He sells all types of brewing equipment and ingredients. It's sad because I don't like going in there anymore. I get my supplies online now. It just annoyed me that he said that all grain takes 7 hours. Surely he should be telling them it depends on your system?

I don't feel bad calling them noobs as I'm still relatively new to the hobby. He has also told me that all grain is too much hard work and I should stick to extract. Being called a noob is not offensive in my book.

Hay people. Just a little thing here. I went into my local home brew shop here in England and I over herd a convocation between two noobies and the hbs owner. They wanted to get into brewing and wanted to know more about the all grain process, the owner then began to tell the noobs that all...

It depends on what setup u want and the space available to you. Also weather you want to just buy all the equipment ready to go, or weather your good at DIY projects. I made my own mash tun and wort chiller. It saved me a lot of money. :)

This is a great place to learn and I've found everyone very helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Someone will help :)

Congrats. Welcome to the hobby. Enjoy :)

Haha. I know I must resist temptation. Especially when I know it tastes soo good now. I have other beers ready to keep my mind off the stout :)

First ever dry Irish stout! All grain. Very very happy. Only 3 weeks old. Will save for Christmas

Looks good. I'm currently doing a chinook ipa. Chinook is awesome!! Happy brewing

I wouldn't use cascade at the 60 min boil as its more of a aroma hop. Also are you dry hopping? :)

IbrewMaster is awesome! I've had it for a couple months now and couldn't brew without it. It lets you print your recipes for brew day too. :)

I was just looking at these electric brewing kettles, the cheaper ones look ok but do they last? I don't really need one with a thermostat as it would only be used to boil my wort. Any good places to buy one? I looked at Lidl and couldn't find anything. Cheers

Hmm just what I was thinking whilst brewing. But outside brewing is hard as it rains a lot here in England. Maybe a electric kettle?

Haha you would be right. I'm from England. Yes it took 45 mins from mash to boil. It was a long night of brewing. So if you split the pots you just half your hop editions for each pot?

So I'm brewing for the first time in my new house and it has a electric hob. It's taken me 45 mins just to get to the hot break!! Any tips on improving this?

I've improvised and come up with this. It seems to work well

Cheers. I have never used either. I live in the UK and decided to stock up on American hops. But I need to make a stout for Xmas and I'm low on money so ill need to use either of these hops. I don't really want aroma so I take it ill go with the highest AA%

Hi all, just a quick question, I'm doing a dry stout for the first time and I only have chinook and willamette hops. Which would be best? Or is it down to preference?
