I'm from Birmingham in the UK by the way

hi I'm thinking of selling my all grain set up, where would be the best place to sell this? Anyone know anybody who would be interested? Includes the kitchen & sink!

Hi, I've done a few brews now and bottling is becoming abit of a chore, so I've bought a plastic pressure barrell 5gal keg with gas, I've got a beer fermenting will be done in a week or so, just not sure how to get the best out of the barrell Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've come to rather enjoy Marstons EPA I fancy kicking off 2014's brewing with an brew of something similar. I've no idea where to start recipe wise (my inexperience prevents me from even trying to guestimate types of hops it might contain), so any tips, pointers, or recipe suggestions would...

I'm looking to make a beer called the old golden hen from the uk, anyone tried to make this? Any idea of ingredients?

Thought I'd let you all know how my stout turned out... I took a final gravity reading and it read 10:13 as the instructions said so somehow I hit the target! Opened my first bottle just and it actually tastes good!

That's a good read thanks

Ok but how, if I can make it with a home brew system?!

Hi all, I've made my first all grain brew last week, a Guinness extra stout tribute, my question is how can I replicate the creamy smooth texture rather than just co2 like my other beers I have made, is there something different I can add to the fermenter other than sugar to get this result?

I'll look into them, I'm thinking of doing the September mash course! Where do you live? I'm from stourbridge in the West Midlands

Cheers Tim I appreciate the advice, I've watched a lot on you tube already there is a lot of good videos ill keep watching them So is it possible I could have reached my 10:42 goal with my mash but having added just water to the fermenter after the boil diluting it down?

Ok sounds like a plan, but how would I archive the 30 litres for the boil? Just keep adding sparge water to the mash waiting 20 mins then draining? How can I gauge I'm getting the correct conversion as I go? Would I be right in saying take a hydro reading as I go? My mash tun is 26litre my...

My strike water was boiled and left to cool down to 77*c then added to the grains, I bought a digital probe thermometer and I have a youngs stick thermometer which I compared before I started brewing and are within 1*c of each other, I emptied the mash into a fermenter tub so I could see the...

Thanks Martin, yeah I thought that as I did it, I sparged and emptied straight away just restricted the flow out I had no real way of telling if I was doing the right thing I've got a 30 litre boiler above my mash, I've made my own sparge arm into my mash so I fly sparge, just think ill have to...

I didn't realise the hydrometer as calibrated to 20*c?! I only took a reading once in the fermenter ill attach a picture of the instructions about the grain etc I added around 15 litres of water to the grains my mash cool box is 26 litre and it was a few inches from the top! I didn't really...

The temperature when entering the fermenter was 30*c so wasn't hot, we're having abit of a heat wave in the uk at the moment so it's proving difficult to get it lower!

Ok so the mash was 1 h 30m then sparged it collected 15 litres of dark liquid and 5 litres of lighter liquid, over half hour, boiled that and topped up the fermenter to 5 gal should I of just collected 11.2 litres as it says on the instructions and then boil that? How would I get 5 gallon at the...

I didn't know I could add anything, was my process correct or should I have just collected the 11.2 litres? Then what? Add water?!? Could of been that I opened my valve on the mash too quick I was done in 20/30 mins
