http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Homebrew-equi ... 258a535375 Selling this due to not being used and taking up room in the shed, hopefully will go to someone who can use it. I spent many hours marvelling over the boiler, probably my best ever piece of work.

I like it, maybe I'll have a play this weekend and see what i come up with!!! Thanks

Or has anybody tried to brew a chocolate stout????

Well, i got the idea from titanic brewery, they brew a vanilla and chocolate stout at the moment and that tastes pretty good. I've searched a few forums and they seem to use chocolate malt and add more chocolate, but most of these forums are american so I'm not sure what chocolate they add. With...

Has anybody tried making this before??? Or does anybody know of a chocolate mint stout all grain recipe???? I fancy making this in time for christmas!!! Thanks

I've drunk this before but only from a bottle, tonight I had it from cask and loved it. Does anybody know a good AG clone???? Thanks

Okey dokey, a little bit eager i need to learn patience!!! Cheers Wez

I pitched the yeast early sunday morning, so around 5 days, not long I know but it got down to 1020 pretty quick so made me think it was stuck??

I used S-04, not sure what temp, it's sat on the dining room table however it has got quite a bit colder in there over the past couple of days!!! Maybe I should move it to the airing cupboard with another sachet of yeast????

No bubbles, to be honest it looks like it has finished fermenting. However I thought it would have reached lower than 1020!!! Mashing temp was around 68 degrees but I lost 5 degrees over the 90 mins!!!!

Hi guys, Last saturday I brewed my second all grain brew, hop and grains hobgoblin clone, it started on 1050ish and was fermenting well but has now been stuck on 1020 for 3 days, i stirred it gently yesterday and again today but still hasn't budged!!!! Should I add another pack of...

Thanks for the replies, I'll try some foil and a sleeping bag next time I think. Let me know how yours turns out, which recipe did you use???

Sorry, I didn't take any picture :oops:

Today I brewed my second all grain brew, I chose the hobgoblin clone from the hop and grain database. Everything went to plan except this time I noticed the mash tun lost around 5 degrees over 90 mins. I've made it from a thermos 30l coolbox, I haven't added any insulation other than wrapping it...

Thanks Wez, maybe I'm just paranoid as its a lot of work to go to waste!!! Thanks

I forgot to take a reading at the start but it is still at 1042!!!! And on closer inspection there are white clumps suspended throughout the beer that I can see through the walls of the FV!!!! :(

I used Safale S-04, the crust formed pretty soon but hasn't changed since. I guess I'll just leave it and hope for the best, I just thought it would ferment a bit more vigorously.

Hi, I brewed my first all grain batch on saturday it was from GW's Real Ale book, the recipe for Summer Lightning!!! Everything seemed to go pretty well, however I don't have a chiller so cooled it down in the bath. I took maybe 3/4 hours to drop to 30 degrees, when I pitched the yeast. On...

Ok, I've just finished my first AG brew!!! I think everything went pretty well, I have some pictures so will put them up at some point. Can't wait to taste it and brew again!!!!

Thanks very much, hopefully it all goes well. I will let you know!!!!
