I recently had a couple of pints if the summer ale when I was last in the states ... it was a nice pint

Just finished an epic brew day ... Hope this beer tastes good when it's done ...otherwise it's 5 gal of lawn feed:) what a mess !!!!

I'm in England I'd I almost choked on my dinner reading this ... That's ridiculous !!! You could of got all the grains posted from England for half of what you paid in the US , I'm all for supporting local brew shops I've got a grate one near me called the hop and grape( they post to the US) ...

Thanks ... It certainly appears I racked to soon i was just in a rush ... And I've always been ok after a week in the primary before I put it in the secondary for 2 weeks , I'll guess I'll just see how it turns out hopefully as good as two hearted ...

Hi I racked off my batch of two hearted ale a week ago ... I probably moved it from the primary a couple of days to soon :( anyway in return I've got a decent yeast cake in my secondary, and unusually for my beers it has a yeast cake on the top that is suspended .., I was just wondering how this...

Hi I've recently purchased a kegerator :) it came with one Heineken 1/6 keg and the set up for the keg is ready to go for this type of keg.... So before I start cutting and changing tubes etc I wondered if anyone knew where I could get another one in the uk ...

Thanks ... Ive decided to give some extract /oil ago it's the only way to find out for myself if it's any good or not .., I'm sure some brewery's are using this sort of stuff for aroma ...:)

Maybe , I'll just stick with traditional methods .., I've not heard of this extract before .., perhaps there is a reason :)

Sorry about the spelling .. Fat fingers on my I phone ...anyway , I was thinking of brew dogs punk Ipa ... Or if you in the U.S something Like a two hearted ale .. So aroma more than the bitterness ..

I was thinking on an easy way to get I big hop hit in my beer ... Then thought maybe a but of chemistry and extract it somehow .. However I've only just discovered you can buy hop extract .. So my question is gas anyone tried it ...?????
