Bottled this 10 days ago and popped a bottle in the fridge earlier tonight. Wow! I think this might be the best beer I’ve ever made!

It’s looking and tasting good!

Dry hopped this last night with 40g Cascade and 80g Chinook. Hoping this will make a nice sessionable ale over a Christmas!

A couple of pics of my water bath setup.

There are some terrible wines served in pubs that SWMBO turns her nose up at. She’s not a wine snob, but doesn’t drink wine she’s not 100% happy with aunsure....

After a good few kit brews, some Turbo cider and moving onto BIAB AG brewing, I started thinking about wine. My wife is nervous that it won’t be as good as the ALDI Malbec she likes. Went for a 6 bottle kit as I’ve got a few DJs hanging about! Made up as per instructions and after 24hrs it...

I just used tap water in a sanitised jar and left it overnight. I then added it to my grain bag at the dunk sparge stage. Got me excited so just on my way to buy ingredients to do a 20L batch clapa

So, had the half bottle last Friday after chilling in the fridge for 24 hours. It was really well carbonated , clear and lovely! Just had two 330ml bottles tonight and it’s a great beer (although one had an apple vinegary smell at the neck but tastes fine ?)

Just dry hopped this with 25g Chinook. Smelling good!

So I rigged up a Filtration / Lauter isn’t setup using my bottling bucket, mashing bag and an upturned colander to support my ‘too small’ bag! Seems to have worked Ok, but need to improve my sparging technique as it got a bit stuck / airlocked! Onto the boil now, 15L pan quite full with...

I’ve gone for it! https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/ag12-maxi-biab.79566/

Yeah, I’ve not been in for a couple of years and he was in a few Saturdays ago! He was Edina Homebrew when I first started!

That’s my LHBS - been going there since I started brewing and had some really good advice from Davie! My son said it was like an “old fashioned” shop because of all the wooden shelves and interesting smells :laugh8:

Yes, got it, starsan and the bottle tree as a present a few years ago - drastically increased my bottling efficiency!

Hello, I’m in Edinburgh too. Just got back into BIAB beer brewing after a wee break while doing some house alterations.

Got this bottled on Sunday afternoon with help from my daughter. Had a bit of an Oops when the bottling stick became detached from the hose! Twentysething bottles sitting in the fermentation fridge at 20 degrees. Will stick one half bottle in the fridge on Friday to see what it tastes like!

Ah, I misunderstood, I thought you were in Edinburgh :doh:
