I I have 4 kegs at the moment. I don't usually condition for this length of time though. After I have filled the keg I purge it with Co2, then leave it on at 15 psi for about 20 mins before removing it from the gas. I then just leave it in a corner of my garage. Every few weeks I will give it...

Kegged this today + 4 bottles. F.G. of 1.013 so 6.3% this time, so slightly stronger than the last two times I've brewed this. Going away for 6 months now, though I may sample the bottles a bit earlier to monitor its' progress.

Just for your info, there is a foodies section on here which would probably be a better place to post this thread.

Remember to weigh out and note what malts and hops you do use, just in case it turns out to be awesomeathumb..

This is one I did long time ago.

I've done this quite a few times, works great. If you don't fancy using an actual beer can you can buy special beer can roasters now. I just oil the chicken put a rub on, stick a half full stubby beer can up its @rse and put in the middle of the weber cooking indirect. Don't use a larger beer...

Back on my Faux Lager. Apologies for the glass

I voted Yes, but only because over here (NI) the executive have already said the kids won't be going back till September. I hope by then we will be in a better situation. I would also be concerned of the effect of long term isolation on my son, particularly as he is an only child.

I used to be a heavy drinker in my younger days, not so much now. Drink Friday & Saturday and maybe once midweek. I can easily produce enough to keep me going but I do like to try different beers from time to time and there are a few old favourites I like to have every now and again. I probably...

So Ireland has won it more often than any other nation and not one of those songs features on this list?

The previously mentioned Lager.

If you want to force carbonate, your best bet is to go with either Cornelius Kegs or mini kegs.

I've just taken a small sample of a faux lager I brewed recently to check for carbonation. Very pleased with it. Will be having a few later.

Fair play to you. I used to smoke a bit on my weber kettles before I got the smokey Mountain. You can certainly get great results from them. Big advantage with the water smoker is it holds temperature more stable and it easy to add fuel/water. I want to get the big Genesis charcoal double...

Just starting her up.

Class

Managed 1.061 on this beer this time, has dropped to 1.014 in 6 days and I don't expect it to drop much more. Will stay in the fermentor for another 8 days. The sample I took for gravity tasted great even at this early stage.

Will be doing a pork shoulder and a brisket on the smokey mountain Tuesday. Standard roast beef on the Weber kettle today.

Welcome Derren, the forum is very helpful to new brewers. We have all been there at some point and there are some incredibly knowledgable folks on here only too willing to help.

Welcome to the block. I too used to brew years ago and the results were less than impressive. However just over 3 years ago I decided to give it another go. The main difference now is the amount of information freely available in sites like this and on sites like you tube. MY brewing has...
