Well just sipping my first bottle of my hopped up Australian pale ale this one has the chinook hops in it..... Not bad but not as Hoppy as I had hoped. Not really that grapefruity but definitely an improvement on the non hopped article. Got the citra one chilling and will post back later...

Nice one thank you. I may go for chinook instead of citra (depends what mood im in when i buy them) Really can't wait to try this out. I have a cider kit and a pinot grigio to bottle off next weekend then we're all systems go. Will order hops sometime next week.

I (will) have two spare fv in a few weeks and plan to split the fermented ale between them and use two different hop varieties (one in each fv) just to see what works better. I have a question though, how much hop would I need per 10ltr? Thinking I'm going to get cascade and probably citra in...

@clibit I just bottled off the better brew IPA last week... Wish I had spotted that thread earlier. Going to crack open a bottle of it tonight, just for research purposes. :) Just incase you may be on this forum I think your name was Dave or davie , the party was in cross gates fife. Your...

Fantastic! Thank you all for your input. Will definatly be giving this a go. I have a coopers Australian pale ale kit which I'll use for this as its a nice light ale. Now to decide on what hops to go for from your suggestions...... Hmmmm. :thumb: :grin:

Excellent its on my next shopping list. Not sure how I missed that one :doh:

Dam! Was hoping for an easy kit + hop tea bag kinda thing. Haven't even thought of tredding towards mashing etc.. Only been brewing since November 13 and mashing etc is way beyond my comfort zone and present skill level. Are there any punk IPA kits? Or can someone maybe suggest a kit plus hop...

Hi all Was at a party about 6 months ago and a bloke there had this wicked home brew. It tasted like malt to begin with then finished with a massive slap of grapefruit. It was fantastic and no one seems to know who he was but most remember his beer. No idea about what it was other than an...

:D So, getting all the damaged stuff replaced f.o.c. (free of charge) :D And I also have two add back pouches from the cider kits (Ritchies) which miraculously survived I'm guessing I should be able to use these in a turbo cider?? Defiantly going out for some apple juice tomorrow...

I couldn't agree more. Due to this fantastic customer service ( and my previous service from them ) I won't be buying elsewhere. :cheers:

OK then. The home brew shop. WWW.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk Kick ass customer service and mega fast delivery. Thanks guys. :thumb: :clap:

Believe it or not it was parcel force ( parcel farce now!) I logged a complaint with customer service and sent photos. The sender has been sent the photos too. They were excellent and have agreed to resend damaged articles. ( don't know if I'm allowed to name them) but hat. s off to them I'm...

It looks like it has been dropped from a fair height. Still waiting for the seller to get back to me it is only just gone 9 so I guess they will soon.

I took some photos whilst I unboxed it. I was just wanting to return the whole box but I doubt any carrier would take it back given the state of it. Suppose I'll have to wait until the seller opens his/her email today. Any way its friday , its brew day and I finish work at 6 then no work until...

Thanx mate On my third......fourth :doh: just got that!

Sorry what does that mean?

Yeah it looks like the tw@ who delivered it either dropped it or set about it with a bat. The syrup has seeped into the lids of the beer cider kits and ruined the paper/foil yeast satchets. The wine which came in a plastic drum is cracked and has leaked everywhere. The beer and cider cans have...

Before I start please do not take any of this to heart and if I offend anyone I apologise. So just got my brew stuff ordered yesterday and got the email to say delivery today. I waited and kept checking the tracking status. About 1.30 pm it changed from pending to delivered ..... Well its not...

Of course :doh: forgot about the malty goodness. Oh well looks like another order from the home brew shop is called for! Will need to scrape some pennies together or ask swmbo for some of my wages!

Lol glad everyone has a sense of humor here! Just bought a box of bags of white sugar from Aldi 79p per 1kg. Should be good for a few batches of beer and my Ritchie's lime and rasp.
