I have just made something very similar to this, only difference being that I used lager malt, and kolsch yeast. Plus a little bit of Munich. I would expect your recipe to turn out very similar...... Mine is very good, if I say so myself

I would give a Saison yeast a go. In fact I have just done something similar; half kolsch : half Saison. The Kolsch is bottled and drinking, the Saison will be bottled tomorrow. I did up the hops quite a bit ( 500g motueka in 100l) vs. a true to style kolsch, but apart from that I didn't...

Best thing David Cameron ever said 'too many tweets makes a ****'!.

Pelforth yuk !.

Volvo S60 d5 is worth looking at, the d5 engine is renowned for going on for ever. When I was looking for mine I saw one for sale with 660,000 miles on it. 6 cambelt changes and 46 services. It was still on original engine/gearbox. You see loads for sale with 200,000+ miles. Mine cost in...

Same experience here, started at 1.060, finished at 1.020. Tried stirring, upping temp all the way to 30c, nothing......after a couple of weeks of inactivity have put a pack of mangrove jack's Saison yeast in and is us fermenting away, down to 1.010 and is continuing to ferment. As mentioned...

It was charrington IPA at 93p a pint, 1987, I was 14 at the time........

Brewers Select.

Brewers Select are the cheapest I have found, if you are happy to buy a full 25kg sack. Lager and Pale malts are only £12.40 per sack. I collect in person, so I don't know how much postage is, from other threads on here I think it might be quite high, as they are really geared up to serve...

A slightly quirky one I have enjoyed is The man in the high castle, loosely based in the book by Phillip K Dick. Set post ww2, the Germans won the war and have occupied the US. The Japanese occupy the west coast. Another vote for Dexter, SoA and Ray Donovan. I did enjoy house of cards but...

Another way that I have chilled small batches is to boil some water to sterilise, then put in the freezer in an appropriately sized starsanned Tupperware. You can then drop the ice straight into the wort and stir. That, combined with sitting your brew pot in a sink of iced water will chill...

I would suggest you take a look at Malt Miller. Whilst postage isn't free they do have a 2016 hop sale at the moment, some are getting on for half price. Post for up to 600g is only £3.60

I would recommend you go for it then. It is a lovely beer.

It is very well balanced, doesn't taste that strong at all. I shared some with some friends who are amateurs, after a couple they slurred that it was about 5%. So don't make it if you don't want to get plastered, but don't don't ( apologies for all the don'ts!) Make it because you are worried...

Ditto - me too

Have a look at the Bertus Brewery blog site. He has loads of IPA's including 4 iterations of Pliny the Elder, plus a couple of Pliny the younger. I have tried versions 2 and 3 of PtE, both turned out really well and pretty much the same. I have also tried his milk stout, kolsch and a couple...

I have tried it a couple of times and been very pleased with the outcome. Have a look at the Bertus Brewery blog, I followed the second and third versions on his site. If you like brewing IPA's there is plenty more on that blog to inspire you. I have also done his milk stout, kolsch and a...

I have had a similar experience recently. The funny thing is that in my case it was a swap from using the 2 big Irish suppliers to Baird's/Brewers Select. As a result I currently have 100 litres of 6% Kolsch fermenting!. The great thing is that the grain only cost £12.40 for 25kg (I...

Might be worth double checking that your hydrometer is taking an accurate, would explain a lot if not. Try dropping it in water at roughly 20c and see how close to 1.000 it is reading

The Jesus Lizard at The Princess Charlotte, Leicester about 1994. Best gig i have ever seen, by a mile. Worst, Manic Street Preachers - i liked some of their songs but live they were dull dull dull
