Great video, thanks for the link!

There's a homebrew shop here in aberdeen that doesn't charge extra for highlands delivery. Here's a link in case this is of use... http://www.aberdeenhomebrew.co.uk/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I think their 80 shilling has been relabelled as Edinburgh Castle. It still appears up here (Aberdeen) on cask now and again. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Beers will change over time in the bottle. Some will change for the worse, but stronger beers can age really well. I was lucky enough to share a bottle of Fullers Vintage Ale from 1998 last year, possibly the best beer I've ever had. We had it side by side with a 2016 bottle, the difference was...

I'd try it first before you plan a clone. I love big imperial stouts, but I'm still not sold on chucking cranberry in it Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Bingo. You chose and made whatever you experienced. Maybe you found it useful, whatever it was, but i don't think you're talking about depression. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

This makes no sense at all. If you think depression and feeling depressed are somehow totally different, then you're making up your own definitions. The foot acid thing also sounds ridiculous. It makes a bit of a mockery of people who have suffered genuine illness. If you are making efforts to...

Deleted - double post!

I would respectfully say that, if what you're describing makes you feel creative and active, it's different to what I would call depression. I get that it's good to confront dark and negative thoughts, we all have them and it's good to understand and live with them, but that's quite different to...

The grapefruit ale appeared in our aberdeen 'spoons as well. Apparently it was god awful here too. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I find that the fullers yeast strain (whitelabs 002) can bring an orange marmalade flavour, though it isn't a bright zesty orange. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I wanted to come up with a low ABV beer for an event in a month or so, with the hope that the whole keg will be tanned in one sitting. There will be a few more straight forward beers from other folks there too, so thought this might be an opportunity to try another experiment. I thought that I...

I had an 80 shilling from a new start up a few weeks back, it was full on pickled onion! Totally infected rather than over-hopped though Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I've heard of this occurring due to overuse of certain hops. These beers will all be affected by availibity of their desired hops, maybe producers have had to make similar alterations to one another Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I made a mix of coopers original stout and coopers dark ale, brewed to 23 litres or so. I might have added extra DME on top. It came out okay, but needed a lot of time. It wasn't a touch on all-grain strong stouts that I've since made though. I've still got some left, must be at least 18 months...

I started by finding a book that dealt with styles of beer that I like, then trying a few out. As time goes on the contribution that different ingredients and methods make will make more sense. The books I started with were Charlie Papazian's "joy of homebrewing" and Graham Wheeler's "brew your...

I'd like to enter please

I keep my bottles in a shed in north east Scotland. They are sometimes a little flat if I open them straight way. If you let them warm up in the house a bit before opening they'll be great

Guitar player in horrible heavy metal bands, making fx pedals, getting into diy synths. Lots of guitarists on here!

The boiler is holding up well. I'm not using BIAB, I made a primitive mash tun out of two fermenting buckets (soon to be upgraded!). I'm now on to my 8th all grain batch using thus set up. I've had some issues with the boiler cutting out on two brews, think this was due to build up around the...
