    Well I've tried the west indies porter, I like it will defo be buying again, thats on a par with some of the better craft stouts/porters before they go all in on the adjuncts and make caramel toffee this or chocolate coffee that. I honestly think you'd like the FRGD as it's several steps removed...

    Guinness

    Just got myself a West Indies porter to have a try of, Ive been drinking the Guinness zero since I discovered it 6 or so months ago, plus it's cheaper than a pint of coke in my local, had a disaster last night with the second can of the Guinness nitro, knocked it over and it split, rescued most...

    Guinness

    Can't say ive had the west indies porter but I've recently tried the original extra stout and the Nigerian 1 which tasted similar to me? Been trying random flavoured stouts n porter over the last 6months and about the only1 I would avoid was a pumpkin flavoured stout, if I had to list my...

    Crushed Malt - How old is too old?

    Ok so up date on my experience, just cracked open a bottle brewed from an old old all grain kit, at a guess it's 2yrs+ old, it's now had 2weeks conditioning, did half at room temp and the other half cooled down some what(accidentally brewed an imperial porter 9%) so how did it taste...bloody fan...

    Does it get expensive?

    In my defense I'm currently on a steep learning curve and expensive is relative to what little I know of kit, yeast, hops and grain prices etc, and at first glance AG has a steep initial equipment cost Vs kit n kilo or even partial mash, but I can see that over the course of several years the...

    Does it get expensive?

    I did a spread sheet to convince a friend not to use 1of the novel home brew systems, because he'd spend a fortune on his first brew(£9+ a pint) and it would take approx 10 brews to get to the point where it was just the cost of the kit and it would still be £2.5ish a pint and if he went down...

    Newbie question before I start my first brew kit

    Newbie question before I start my first brew kit

    Hi I'm relatively new to home brewing also so here's my experience over 6 brews so far, I have zero temp control other than where I place fermentation bucket and have hard water. So far I've had 3x brews at approx 24°+ and 3 below 20° and of all 6 my first1 was the 1 that tasted most home...

    My First All Grain!

    Question about boil and hop additions, What's the reason for the 1hr+ boil other than to reduce wort to reach required OG Suppose what I'm asking is, is it necessary to mash with the extra water because of boil off? or could you mash with lower volume, requiring a minimum boil to sterilise...
