    Yesteryear beers and were they as good as we remember

    I'm just drinking the 1st pint of Worthington White shield from Graham Wheeler's recipe. I don't remember it personally, but it's everything I like in a bitter. I'm pretty sure I remember drinking Worthington E from a big tin when I was a young lad (party 7? I could be wrong though), and I...

    what ***** designed the silicone seals for the grainfather

    I saw this somewhere: fill the GF with your mash water, insert the bottom plate as far as you can (without dislodging the silicon seal), then lower the grain pipe gently into the water. When the pipe is in all the way, use the grain basket handle to sharply pull the grain basket upwards. The...

    ****Fermentasaurus Mega Giveaway****

    Yes please, I'm thinking of replacing my old fermenting buckets and the Gen 2 starter kit would fit the bill nicely.

    Which beer could we brew that most resembles a medieval ale?

    The cheap and easy way to aerate your wort.

    I brew with the grain father, and one of the drawbacks that I've noticed with it is the slow transfer rate from the counterflow chiller, After a few batches that stopped at 1.014, I decided that I needed more oxygen in my wort to aid fermentation. I've seen loads of gadgets that do this, costing...

    Recycled Human Urine Beer

    So they think people will buy more of it if they think it's made of piss??? That kind of marketing wouldn't work on me, I'd rather drink Fosters.

    Homebrew Hop Shop

    This has now been resolved satisfactorily. The homebrew hop shop were let down badly by their supplier. I changed my order to something a little more expensive with no extra charge and sent by next day delivery. Please don't let my post dissuade you from ordering from them, I'm sure this was a...

    Malt Miller Order

    I usually use MM, but the malt window puts me off, everytime I look they are not taking malt orders.

    A long time coming

    A lot of us use an old undercounter fridge, fitted with a tube heater and controlled by an inkbird 308. All reasonably cheap (especially compared to a stainless glycol fermenter, they are on all our dream lists). Or you could choose a yeast that will tolerate higher temps, kveik I believe is...

    A long time coming

    Hi welcome, I have the grainfather and am very happy with it. I find it very easy to use and have had no problems yet. At £339 the robobrew is a great price and is much the same as the grainfather, I believe. If I was buying now, I'd be looking at the robobrew, but I don't think I'd be able to...

    Malt Miller Order

    I recommend The Homebrew company. I ordered a 25kg bag of malt and it was delivered in 3 days from Ireland. Been waiting a month for an order from Plymouth!

    Will you drink in Wetherspoons when pubs re-open?

    If there is still Wetherspoons after this **** storm, yes. There are going to be a lot less pubs than before, unfortunately. They're not my 1st choice venue, but when travelling you know what kind of establishment to expect. I can't ever see social distancing working in any pubs, without...

    Using beer gas with a corny keg.

    I use 10 psi at every stage, I only have one regulator to supply 3 kegs. I don't roll the kegs to force carb, I just leave it for around a week and it's fizzy enough for me. The only drawback I suppose is that carbonation is probably a little low in my lagers, but I don't really like highly...

    Vacuum Sealer

    +1 for the Andrew James. I find that the bag rolls that are smooth on one side, retain the vacuum whereas the ones that are dimpled on both sides always seem to let air back in.
