As I'm (currently) only brewing in small batches I often have to over order on ingredients for the size of the batch I'm doing, leaving me with leftovers. I've read elsewhere that hops can be frozen if sealed in zip lock bags, whilst others suggest storing them like that in a fridge is fine. I...

My latest label... :lol:

Not heard of it but love the name - assume the thought is that it makes you salivate? :) Moorhouses White Witch for me this evening - 2 in the pub and few more in bottles at home. Noticeable difference between tap and bottles but both very agreeable :thumb:

What an amazing thread! :lol:

Lovely gesture geetee - excellent description too :thumb: Mick - Hefewheat champion of the world :thumb: :lol:

I've had some beers with not much head before - I've currently got a beer fermenting so want make sure I get the carbonation and conditioning processes right. 2 weeks for each step? What are the ideal temperatures please?

Does anyone else name their brew? I like to gift some of the bottles I brew to family for Christmas, Birthdays or as a Thank You for something. I therefore usually come up with a name for each beer and, if I have time, design a label for the bottles too. All but one of my own recipe beers...

I often leave things soaking in the steriliser for quite a bit longer than it says to (occasionally overnight for example) - could this be harming anything?

Looking at some of these other cars I'm clearly playing at it :lol: That said I've got too many hobbies to try and fund!

For some reason it's all considered political which is absolutely ludicrous. Going to war may be political but remembering those who gave their lives so that others may live most certainly is not.

I run a Ford Owners Club (FordFanaticsUk) and attend shows throughout the spring and summer seasons. I've currently got a Mk7 Fiesta ST. Had a Mountune MR200 Mk6 Fiesta ST previously which I regret selling :( I haven't read all of the above posts as I haven't watched TGT yet and don't want any...

Congrats :thumb: I hope to enter down the line when I've had a bit more experience :)

Cool thanks I've had a nosey - are the "Bucket Style" boilers ok? Some kits seem to come with proper boilers for the hob - assumably these are better in some way? I'd not really thought about that but I imagine you're right as my kitchen steams up as things are and we already have a decent...

Hi there :)

Awesome - looks great :thumb:

Hi all, I've been AG brewing for just under a year now, albeit on a small scale (in demijohns) thanks to the Mrs who bought me a kit (http://www.brewcraftbeer.co.uk/bright-eyed-amber-ale-109-p.asp). I have read that most people recommend the malt kits first, but due to the kit I was bought I...

Excellent. Thanks for all the advice :thumb: I've moved a batch I bottled a few days ago into a slightly warmer environment to condition. Will transfer them to somewhere a bit cooler in a week or so :)

My latest brew has a mix of Pale and Golden Promise (half and half) - I'll let you all know how it tastes in a few weeks :thumb:

I googled this recently as had both pale and golden promise in stock at home and wondered which to use - found a guide that outlined differing tasting notes but can't find it just now - will keep looking until someone else comes along for you :) Edit: This was the article, may be of some use...

Sounds a treat! I wanted to brew a lighter ale for Christmas too but have gone with just two hops with spicy and woody notes together with pale/golden promise malts. I find a lot of winter / Xmas ales are darker but it's nice to find a lighter one in the mix at this time of year. Fingers...
