We've a week's holiday planned at beginning of November. This is assuming we're allowed to travel. Looking for suggestions of breweries to visit or local beers to try.

oh probably about 6 in an hour and a half :laugh8: :laugh8:

Bank of Scotland: "A friend for life" Yeh right, as long as you buy our overpriced products, and don't expect us to be very friendly if you're having a bad timeaheadbutt

Am currently brewing Greg Hughes American Stout as brew number 9 using the Brewzilla

Personally, I use the pump. My reasons are: 1. Ease. 2. The pump outlet is lower than the tap, and 3. it helps to aereate the wort.

I've had mine since June and done 8 brews so far. The first 2 were a bit hit and miss, with me forgetting to do certain things. Definitely worthwhile taking your time with the initial brews until you get used to it. My only real problem has been that the chiller takes a lot longer than I'd...

I use old Irn Bru crates that I acquired years ago when the nearby bowling club were throwing them out.

I agree it's a great deal. Bought 12 of each to stick in the cupboard

Having availed myself of Morrison's great cheap deal on William Bros beers, £1.25 for Joker IPA and Caesar Augustus, I went remove the labels to reuse the bottles. The Caesar labels slid off after a short soak in hot water but the Joker labels were welded onto the bottles. Numerous soaking and...

I think the combination of brewing, cooking and baking is pretty common. Now I need to start my Xmas cake today, running late this year:laugh8:

West Brewery in Glasgow do a Vienna Red

@Seghes, did you set the temp at HH? My boiling temperature, on the brews I've done so far, has been indicated at 109C.

If you look at the futures market for Milling Wheat for next month and 6 months's time, you'll find very little difference. I don't doubt that the weather has been difficult for farmers, but most of this year's crop will already have been sold.

Also reported however that the actual price of wheat is lower now than at the beginning of the year! Scaremongering story I feel

Yes, it was. Have you had a similar problem?

Tastes ok, just looks foul!!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The most Murky brew is a clone of Geary's Pale Ale from the Clone Brews Book . Thinking of other variables has made me realise that these have all been made with Crisp Pale Malt, this is the first time I've used it. A possible reason?

I do a 60 min boil. Haven't considered water profile but will give it a thought. I'm in Glasgow so don't think Thames Water would help :laugh8:

Got my Robobrew/Brewzilla in June and have done 6 brews so far. Apart from Brew No.3 (which was a Coniston Bluebird clone), brew Nos.1,2,4 have all been really cloudy. Brew No.1 particularly is a tried and tested recipe and a favourite of mine which I have brewed many times with great success...

Nasty!!! Mussels
