Just jumping into the thread as this was something I've been wondering about. My plastic wilko style keg really struggles to pour, either dribbles or foams. Is that because it's taking air back up and needs another cartridge or is this just a problem with the barrels?

Thanks guys, interesting to note the different approaches and I think I'll follow the advice for lager over the Winter. Perhaps a little too late now noting the weather we have been having?

Hi all, Just looking for a bit of inspiration on when and what you brew at different times of the year. Do you have any set routines and what do you line up and how far in advance? We tend to mix up our year with sloe gin when the sloes are right and blackberry whisky (plus whatever else we...

Whilst I was taught to be cautious, are you in the Craft by any chance, Clint?

Thanks both, it’s just an electric hob so should be fine. pleased the pan gets the seal of approval, I just wanted something cheap and cheerful. If I get the bug I’ll probably get a shiny machine - but that’s probably 18 months of brewing away

Hi Cushyno, Thanks a lot for your reply. Mission accepted!!!

Morning all, So I'm planning to make the most of the enforced seclusion by doing a well-planned out allgrain brew. My recipe is from the Greg Hughes book and I'm following Clibit's thread in order to do so, but could you please advise on my steps and equipment: Equipment 15 litre pan - here...

Hi all, I have recently attempted my first AG brew and produced a DJ full which is currently fermenting (although it may be stuck...!). I'm looking to try a few more over the next couple of months and would like to order some grain, how do you go about ordering if it is only for small batches...

Hi all, So it's been a couple of years since I've brewed (and only then some extract kits which came out so-so). About the time I was brewing bits and pieces I saw the Have a go AG recipe and bought the gubbins. Long story-short I finally got around to doing it today, having noted that the...

Not a resounding success as my OG was 1.030 so I guess I will have a very weak brew?

Well, I ordered my stuff over 18 months ago and I'm finally giving it a go. Unfortunately the grain and hops say expired but this can be a run-through if it doesn't work!

Wow looks great...! Hoping to get to. Similar stage myself soon... As a newbie - do you not need to fit the little red cap onto your airlock? Mine keeps falling off so if I don't need it that would help.

Great :D thanks

Cheers guys - I'm a long time lurker and there always seems someone who has experience a similar issue!

Hi all, I have left a bitter and a white wine in their respective FVs for far too long (not had time to bottle at weekends) and they've now been in there coming up to 2 months... My question is: should it just be chucked away or is any of it worth saving?

Yes & its across the street so no chance of power/ cleanliness! Thanks for the water bath advice
