg come free so got a pale ale on today. This was a bit of a user-upper on the malts. Bottom of a sack of pilsner and bottom of a sack of marris otter and a generous slice of munich, but still got 75% efficiency. This came out a beautiful copper colour. Hoping this will go well with...

    Brewing with Motueka

    That sounds like it might be Sorachi Ace. That is a love it or hate it kind of hop. Described as lemongrass and dill. Still got half a pack in the freezer that I don't know what to do with.
