I'm terrible for not taking notes, I keep a basic record of the recipe but then I end up chucking a bit extra here and there in. Keeps it interesting I suppose :D

Remember to write it down then, just in case it's amazing :D

After the shock of the FG reading being 1.090 I decided to chuck in two packs of Safale 05. Got it down to 1.014 I think? Lovely in small doses :)

My 2nd last brew was a smoked porter, was my first time using my mash tun and I badly undershot on the amount of sparge water used. Result was just shy of 10% :O Was nice though, and it got me into the habit of just one beer a night :D

I ran the recipe through Brewmate and it came out at 7% ABV and I usually hit or exceed Brewmates predictions so I'm quietly hopeful :)

I suspected the cheapo stuff from the supermarket would do, good to have it confirmed :) Bit concerned how my mash is gonna turn out though as it's 1.65kg of a 6.7kg grain bill :-? Only one way to find out I guess :D

Evening folks :) Having a go at Mikkellers Beer Geek Breakfast next and I'm putting my order together from geterbrewed (finally I'll get those hops I won :D) Anyway, the recipe calls for flaked oats and all GEB seem to have is malted oats. Same thing? It's a fairly large percentage of...

I won! Thanks to all concerned for a great comp, PM coming today MM, better get planning now :D

Go on then :D

Yes please :D

According to this you might get away with not drilling at all. http://www.berrybrew.co.uk/fermentation-fridge-build-brew-fridge/

Apologies in advance for the probably daft question, but am I right in thinking that all I need to do is plug a fridge and an aquarium heater into this box and set the temp? Seems almost too easy :D

Exact same thing for me tomorrow, I feel your pain :)

I'd avoid the Drygate one as well, very bland.

Excellent, really glad you liked it :) I agree that both our beers are better than most commercial ones I've tried, if you get the chance though try a Beavertown Black Betty, its a stunner :) I like the bottle swap idea, if you fancy doing it again sometime then I'm in, will have a...

1.064 - 1.012

Finally got round to trying your BIPA and I really enjoyed it, nicely carbonated and very refreshing. A little lighter than mine I think (both in colour and in roasty flavours) but none the worse for it. Sorry for the delay in sending mine, it's all packaged up now and will be at the post...

I try not to drink during the week so I'll be having yours tomorrow and sending mine on Saturday. Looking forward to your verdict!

Was away at the weekend but finally managed to pick my bottle up today, cheers! I'll send mine at the weekend when it should be ready :)

Sounds delicious :D
