Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of using the following recently released English hops? I want to make a "transatlantic IPA", celebrating both the American and English IPA styles. I plan to use some of all of these hops. As a side issue, do you think WLP007 (Dry English Ale Yeast)...

Hi all, It's elderflower season here in England, so I want to pick some, dry it, and throw some into a little experimental 2.5 gallon batch of ordinary bitter. I want a nice, clean summer ale with a lovely floral fragrance. How much dried elderflower should I use? I want a definite floral...

Hi all, I'm a BIAB brewer and I'd like to try first wort hopping. John Palmer advises that, in traditional mash and sparge, you add the hops to the boil kettle during first running. I understand that the sparge process can take some time (don't know, never done traditional all-grain brewing)...

Hi all, I've just brewed this (perhaps a New Zealand Pale Ale?) today, following an impromptu visit to my local homebrew shop and unexpected bonus Brew Day. I realise it's probably a bit of a quirky recipe - result of a desire to use up some old stock and a new batch of new world hops in the...

Hi all, Here is my draft recipe for a strong Belgian-style Ale - I'd love some advice about how to proceed. I'm aiming for a clean dry beer, and trying to use British and British-origin ingredients (hence EK Goldings for Styrian Goldings for example) instead of continental European ones where...
