I'm going to try all three in the interests of Risk Management ;) A bit of taste testing with the groomsmen should help me decide which is most suitable as a Reception drink and which will be the 250ml / 500ml favour waiting on the table for guys to drink / take home with them. I still need to...

Thank you jceg! I've just ordered what I didn't already have so next weekend is brew weekend :D :grin:

Good point Britton. And at worst, I end up with a tonne of leftover homebrew for me and my buddies to drink :grin:

I would really appreciate that jceg! - I would definitely be interested in an IPA recipe and a tried and tested pilsner. I've not tried to brew a belgian tripel before, is likely to give me difficulties? I suppose it wouldnt hurt to give it a try? I will certainly be keeping it below 6%, I'm...

How did it turn out Sven945? I'm putting together a brew for my wedding and I'm stuck at the first hurdle: the audience...... do I brew to please the many (average lager drinkers) or do I brew to please the few (real ale fans, myself included).... Any advice from anyone would be much...

P.S. BreadMurderer I like the brewdog glass you have!:clap:

It is clearly important that you have the right glass for the right drink, and I like the idea of owning many different types of glasses. Can anyone recommend anywhere in particular that it would be worth looking to purchase? I've seen a set that looks reasonable on Amazon, the "Dartington Three...

Hi all, Quick Question: How do you drink yours? I'm looking to buy some beer glasses, other than my mis-matched collection of boring plain old pint glasses from Ikea and the "acquired" pint glasses from various day/night sessions where my inner Artful Dodger may have gotten the better of...

Yes, don't worry, I'm not questioning your recipe integrity by any means, just my own Total Newbie perspective on what could go wrong - this is from a guy who has brewed 4 beer kits and STILL follows their instructions to a tee! At the end of the day scientists are just people who are good at...

:party: TOTAL NEWBIE :grin:

Great, I will give that a go. Thanks Covrich. Well I have a FV and a keg with capacities at 30 Litres each, but I suppose they're not my limiting factors when it comes to AG brewing - I have 2 x 10L stainless steel (stockpot) pans, I just need to work out the best way to move solutions around...

I see what you mean now. It is not a case of one size fits all, and it sounds like a good brewer needs to be very adaptive! Perhaps the best practice for me then, like you said, is to establish my set up and try to standardize what I can. More simply than that I need to start making some decent...

i.e. there is no right answer and I need to learn by trial and error. Understood. Thanks guys, newbies like me appreciate your patience I still reckon that subtracting in a few X's and Y's it would be possible to come up with some kind of protocol. I will endeavor to find something and share...

Thanks Clibit. I had already seen this one and although it is pretty clear, you may underestimate what an idiot I can be, especially in a panic. For example: "10. Cool the wort in sink, with lid on, add to sterilised FV/demijohn via sterilised sieve to catch hops, and top up the level to 5...

Greetings! I noticed that a lot of the brewers on this site either come from a scientific background or take an active interest in the Chemistry side of brewing, which for me is possibly the most interesting part, as a Biochemist (well actually I'm an Engineer now but I started off in the...

Good advice! Thanks Drakey, I shall do that! I went in there on Saturday (but hadn't seen your post) so I didn't notice anything about a Brew Day

Thanks Calluma11 :thumb: Good advice. Yes my nearest is Morley Home Brew Centre, 2.8 miles from my house. I certainly cannot complain! #happyaccident :-D

Hi all, My name is Chris and I have just moved to Wakefield and started brewing my own beers and ales now that I have some space. I'm absolutely shocked by the wealth of knowledge and altruism available at The Home Brew Forum. Brewers are very friendly people! Keep up the good work! I have...
