    Anyone try Prazsky?

    It seems to be invading my country at the moment in off-licenses (liquor stores for you yanks ;) ). I really like it, without a doubt my favourite lager. It's a czech beer and tastes just like Staropramen IMHO (it's made by them afaik). Friend of mine works in an off-license and tells me...

I could buy 12 kilos of sugar for every kilo of DME here. So I'm just wondering, how bad would it be to...

    Crystal Malt: damn SG..

    Okay this is my second attempt at brewing. My first one ( https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=2231 ) was just malt extract, no hops or grains. Since, I think I've read almost the entire howtobrew site and (thought I'd) learned a lot from my mistakes in the first one. The first one...

    How am I doing so far? When should I bottle?

    My first post and beer brew. I sanitised the fermentor and all utensils with vwp. Boiled 1.6Kg of John Bull unhopped Diastatic LME in 4 litres of water for 15 mins. Cooled quickly in a water bath then added to filtered water already in the fermenter and topped up to 23L (5 UK gallons). My...
