I have had two brews infected with this, a Berliner Weisse and a Dunkel Weizen. Being a tight git I couldn't bring myself to bin them so just bottled them. I have to say they tasted more bitter than neat lemon juice! 😖 My elderly neighbour wanted to try one as he likes a sour beer. He very...

I normally manage to get my wheat beer glasses from car boot sales

Gives a whole new meaning to the saying " are you pleased to see me or is that a hydrometer down your trousers" 🤣

Thanks for the info 👍

Thanks for that. How do I make a starter medium?

My first attempt at saving yeast. It's from a wheat beer using WB-06, all grain. I've seen photos of saving yeast but they all seem to have 3 layers, whereas mine has obviously got 2. It was a 12l batch and after racking into secondary fv, I just swirled around the trub at the bottom and dumped...

I use the green Koparberg bottles from my local, they are more than happy to get rid of them. And the labels just fall off after a quick soak 👍

Silver Sharpie and remove with WD-40 🙂

When I first had a go at home brewing back in 1972 (!) Most of it tasted liked s***e. No heat control, etc.

I once removed the label from a bottle of Heinekien, glued one of my own labels on it and gave it to my mate who would only drink lager. He was very impressed and said that it tasted just like a commercial lager. He told everyone what a fantastic home brewer I was! I never told him 🙂

So am I 🤣🤣🤣

First time I've seen that thread and as I was reading it my missus said "what are you laughing at" when I told her, she replied "isn't it about time you grew up?" Have to say that I have been drawing my state pension for quite a few years now. I'm still laughing at some of the replies 🤣😄🍺😳😂

Joy's of parenthood 😄

That's what I do 👍

I got a load of Tesco's Golden Sugar. I'm definitely going to try this recipe. Cheers 👍

Cheers! 👍

What is 750g of gs?

I had to check the date after reading "bird mix from Poundland" Really? I'm interested, can you post the recipe? I only tend to do 10l all grain brews now.

My second attempt at all grain (?) brewing. I made a small batch, 10L, and added 25grms. of hops at the end of the boil. I placed a straining bag in the FV and poured the wort into it and it took ages to strain, in fact after about 15/20 mins. hardly anything filtered through. I bought two...

Didn't really think about that.
