Many thanks

Many thanks for the advice.

Many thanks

Many thanks again. I think I will give that a go. Hops in at start of book and will put the rest in when fermentation nearly complete. Do you just scoop these out afterwards

I’m still quite new. I put my hops in during the boil. I’m guessing you don’t do that. Any advice welcome

Lol yeah I know what you mean. When do you add dry hops please

yes many thanks for your advice. I m going to try a pale ale next fingers crossed. Think I have got booked in this beer brewing

arrr will do many thanks for your advice

Arr ok. Think I'm going to bottle it end of this week and hopefully be able to drink in a week or so. Only managed to get around 18 litres but strength has come out good. Probably have a couple over Christmas and then leave it.

Hi Just made my first Porter. So pleased how it has turned out. Will be adding some plum favouring before I bottle it. It has come out at a lovely 6.69%. Will definitely be doing another brew in January

Hi many thanks for your advise. Will be back in touch when I try another batch. Many thanks again. Nige

many thanks for your reply. Only thing I didn't have was any bubbles in my airlock at all. Will try making another batch. I still wander wether I put to much water in.

No sorry didn’t taste it and yes it tastes sweet now. It was bubbling in fermentation bucket but not coming up through airlock and only lasted 2 days.

I used munic malt. Fermentation did not appear in airlock but when lifting the lid I could hear it bubbling away, used fast acting crossmyloof ale yeast. Nig bottled as yet. OG was 1.008. Sorry all new to this, hope this makes sense. Many thanks

Hi mashed it with 14 litres and I think in total 8 lb malt. I used crossmyloof ale yeast 10g. Only measure gravity when I noticed that air lock had not bubbled. Gravity was at 1.008 in 2 days. Have googled yeast and says it is fast acting. I’m wandering if I have added to much water when I was...
