I think an extract brew can be done cheaply. Granted, not as cheap as AG and not that much cheaper than a Wherry kit but you learn a few things and have lots of control with a recipe of your choice or even one you invent. The only new piece of equipment I need was a 20L boiling pan and that I...

I see Noby. Yep, makes total sense. :thumb: It's just what I do too. the bottling bucket has my batch prime sugar/water.

Blimey Noby :shock: your misses looks a bit slippery ........... which is nice :)

Thanks Noby :thumb: That advice will put to use next time though. I've already put them in the primary FV.

Paul I followed Pitsys advice, 250g of cystal malt (you might need to adjust for others) in 1 litre at 66c for 30 mins, then add another litre and steep for 10 mins more. If your adding several different grains, I can't help thinking you'll need about a litre for every 250g you use. Say you've...

Thanks Noby, I'm gonna join your chuck them in gang :D Did you brew that one is Australia? Why 15c Noby? mine is at room temp ....... 17c - 20c

Last brew I dry hoped in a muslin bag with a stone weight. Did I also add infection? I don't know :pray: My latest dumb question is, could I just throw them in? I know they'll mostly float but would that be enough?

7 days! Blimey, Coopers kits recommend 3 months conditioning. for 'Off Tastes' this is quite a good guide. Check the 2nd down. http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter21-2.html

So you've gone for keg rather than bottles. I think 12 days is very early, if it were bottles I would say more like 4 weeks conditioning. Harsh taste can be down to lack of conditioning.

The Full English! no, I hadn't heard of them either. Blue Ross Code are also getting some acclaim. I've met Ross at some of their gigs ....'Name dropper' :roll: [youtube:41kgj3nu]1Y6-e9BTbYg[/youtube:41kgj3nu]

Good brewing and good drinking doesn't always mean good typing :nono: Welcome :D

The highest AA hop I have is Citra at 14.8% .......... I had it down for dry hoping but perhaps it'd be good for bittering?

Well Calum, I'm feeling a bit smug :) my last brew used :- Challenger ...............50g East Kent Golding .... 30g Citra ............... dry hop

That's interesting pittsy, my last effort was just that, harsh. ........... I'll have to look at my latest recipe again, it's kinda upside down!

Cheers guys :D :cheers:

Does she have a sister ? :P
