good ideas, i was thinking about using a smaller batch size, so i'll deffinately do this as with the turbo yeast, and what kind of hot flavors are we talking about here?

what size of bottle was the vanilla extract, do you know? i'm not looking for award winning stuff, like txbrewer said, just something different

any advice making it taste better? i'm a real vanilla addict, and its first time going away from the 'norm'

how so?

dont know if this is in the right place, but i've had this ideo for and experiment that i would like to talk through. What i'm thinking of doing is fermenting off 5 gallon of water with, say, 5 or 6kg (13 pound) of sugar. Once the fermentation is done dump in some vanilla extract. then either...

I've been thinking abot making an AG lager that tastes of caramel and one that tastes of toffee. Been looking around and theres a lot of confusion with what things are called in the US and here in the UK. does anyone know how i would do this? is it a kind of grain that i would use? if so what...

thanks mate, just saved myself a lot of money hehehe :D

just wondering if anyone had heard of these guys? http://www.novanorm.net/ec-shop/index.html prices look quite good, and wide range of stock, only problem they in germany, and i'm in the uk. just wondered if anyone could give any advice, or could recommend anyone else with similar prices, thanks

thanks eveyone, put my mind at rest, as long as a dont have to dump it, should i transfer it to another 'john asap, or can i wait to my other 'john becomes free? (i set both off at the same time.)

thanks, its settled down a bit now, but foam on the top is still there, but its probs nothing, but theres a 4 inch deep layer at the bottom of the 'john thats cloudy, i dont undertand cause i've added pectolase, maybe its cause mangos are a pulpy fruit?

its mango thats from rubicon juice, couldn't afford to get that ammount of mangos needed lol

hi, i've never seen this before in any other batches of wine that i've made, worried that it might be Flowers of Wine, any ideas or suggestion? thanks in advance

that was condensed down into my words but that was the basic jist of it, it wasn't a reciepe, I was just looking at how i could do the process itself. i'm much better at experimenting than following a reciepe. though pd230soi's (thanks by the way) way of doing it was pretty much how they were...

I know this shoult most likely go in the partial mash section, but its a noob question so a thought i would post it here. i just read a guide that said to make a wort by the malt extract, dry or liquid, along with the grains and the hops, into a pan along with 6 or 7 pints of water, bring to the...

tell me about it, just wish i had the kit ta make all grain brews, would love to be able to make beer at that level, think i'll stick with extract then move onto DME, buying kit as i go, but i'm deffinately hooked.
