Cool, I will be drinking a Lazy Magnolia beer at the Great British Beer Festival in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it!

This thread is making me jealous :-( I can only fit one fermenting bucket in my temp controlled fridge so really can only brew every 3 weeks. This isn't producing enough beer to satisfy me! That said, it's a typical British summer (i.e. cold!) so I could probably get away with fermenting at...

Everyone hates the English, although this isn't particularly relevant as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are still part of Britain. Now, if you'd said support the Scots and f*ck the English, that would have made sense ;) I lived in Scotland for a year and generally visit 3 or 4 times a...

Er... Scotland is part of Great Britain. To the OP, I guess it depends on whether you want the beer to be 'authentic' or not. I had never heard of Ashburne before but this seems to be a US variety. My understanding is that IPAs used English malts so MO would be the way forward if you wanted...

Sup people, I am hoping you will be able to assist me with some queries. I brewed Edwort's Kolsch 3 weeks ago and was planning to lager it prior to bottling. I'm assuming it has reached FG but haven't checked yet, will do it over the weekend. I have searched the answers to all of these...

It's all one word - Newcastle. It's probably cheap because it's, er... cheap. It's made by Heineken. I don't really see it much in the UK any more, not sure if this is because I just ignore it or whether pubs aren't selling it so much. I used to drink this a lot when I was younger. But my...

Oh, thank goodness! I KNEW I wasn't really a rapist!

I dumped a batch that looked exactly like that. However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have bottled anyway and just seen what happens...

Sup, Just thought I'd bizzump this 4-year-old thread rather than start a new one (it shows that I have done a search, which makes people like me more). I have a Kolsch which has been in primary just over 2 weeks. I was going to transfer to secondary for lagering next weekend (assuming FG...

Nitrogen is unnatural and cheating!!! Boo to Guinness and whatever other beers use it :-) (All IMHO, of course...)

Best thread evar!!!!

I brewed this 3 weeks ago and bottled today. I modified the hop schedule slightly in that I did a 60 minute addition and then 15, 10 and 5 minute additions. I added another oz during chilling one the wort got down to 80 degrees Celcius. So I ended up using over 5 ounces of hops which...

Link doesn't apply but I had my eye on a similar package at an online HBS over here. Just happens to cost about twice as much... Cheers dude.

Ha! I'm such a ******, I didn't even think of that :-) Well played, I think this is exactly what I'm gonna do. Thanks!

Howdy y'all As I am apparently excellent at my job, I will be given some extra cash in my pay this month. I am considering buying a couple of corny kegs but not sure whether it's worth it in light of the equipment I have at my disposal. Hoping for some advice... There is a 'spare' fridge...

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! Sorry, don't have anything of value to add to this thread. But boy, am I looking forward to Skyrim coming out. Might have to take a week off work...

Cool, will keep an eye out for it and let you know what me and my buddies think!

Are you from a commercial brewery? If so, which one? I'll be at the the Great British Beer Festival and would like to keep an eye out for your beer. I do try to stick to the British beers only but I am sucker for some of the styles coming from the US and I can't always help myself... +1 on...

I don't get the obsession with Guinness. Over here in the UK it is ubiquitous and I would suggest the reason you found it watery is that it's essentially a BMC-type beer. Not in terms of the style, obviously, but in terms of the size of the brewery and associated pitfalls. The nitrogen gives...
