So I've gone against the idea of adding the Chia/Plum and Sugar after having read some info the oily, gelatinous nature of Chia seeds. Instead I've just added 0.9kg of Plums, which I've blitzed in the blender. Fingers Crossed.

0.96kg of Plum.

Plum pulp from Blender

There isn't any pectin in it. I didn't have any but did add Chia seeds so its 700g of chopped plums, 300g brown sugar and a few teaspoons of seeds which I imagine will fall to the bottom. I'm gonna do it. So will let you all know the result. Just on adding fruits during the fermentation. I'm...

Hi All, I have a thought that some off you might be able to help with? I made about 1.5kg of a plum jam but it didn't include any pectin so it's basically a plum and sugar concoction. It tastes very nice, I had some on my porridge the other day. Basically, I didn't reach the high O.G I was...

Just thought I'd stick this in here as it's relevant for recipe creation. When you're left with grain and hops from a brew day, what do you do? I've got a mish-mash of things left over and obviously want to put them to good use i.e Make Beer but batch sizes are quite large to get through (the...

Can you share the recipe please? Lovely colour!

Coopers Cerveza! Brewed 9th Dec / Bottled 16th Dec! 4.6% and going down nicely! Cheers!

Just a note on this. I now put about 5 litres of boiling water into my mash tun (cooler box style) to heat it up while I heat my strike water. I've had temps of around 60-75 degrees in the mash tun before pouring the 5l of water into a bucket for cleaning other equipment then quickly getting the...

I'm really sorry but this had made me laugh so hard this morning! I really feel for you but you tell it so good! I'm thinking of investing in the Grainfather soon but never factored in the 4 hour staring matches I'll have to have with it lol! Hope you get it sorted! Cheers.

SO...the brew day has been and gone! I'm not totally sure how this one's going to turn out given the change to the hop types and aim for the recipe. I've made a vlog of how it went which can be seen here: I'd appreciate any help/advice/pointers you might have. Far from thinking this was going...

Hi All! Brew day awaits! I’ve just been down to the home brew store and picked up the malts for the recipe I’ve created above for a Porter! Aiming for around 6% or over if I can as I want something quite warming for the weather that’s about to come! It’s Saturday afternoon (I’ll be brewing...

Here’s the recipe creation sheet of my first own-made Porter!

Cheers Dutto! Looking forward to getting involved!

Hiya! My name is Daryll but ever since I wondered off out of Uni, where I was rarely seen, I've gone by the synonym DaryllLand, which was given to me by a friend for the reason I've just given...I was never to be seen in class so when my teachers asked where I was, the response would be "he's...
