And the initial tasting video notes! https://youtu.be/zfC3GrxxzOI https://youtu.be/LPfj6wDQgiA https://youtu.be/luYBqihgQdU

For 12litres you could probably get away with a full volume mash and skip the sparge (though a spare can help efficiency). It over simplifies things but for a full volume mash you will need.... Your desired final volume + the dead space in your boiler + approx 1litre per kg of grain (lost to...

Feedback sent - if you need anything expanded drop me a line, will try and get the initial taste vids upload either later tonight or before the weekend. Cheers all - was a great field of entries!

Happy to take the freestyle in Mar (if I'm allowed to )

Gentlemen, thank you very very much for the honour of judging this month's competition, I have enjoyed 8 incredible beers that I would happily pay money for and would be pleased to replicate. Using StrangeSteve's score sheet there was only 8 points separating the 8 entries (if including a late...

O- blood donor and also a living kidney donor here. Would you pull someone out of a potentially burning car? Would you donate to a relative/family friend? Then I don't understand why you wouldn't want to help save someones life by being an organ donor if something happened to you...

https://www.morebeer.com/articles/homebrew_beer_hops I find the above link helpful when looking for hop profiles, but think this has been nailed above.

I had a bottle arrive today. Rather than just give feedback could I score it and deduct a penalty from it's overall score? Or does that get too complicated/controversial?

This month's entrants. Think I will stagger judging over this week, as 8pints in a night will have me in the doghouse... Best of luck gents looking forward to them!

@spapro it may even win best packed! All good and now chilling in the fridge, got another one to pick up tomorrow so we should have a top 5!

September is the first month of the new schedule so the category is American Pale Ales so that includes Pales, IPAs, American Wheat Beers, DIPAs, BIPAs etc. I think I can accept under the pale banner. :-)

I have 3 entries in the fridge so far. Probably judging during the week starting 1/10

I've found alternating a dark beer or something else that needs a long condition with my hoppy brews helps. I bottled my Xmas brew at the start of Feb and have allowed myself just a bottle a month to see how it has been developing.

10 (or 11 including mick) requests for comp address and 3 entries received so far. If you have sent a package and I haven't acknowledged it then I haven't got it....

I thought it would be great to do a kit while the mash/boil was on to show there are options. I donated some kit that came, with the mini kegs I sold on to mickdundee, to a friend who has done a couple of kits but again young family and work have hindered his progress.

Will leave the comp moderators to make the final decision but I'd happily sample (version 3 of) your steam beer again. :-)

First bottle arrived collected today from @dan125 @dads_ale arrived 11/9 Lots of other interest and address requests but just two bottles delivered so far.

I usually need to get my strike water upto 72-75degrees to ensure I mash in at between 65 and 67 degrees for my mash. I can't recirculate so don't know if mashing in lower and recirculating and continuing to heat will give the efficiency boost you have seen.

I stumbled across hopping for flavour with "equal" additions at 10, 5 and at flame out and then dry hopping for aroma with equal total amounts used for flavour. I use a calculator like brewers to see bitterness, bare in mind the higher the alpha acid the more bitterness they provide. Your 17g...
