I usually go to boston a couple of times a year with work, so might get some reccomendations from you before I go next time. I was there a couple of weeks ago, and there seemed to be a lot more really good IPA availalbe on tap all around the place, which was very satisfying.

I have two of these that I use for fermenting in. They are 100ltr, and I got them free from a friend of a friend, who just wanted them out of the way. I find them really good, and have considered putting a tap on them, but currently just syphon out of them.

I go to the US now and then with work, and constantly get asked for ID, and I am nearly 40, and could probably pass for older! They won't accept my non US driving license, so I have to bring my passport around with me, which is a right pain, as I'm afraid of losing it. I got chatting to one...

Good to hear from what I presume is another Taf in Ireland? I'm not officially Welsh, but did live in Wales for nearly 20 years, so picked up the nickname when I came back, and it stuck. I've done a few elderflower wines myself, but added too much sugar, as was following old CJ Berry recipe, and...

I am also sure how much goes into each bottle as I use a measuring spoon. I find it quicker than drawing off some beer, disolving the sugar in it, cleaning a bottling bucket, racking into a bottling bucket and then bottling/kegging. There was only this amount of bottling as I didn't want to keg...

I have a 120 litre conical, so I dump off the yeast, and go straight to keg/bottle, and always have nice clear beer. I've had uneven corbonation with batch priming on occasion, as the sugar solution can sink to the bottom a bit I find. Even when I was doing smaller batches I stopped moving to...

Maybe I should of said swap/barter so! As I don't give them away Willy nilly.

I started kegging a while back, but still do some bottles, so I can give them to people. I don't do secondary anymore, so just transfer straight into the keg or bottle. I actually used to rack from primary to secondary and then to a bottling bucket on bottling day, but stopped that was way too...

Are you drinking it from the bottle or on draft? I bought a crate of it recently and was dissapointed with the hop flavour/aroma. I'm not sure if that's just because i've been drinking some savage black IPA recently from all over the place or the fact that the best before date is June 12. I felt...

Cheers Steve. Much appreciated.

Hi all. The brother did a Black IPA with me at Xmas, so took 15 litres back to London with him. Now he has a taste for it, but probably won't get to brew with me again until he comes home at Easter, and he's getting a bit of cold turkey for it. I can see him going allgrain, but not until he is...

I haven't done it myself, but it seems that you can grown your own, so I have been following the below thread with interest. It's a link to the Selfsufficientish website. People have been having a go off it on there for a while, but not sure what the results were for this year. Maybe they are...

Hi Aaron. Another hello from Cork. I'm based close to Blarney. Whereabouts are you? Presume you are starting off with a kit/extract, or are you jumping into all grain? There is a small brewclub based in the Fransiscal well brewpub, where we have the occasional brewday, and then tasting at a...

I lived there for over 10 years when growing up. Roath was the place to be for me. Back in Ireland nearly 20 years now.

22mm. I have a combination spanner, as some of my posts are the star shaped ones.

I'm hoping to be there either the Friday or Saturday, and maybe both. Will post closer to the time, when I have a better idea.

Got mine yesterday evening, and they are planted up. Thanks very much, Billy.

Someone on ar Irish forum has some of the large storage boxes that he uses as fermentors. Think they were food grade, but not sure where he got them from.

I'd love a bit of Goldings or Bramlings cross. Not sure if you would post to Ireland? Cheers, Billy.
