After the cleaning out the fermenter I got straight to work on a Mangrove Jack's Irish Stout. Brewed to instructions at 23l however, used all of the brew enhancer 2 rather than just 1.2kg. After just 17 hours at 22°c it was already getting busy!

That's the European lager transferred into the corny keg. I think it's been in the fermenter king for about 18 days. Fermented at 12°c for the most part then steadily increased the temp to 18°c after the og sat at 1.004 for a couple of days, before crashing back to 2°c. I've included some...

It's settled down now and happily is more like it was pre dry hop. I'm using a 15psi PRV for this lager.

A Buxton Nagril coconut pastry stout via my latest beer52 box. Pretty nice. Not an overly coconut taste but quite sweet with a moderate mouthfeel.

I think I've had a bit of a mare with the Cooper's European. I wanted to take a sample for gravity and also add some hops. I depressurised and in my haste, connected a pipe to the liquid post before adding the gas post. Lesson learned, I should have had a party tap on there. Anyway, I heard...

Bringing up a post from some time ago but, your quantities seems to match what I plan to use @terrym . When do you recommend adding?

Also bought the kit and [on offer] beer enhancer 2 from brew2bottle. I was considering chucking some treacle in there or finishing with some peanut flavouring but I think, first time round, I'll go with the as recommended recipe. I've got a lager in the Fermenter King at the moment, about 7...

Took a wee while to get started but we're off and running. Fermentation chamber has settled at 13.5°c +/- 0.5°c and there's activity 😀

+1 for that idea 💡👌👏

Good shout, cheers for that @F00b4r . I reckon I can get 6 kegs and a co2 in my keezer with a bit of maneuvering but I'm happily limiting it to 4 + co2 to save any hassle with lifting in and out and avoiding cables/pipes etc. Excellent point though, measure twice cut once kinda thing 😀

Ooh, I'm smitten! Those do look nice and the keezer example set up on the site is just lovely 🥰 A bit out of my budget at £550 ish for 6 😟

Brewed a Cooper's European Lager kit with 500g LSM and 500g of dextrose, brewed to 22 litres. I've got it in the fermentation cupboard, currently at 16°c +/- .5°c. I learned a lesson with the LSM which I unfortunately dumped in! OMG did that need some work!! I'm assuming I need to add it to...

Made a red lentil and ham hough soup. It doesn't look too inviting but I would quite happily eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner with thickly buttered crusty loaf until there is none left, then I'll lick any remaining spoons on offer. I don't soak the smoked hough. Instead, quickly boil...

Back to working from home today after a pretty fulfilling weekend. After work I caught up on some Real CSI stuff on BBC (that kind of tv really interests me) and grilled some sweet chilli chicken skewers obtained from the local butchers for dinner. I can't wait for the sunshine BBQ days to return.

That, is a great shout.👍

This morning I started to install a can ceiling in the keezer shed. Just need to source about 300 more unique 330ml cans and I'm sorted 😆 I also tidied up the little serving hatch to the outside world and added a missing handle to one of the Nukataps.

Ooh lovely. Please accept this as my official entry 🤞😁

Thanks for the responses both. That's encouraging to hear. The cider kit brew is supposed to be in there for just 1 week but I'll give it another week before taking a gravity sample. That's my first brew in the fermentasaurus @johncrobinson and I'm not using pressure this time round as I...

I put a MYO dark berry cider on last Saturday. Its bubbling away nicely in the self build fermentation chamber in the shed and there's a definite smell of sulphur in the air however, due to there being about 8 inches of snow on and around the shed the 40w heater is struggling to maintain...

A Sanguinem Aurantiaco from EvilTwin, snow chilled. A blood orange sour ale with a good level of 😜😖🤪 A likeable sour ale, I like my sours to be real facechangers and this one is a bit short 👍🍻
