Recent pic of my Goldies...

The recipes are good in my experience but they often use the wrong stock pictures. Take the picture of the Salzberger Vienna Lager it looks like a normal lager but if you look at recipe with 85g of chocolate malt you know it can't be right. Then if you google for other examples of the style you...

From that link the person "Karim" was using 100 cylinders a day, clearly he was a f*ckwit and no wonder he became ill. You can abuse anything at all including innocuous products until they become dangerous.

Don't bother with the bazooka. Just dissasemble the pump after each brew and clean it out. If you have the same pump I did then a pin will be needed to poke out the bits from the impellar and/or blowing quite hard through the slot should dislodge any bits of grain.

Loving the bar!!!

David Heath hombrew is a non-nonsense matter of fact channel that get's down to the facts with no fluff. Stuart Hardman has a small selection of videos, some are quite useful. Saffer Brew is a South African but lives in the UK. He can be quite informative. Real Ale Craft Brew does mainly...

+1 for Strange-Steve's post as well. I found Stuart Hardman's video very helpful too.

That's interesting. Do you have a link to the interview please? Ignore me. I should have read futher into this thread.

Yes, I did that. I found that some of them were quite flat so I went around them all with a flat ended screwdriver and opened them up slightly. It did help. I like your idea with the colanderathumb.. When I get around to it I want to construct a spinning sparge arm, similar to this one.

I had shared ownership of one (bought it with a few mates) and did over 30 brews with it. I gave up with it after the first attempt. This is known as vorlaufing. You keep doing it until you don't have any bits in the wort, it may take three, four or more two litre containers worth poured...

Good luck!

You need to cool the wort right down to "pitching temperature" before pitching the yeast. I tend to use dried yeast and ferment at 18C for ales. Getting the hot wort temperature down that low is often a struggle so I don't bother, as long as I get close to 25C I sprinkle the yeast on top and...

Wow that was you! Just listened to that this morning, it was very funny, and make no mistake!

I've been tempted to subscribe to Craft Beer & Brewing magazine many times and may take the plunge one day. It's my go-to place for recipes - there are a lot of dodgy ones out there but I feel I can trust theirs as I've had some great results. A little while ago they were offering a free copy...

Count me in please Ben. Thanks!

Hi there, please count me in too. As others have mentioned, thank you very much for your generosityclapa

Weird. I am literally going to make my first batch of elderflower champagne (ahem) today. Off to Wilko's this morning to buy a fermenter as my others are in use. A friend shared this recipe to me as it has worked for him in the past: Elderflower champagne · * 4 litres hot water ·...

Pritt Stick does it for me.

Just popped into Lidl and it's the 6l version for £39.99. No good for me unfortunately, I need the 18l one.

Very interesting :) Thanks for posting.
