thanks for the replies, they do a 30 litre one but its another 40 quid, i shall keep looking or get the 25 and reduce the size of the brews

anybody had any experience of this? would this be good as boiler and HLT? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390370901658? ... 1438.l2648

economic climate with me. not the want of cheap beer but the fact that i work 6 and a half days a week and i can get a kit up and running in 20 mins, 4 days later another 20 mins into secondary with dry hopping. following week into a barrel. but one day i will get there :cheers:

do you mean for priming? if so, then 3 ounces will do you. the kit itself doesnt require the addition of sugar

i did a muntons gold ipa, 2 cans and cost me £22, i also did a geordie bitter cost 6.99 at morrisons and i used the geordie beer enhancer which is spraymalt and dextrose which was £4.99 i very much preferred the cheaper one can geordie but then i did also dry hop it

i had a cloudy rhubarb and i used kwik clear 2 part liquid finings, 24 hours later it was crystal clear

lovely yummy guinness. i drink it at pubs that dont have the sense to sell real ale. when they used to brew it at Park Royal in London you could really taste the difference in the 2 breweries. the Irish stuff was far superior. probably why the Park Royal Brewery was closed down years ago :cheers:

never attempted it but, i believe we brits used nettles to make ale before we were educated in the use of hops :D and when we started using hops we started calling the brew, beer :cheers:

thanks for that :thumb:

picked up 4 pineapples today, just wandering if anyone had a decent recipe to make up a 5 gallon batch. i had thought of chopping them up boiling them up skins included and then fermenting the lot for a few days before removing the pineapple and transferring to demijohns thanks tim

after i had syphoned the beer into another FV i left about a quarter pint behind with the sediment and then gave it a good stir up and then poured some into a wine glass. about half full. by the time i had mixed the geordie brew (about 10 mins) it was just about to bubble over the top of the...

its got all those lovely yeasties in it and they start working straight away

i have just moved mine to secondary FV. i used the sediment to start a geordie bitter off because i was told that the muntons is a far superior yeast and the geordie kit was £6.99 in my local morrisons, i am also going to dry hop it and see what happens

yes, its been racked off and i used pectolase at the start, i was just very surprised that it have fermented this quickly

just found out that these bottles fit a rubber bung perfectly. ideal for making a bit extra and using for topping up when racking. :thumb: apologies if you already know and do this :)
