I take it from that, you have made it, is there anything you would compare it to that's available in a shop?

Hello all, original link for the recipe I used (should be) at the bottom of this post. Long story short I made this several weeks ago, but during the mash, the temp dropped several degrees within a few minutes. As I was going biab, I thought I'd stick the burco heater on 'low' to try to...

Thanks Jim, I shall keep this recipe in mind for one of my next batches :D

In need of a bit of help now, this seems to have stuck at 1.020 for a few weeks, I have tried stiring up the yeast and also raising the temperature. I'm in two mins what to do, either pitch another packet of the same yeast, or I have read other people suggesting pitching champagne yeast.... Does...

Will be giving this one a go I think, seems very simple

I managed to get some blackberries and elderberries yesterday, will get some more next weekend. I also picked a small amount of sloes, but not sure if they are ready yet so didn't go too mad. What recipes do people usually go with when using elderberries and blackberries? I may make a start...

Haha, brilliant

Well I moved my kegs for the first time in about 6 months, thought I would see if anything needs pouring down the sinnk, two of my three kegs will need emptying (kit brews) , but this stout rally does taste good, and the best thing is I have about half a corny fuill I would do this again...

Cheers Rob! I aim to get this going by Friday, so I may very well end up following your suggestion :thumb:

I think This clicky here - Double chocolate oatmeal stout is what the recipe was based on when I ordered the grain bill, if that is of any help to anyone in the know?

I do have graham wheelrs book, I am just looking online to try and find the recipe I was going to go with, but I am open to ideas :cheers: A nice stout would go down well, but as it would only be my second all grain, and I have had a 6 month break, I am a bit lost as to what to make with it...

Hello all, Well I have a few days off of work now, and made my first all grain back in December last year. With everything that has been going on since, I have not had a chance to get around to doing my next batch, I now plan to do this over the next few days along with converting my fridge...

Started this last night, used 500g wheat spraymalt and around 200g brewing sugar, made up to 15 litres and used tap water, was fermenting like mad the following morning. Will post my results etc once completed. Only concern is that the can had been in a hot loft for a year and was a few months...

Thanks for the reply guys, it really did hit the spot yesterday , I've never tried anything quite like it.... But it's one I'd love to have a go at making, especially if it only takes a week!! :D

As per title, and sorry if this is in the wrong section.... I'm just making the most of the sun while working through some of Belgian beers I got for Christmas. Just drinking a wheat beer, never had one before.. not sure if all taste the same or if this is just a particularly good one...

I've made a few brewferm kits in my standard fermenter, no issues at all this end, I don't really understand what the problem with it is, if you had two fermenters which are the same diameter but one taller than the other, the same amount of surface liquid would be in contact with the air around...

I used candy sugar in mine, at the time I didn't know I could make it so I bought some, takes a while to dissolve..... But not as long as the beer took to condition, I left mine over a year , although after 6 months there was quite a big difference to when it was first bottled. Great beer if...

I can say from the two stouts I've made, and countless other brews, it will only get better with time

That looks brilliant, I bet you're well pleased

How very odd, I was looking this up today and was going to ask the same thing!!! You saved me a job, cheers
