East Kent Golding's and Challenger. Can't remember the amount of each.

Apart from the terrified wheat this is still bugging me lol. Never tried BIAB before but could I do the following... Mash full grain bill in 14L of water Batch sparge in 2 maybe 3 L of water to aim for a boil volume of 14/15 Litres. I'm aware this will make my brew pretty strong so the plan...

Glad to know it won't go to waste then. Just checked and I've got a 20L pan so dont really want to be making a full batch might have to split some of it up to make a smaller batch. Was hoping for it to be quite dark as I wanted to.do the porter first. Also got EKG and some challenger to go into it.

It is nearly Halloween after all. Fair enough I'll just throw it all together and see what happens.

Just checked the recipes and this is what I've ordered... Pale Maris Otter - 3.75kg Dark Crystal Malt - 175g Crystal Malt - 100g Chocolate Malt - 171g Brown Malt 150g Terrified Whet -175g It's not far off the full bill for the brown Porter I just don't know what effect the terrified wheat will...

Oh dear, the recipes are quite similar so I may be able to salvage some kind of porter out of it. I'll check the recipes and see later.

Made my first ever order from Get Er Brewed last week. Was impressed with the build your own all grain kit so decided to use that to order some grains and hops to make up two different half batches in the Greg Hughes Book. The Brown Porter and the Yorkshire Bitter. Being my first time I just...

Being an absolute BIAB beginner, what is a batch sparge? My plan was to drain the bag into the cooking pot after mashing in it, squeeze the bag and then boil.

Just ordered some stuff off Get Er Brewed you can create your own all grain kit which I thought was really good. Ford time buying stuff like this so not sure how competitively priced it is. Delivers was £6.95 to mainland UK but looked like it will be shipped express. I guess I'll find out on Monday.

It does say right at the top you can use one pan as long as it holds over 6.5L. But then continues to say you need 3 pans by the look of it lol. I vaguely remember someone saying their online instructions were easier to follow.

Blast from the past that stuff. I worked for Diversey about 6 years ago and they've since 'streamlined' their chemical offerings and changed branding so should be under a different name. Good stuff if you can get it though.

Believe me I'm sorely tempted.

Just ordered grains from GEB for a half batch of the Brown Porter and a Half batch of the Yorkshire Bitter. Just need to find some child free time to tie up the kitchen hob for a few hours.

Thanks to this thread I've dug out my book and spent an hour flicking through. Never done AG before and this will be my first time brewing since doing a few kits about 5 years ago. Will be giving BIAB a try and hopefully brewing half batches of the American Wheat, Dark Porter and anything else...

Just got that through the post myself. Looking forward to getting the kit brewed when I get round to it. Did it taste any good out of the sample jar?

Rockshore Irish Lager. Bland cheap 4% lager, does what it says on the tin, lovely.

Should be arriving Wednesday. Comes with a pot that's described as a brew kettle. Saw it up for $120 on their official website. Out of date or not I'm definitely giving the kit a go.

Just came across a starter kit for cheap. It's a Northern Brewer kit which comes from the US I believe. Comes with a kit as well but the kits are past sell by date. Home Brew Essential Starter Kit | eBay

They were a bit sour roughly two weeks ago and I was hoping they had sweetened up a bit by now.

I've recently come across a grape vine on my Allotment site that's on common land and has basically taken over a Tree and filled it with Red Grapes. Ever since I've been toying with the idea of trying to make some wine out of the grapes. I have no idea what type they are apart from them being a...
