Really cannot drink over carbonated english lager or light lager,make's me shudder to even think about them.

In 15 years I've never had this happen and thats hundreads of brews. Not an issue in my book.

Don't forget the end your sucking needs to be lower in hight than your brew, I have my beer on the bench and recieving vessel on the floor. If your using 1/2 inch tube rather than 3/8th tube this will make it harder,if you need to take a second breath stick your tongue in the end of the tube to...

what's that then? I dunno, this thread is just too complicated for me:confused:. Think i'll just stick to AG brewing,that i can get my head around:drunk:

I always use whole leaf hops in a muslin bag that i make up on my over lock sewing machine, It take's seconds to make and is realy cheep (I am from yorkshire after all!) just buy a yard of muslin from your local sewing shop.It will make a lot of hop bags for only a few pence. I fasten a bag of...

So he's a flasher then? when he's had a few too many to drink.

I'd like to hear an explanation of how your brew got it's name please? The "sweet cider" bit i get, but??:confused:

I vote'd room temp becouse i dont have a chiller for my beer keg's. So I just room condition for one week then put it down the celler that stays at 12/13oC all year. If i do lager I just bottle it and keep one in the fridge in my kitchen for when I fancy one.

You guy's are right not to go with a girl that don't like your brewing hobby. My brother is just getting shut of his wife after 12 years of not being allowed to brew beer, although wine was ok (becouse she drank it!). He is now planning like crazy on a 10 gallon brew plant and carn't wait to...

Flowers! he's been up to no good,or wants a new brew kettle. I'd give it to him too!

look's ok like this but you changed the torrified wheat to"english wheat malt" why? stick with torrified wheat and you will get a better head on your beer,more true to type in my experience.:mug:

Baker of hand crafted bread

I agrea with orfy,king kegs cannot be used at the same high pressure as corny kegs. With my king kegs i just add 5 tbls of white sugar at keg filling time and leave a few weeks to clear and build pressure,top up with co2 as and when needed.

Hi Aelfwyn, good luck with the mead brewing.never brewed it my self though. last week i had a "fullers organic honey dew" says it has honey in the recipe but puts it on the label as beer, i'm confused. is it mead when it's only made from honey? and beer if it's malt and honey?:confused:

Hi feedthebear, yeh that's no surprise,i see that a lot on amazon.uk thay have the book at say £15 and in the "new/secondhand" bit it could be £50 or more. to be honest i was a bit miffed at paying full price (for an new old book) untill i read this thread.:D

i'm having same problems with iregular carbonation in the bottle, so i was thinking of repitching with fresh yeast at the bottling stage, one that will settle to a firm sediment. just a thought but your not killing your yeast with verrrrry high alcohol levels are you :drunk:

Hi all, just seen this thread or i would have told you sooner, i just got a copy of that very book last week, brand new from this site http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/item1039.htm the price is £9.95, sorry it's in the uk for you guy's but even with shipping its gotter be faster and...

some thing i'm very surprised not to see on these pages has to be those digital infared thermometers things, mine's of very limited use.

I use "protafloc copper finings" 15 mins from end of boil in all but stouts and wheat beers. This is the quote from pack "protafloc is a blend of seaweed extracts and activity adjusters.its use achieves good coagulation of unstable proteins enabling rapid settling of hot and cold breaks." And...

Doing a "ayinger brau weisse" right now,love those wheat beers! 2nd to a good yorkshire bitter though.
