    Easy Keg 5L

    Not as far as I know, but the website I used was only about £8 per keg with nice lager in it.

    Search for the grocery website. I guess you are on Tesco Direct.

    Cask maturing suggestions

    You can get the chips in the link posted above, but I was planning on using the Jack Daniels chips you get for smoking in BBQs. Get them for £6 a bag when in stock in B&Q. I think they have cleared most BBQ stocks now though.

    To make matters worse, some **** had cut an extra hole in the top of the one I found with what looked like a tin opener. Off to the bin again...

    chocolate orange Ale/stout

    I think you could run the risk of becoming too astringent with adding chocolate malt to a Coopers Stout kit. Maybe a small amount. Adding some medium crystal isn't a bad idea either. Cocoa nibs are the usual way to add real chocolate flavour. Make sure whatever source of cocoa you add has very...

    Cask maturing suggestions

    Other (quicker) option is to age on barrel chips. I. Going to try this with Jack Daniels chips.

    Just order some online from Germany, unless you don't like lager or weissbier.

    Easy Keg 5L

    Probably best using a priming calc with these, taking into account what has been said about priming levels already.

    We should try and notify each other when the next competition is up. I'd be well up for it.

    Understanding my water report

    Dark Ales: Target: Ca:150ppm, Chl:300ppm, Sulph:100ppm, Alk as CaCo3:150ppm add 13.7ml AMS, 7.9g Calcium Chloride, and 4.3g table salt per 25 litres results in: Ca:150ppm, Chl:297ppm, Sulph:134ppm, Alk as CaCo3:150ppm

    Understanding my water report

    This has been calculated arse-about-face, but working on the assumption that your Alkalinity expressed as CaCo3 is around 250ppm, having used the calculator in the above post: Pale Ale: Target: Ca:200ppm, Chl:200ppm, Sulph:350ppm, Alk as CaCo3:40ppm add 28.7ml AMS and 16.5g DWB per 25 litres...

    Understanding my water report

    I missed that. Here's an estimate based on what info you gave, though I haven't checked the overall Alkalinity. For pale ales, I reckon you can get away with just adding Brupaks/Murphy's DWB: [removed] ...... Edit: I think your water is more alkaline than first thought according to the guide...

    Understanding my water report

    If you can't get a Calcium rating, then you can at least adjust for the Sulphate and Chloride, but it would involve some guesswork. Easier to get the Calcium figures first.

    WOW! - Shipyard American Pale Ale

    There are two Flying Dog bottles in Spoons. I'd try the Snake Dog, and notice how amazing the malt flavour is!
