At what sort of temp Range

How much they set you back? I've been thinking about going the way of the corny ( more so as I bottled a raspberry wine/TC yesterday and will be bottling a sweet newkie 2moz if the weathers right for it)

That's how you know it's expensive

It's pretty but doesn't look like it will make enough for the average homebrewer...

Everyone goes through phases :) it's what stops the world becoming stale!

Nearly my final question - promise :D I plan to do a few brews, how much yeast should I start off with in each of my 2 litre starters ( the bottle will be 2 litre at least and I think about a litre inside or don't I need as much ) ?

Take a sample away to test , dilute it with water about the same temp as not to shock the yeast and add some sugar, if it starts frothing then it's still alive :)

If using champagne yeast will 1.030-40 be okay or should I give it some more + thank you for all the advice and help :)

How does EKG compare to Saaz hops fOr floral flavour ? I ask as I did a bitter kit can and didn't like it so dry hopped in primary with some SAAZ hops and liked he floral taste when I had a test pint, when I went to bottle the next day it wasn't so pungent so made up a generous hop tea of 40+...

How long should I have a starter going for + how often should i burp the bottle to get it fresh air, or can I leave the cap off ?

I read that as you'd just had a bottle till I read it back again :lol::whistle:

Everything will kill you if you have 'too much'

I would be doing a 23-25 litre batch so obviously times the grain bill by 2.5 but do I do the same for the hops aswell ?

Thank you, will be giving this a go :)

Could I use malt extract e.g. Holland and Barrett or Rayners malt extract ?

Evening all After seeing a few single hop brews I was hoping to do it myself. I'd like to get a 25kg bag of pale malt eg marries otter and do 5+ brews from it all with the hops you suggest/pick I have only done 1 AG brew so far so if you lovely formites could help me to get these recipes...

What do you mix the yeast with as a starter solution?

Welcome, I will personally suggest that you don't keep opening up your FV's (fermenting vessels) to take gravity readings every couple days as you risk infection. Follow the 2-2-2 method 2 weeks in primary - check gravity reading has gone down to what the yeast your using should - if so...

I have added filter coffee to a stout before and found it brought a nutty flavour

I may have to try some of your brews ;)
