Thanks was it any particular brand?

I paid the one-off fee which was $5 I think I figure that if people spend time and effort on developing a product & it’s worth having (if it’s a small cost) it doesn’t hurt to pay it.

I also love a good label. I also use the free version of canva which has some really nice labels free.

I have an an HP colour laser jet mfp m283 which I use to print my labels onto adhesive paper. It’s brilliant.

I’ll have this if it is still available. I will pm you.

First sourdough in five months. Had to beg some new starter from a friend.

I generally find that erring on the side of caution and leaving it in the fermenter a bit longer to clean itself up a bit leads to better beer. I doubt it will matter if the hop bag is in a few more days but you could always remove it if you were worried. I always tie my hop bags so you can...

I’ve just been given a Brewmonk for Christmas (hooray!!) and did my first brew on Thursday. I used 20 litres of water to 4.5 kilos grain to mash - not quite full volume. Presumably due to the constant pumping through the grain bed after an hour the resultant liquid was impressively clear. I...

Lucky you to have been gifted a brew monk . I would keep it as simple as possible until you decide if you like the hobby. You don’t really need a grain crusher as it’s very easy to order the grain pre- crushed. So what you have suggested is probably enough.

Ha, ha, wish it was. Slightly warmer than Warrington though. The main thing in our favour is no lockdown. But it’s a bit like the Hotel California nowadays- you can check out any time you like ... but you can never leave!

I brewed out on the deck yesterday afternoon - it took a while for my new Brewmonk to get up to temp but it did eventually- which I was pretty impressed with.

Not forgetting Guernsey

Looking forward to reading them all Drunkula 🤣

I would agree with this. Mash and boil in the trusty peco. Simply hoist out the mash bag , sparge carefully through the bag and then commence your boil all in one vessel. But your original plan will work just will take a bit longer with a bit more clean up.

Well if it tastes good - none of that matters!

Looks lovely Lisa - did you post the recipe?

Obviously I’m more interested in drinking beer than maths 🤣

There is also 1 litre of concentrated grape juice for 13:99 on eBay.

I would highly recommend James Morton’s Book - Brew. Lots of pictures (really helps me!), easy, not too much technical stuff and enjoyable to read and I haven’t made a bad beer from it yet. I wouldn’t boil your MJ kit - it’s not intended to be boiled again and it will likely affect the outcome...
