It very much is a disease... One you willingly contract.

He's coming over this Sunday so I can show him an all grain brew day. He's gone with a coopers extract kit of now as they are cheap and a nice gateway into it. If he doesn't like the length of an all grain brew day guess I'm teaching him how to do extract brews.

So I went around to my neighbours house Friday night and took a selection of my beers over for them to try... 10am the next morning I get a call from said neighbour "hey I'm at the homebrew shop, what do I need to get started you have made me jealous." I am taking this as a victory for the team.

Hopslist is the place to look, they don't have pairing hops listed but that's easily worked out from the flavour/aroma description

I store mine in the shed at the end of the garden, had one neighbour ask "are you growing something dodgy back there" he came around that night and left stumbling

So how does this thing work? It's a kind of pump, from the looks of your pics, that takes nitrogen out of the air and pumps it in? No need for refills ever?

Have you tested with fo only and some dry hopping?

It's more diluting the bitterness I bet

The idea is to buy already frozen ones that /should/ be safe from anything from the manufacturing process rather than fresh and freeze yourself.

That was my thoughts, I dont mind shelling out for the more expensive stuff but it's always nice to save a few if I can

I started off with an infrared thermo for mash temps and found it infuriating as the bubbles on the top of the mash give you much lower readings so it requires a bit of a stir. You can get a meat probe thermo for about the same price however

Hey guys planning on doing a maple stout and was wondering if the cheaper maple syrup which isn't pure is fine to use or should I throw the extra money at it and get the pure stuff? One I'm looking at atm is https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/286784549 Thanks

When your looking at moving to a small island and the first thing you check (after house prices) is if you can buy grains hops and yeast... Btw you can :)

Right the first time
