Thanks. I'm going to do this tonight (Saturday) which I guess will be your noon.

Soooo.... You're saying, cook it all for 45min, then filter out hops with sieve, and shake it to airate. Then pitch yeast?

I'm sorry, I don't understand?

You are correct, it's a 4l demijohn. So I should run it through a sieve then?

This is my recipe for my first extract brew: 1lb dark spray malt 100g brown sugar 12g goldin hops yeast I'm planning to boil it all for 45 minutes. After which, do I leave the hops in for the whole ferment?

But surely pear juice should make perry?

Recipe: Tropical juice + 500g (about 1 pound) sugar + 2 tea spoons wine yeast. I'm trying this as an experiment. Do you think it'll work out? It's five days on now and it's bubbling something ferosious.

Hmmm, I so druck. It's great for doing anything. I onestly think I program better when I'm more down. Though my spelling not soo good. If I tries it woud probably be better. Anyway, well....

And out the back P.S. Soooo drunk...

Alright, I can't claim to understand all of that, aspecially because I'm more than a few homebrew's down. But the general idea is that less ABV = less calories. However, I don't really see the point of going below 3%, after all, then I could just buy her a bottle of vodka that she could mix in...

Well, this is more for my SWMBO than for me. I want to create a diet (low calorie) beer. I thought that I could use half the malt I usually use and use a sugar supplement to keep up the ABV. What do you think? P.S. I know that this will probably detract from the taste :( but it might be...

Hmmm, there's something magical about really old beer. I have yet to have the patience to allow one of my brews enouph time to become a year old.

Hi all. I just wanted to say I love homebrewing. I started brewing earlier this year and joined this forum at the same time. I've learnt a lot and have done many batches since. For all those of you that are starting off, it just gets better! I don't really drink commercial beer much anymore...

Well I'm in London UK and we aint never heard of a mild beer :cross: I like the idea of a DIY float, I think I'll try that. Thanks guys! :ban:

Well after botteling my beer for quite a while now I decided to buy a basic pressure barrel. I've got it now and it looks alright. I was just wondering about the fact that the tap seems to be set to draw beer more than an inch off the bottom. Won't this leave more beer behind than the desired...

Yeah, but hey are all hopped LME. I wanted to do some hopping of my own :cross:

You're probably right, I should start looking for a bigger pot.

Hi all I've been brewing kits for a while now and I think I have that down. My last couple of kits turned out really well. Now I'd like to make something a little more complicated. Therefore I'm turning to extract brewing. From what I can gather, all I need for a simple recipe is spray...

Oh. Barbie sounds good but I want a keg for my beer.

I didn't understad a word of that. Lamens terms please... or at least a longer explenation of what you think I should do.
