Not too sure where this is best placed, But I just wanted to say thanks to our sponsor thehomebrewcompany.co.uk, I placed an order with them late one night for grains/kits etc and a fermenter, as usual it arrived very quickly. For me, this was the first time anything arrived damaged (the...

Leave them in a warm place for a while, or if you're really impatient , open a bottle. If there is a fizz, then you know it's carbonated and its sediment you have at the bottom of the bottles. I usually leave mine for at least 4 weeks before going anywhere near them

Bang on!!

Excellent!!! I bet it's pretty good knowing you made that yourself :thumb: how long do you plan to condition for, you said you were bottling didn't you?

I only had a quick read and then posted my reply, soon after I realised I had not read it properly and I was hoping no one would notice :whistle: Either way congratulations are still in order, im sure it must have been blimmin difficult! :thumb:

Congratulations and welcome to the world of biking. There's nothing quite like it. From what my friend has told me (he only just passed) you have done well to pass yourself, as the whole thing sounds so complicated now, it's only been about 4 years or so since I did mine, but I can't believe how...

Oh wow, I'd love to see how this turns out. I think wells do their own don't they? I seem to remember it being quite a nice drink!

I'm looking forward to it, I can picture all those lovely grains sitting in some hot water releasing their tasty fermentable goodness!! Can't wait to smell it I'm starting to worry myself now, and I've not even started. This should be the start of something beautiful Bit of a random...

Well, came home to find my delivery from the home brew company had arrived. I got a HBC all grain stout kit , various grains and hops to try an improvised version of a chocolate oatmeal stout over Christmas , some misc items, and two cider kits to keep miss brewdan happy! Going to try and get...

Sounds like time well spent to me :thumb: looking forward to an update, and some tasting reviews :cheers:

Better late than never, maybe an early start to the weekend is in order!! :grin:

Well done!! I love reading these threads, my delivery of grains should be arriving tomorrow, and I can then make a start if my first batch. Any tips at all? Also how long did it all take , finally did you use anything like beersmith? Enjoy your brew!!

Sorry , got mixed up (it was a long week) I meant cobra/kingfisher. I did well, only 2 pints of maldon gold at the local, and a few cokes with the indian. I shall no doubt have some home brew tomorrow, but Im signing off for the night now Enjoy your beers !! :cheers: :thumb:

Ok so after reading that, there's a lot of nice drinks being drunk. Just about to go for a curry so I'm guessing I will be having tiger or something... Then maybe just maybe off to the local for ale :D Jaipur, nice drink, not had that in a long time! And what would your first home be, I don't...

Useful information here, shall make use of this myself when I try my first batch

I have just placed an order of this kit, as my very first step into all grain brewing. I was hoping that someone else on the forum may have done this 'kit' before and could leave some comments on it. My delivery is due next week, and while I would love to get the brew going, I very much doubt I...

Oops not desperate! I meant seperate! But I am desperate to make it all. Just not sure when I will get the chance to. I have a feeling it wont be until near Christmas as I have a couple of weeks off then, but really cannot wait that long! :cheers: I may just do a couple of kits to keep me...

Order has been placed, no going back now. Just need to wait for everything to arrive and it's time to try all grain! Bought the homebrewcompany Irish stout mash kit, and I also bought desperate grains to attempt to make a chocolate oatmeal stout. Looking forward to this, got the parts on order...

Cheers Dennis, just working on the house at the moment, depending on how much we manage to get done today/ tomorrow I may see if I can take Saturday off and come watch you at work?
