Hi folks, A pal of mine uses beer kits and stupidly used a can of unhopped plain malt extract instead of the can of ingredients he had purchased and didn't realise until after he'd added the yeast into his fermentation bucket. He doesn't really have facilities for extract brewing at home. Is...

I bought a few army laundry bags from ebay and took them to my local Zipyard outlet in Glasgow. They stitched two of them together with reinforced seams for only £5. Used it a few weeks back and had no problems. The seller on ebay is called arturbernarduk

That is great - thanks for posting! I've been extract brewing for about 6 months and was going to stick to that for 2014 to get a better understanding of the different varieties of hops, specialty grains etc available. Not sure if this is a good plan any more, wonder if I should just get stuck...

Cheers Duncs, I brewed USA5 - glad you liked it! :thumb: My review of USA3 - a great, copper coloured, strong beer. Excellent use of cascade, Columbus, simcoe and Amarillo hops. I've only used cascade out of those four - will defo buy the others in the future. Good head retention throughout...

Yeah - me too Rob! :cheers: Neil

Hi folks, Will be bottling Black Rock's Nut Brown Ale kit this weekend at some point. Used 1kg of dark spraymalt with the kit. Primary fermentation went off like a rocket, stalled, and then started again following a good stir. It's currently giving a reading of 1014 and has been in primary for...

Hey billy994, how did you get on with your Black Rock Nut Brown last year - I've one in the FV as I speak. After a vigorous couple of days fermenting, my yeast decided to have a wee break. Managed to get it going again last night!

Hi folks, I'm new on this forum. Been home brewing for about a year (from kits so far) and am loving every minute of it. Currently have a brown ale in the fermenter and slowly working my way through bottles of 8% belgian trippel and 4% Austrailian IPA. Nice! Neil
