Surprisingly, it turns out Tesco carries a fair amount of brew kits and some basic equipment. Makes things a bit easier!

Amazing info – thanks Northern! Great username.... (•: Well, I'll probably have to suck up the delivery surcharges – they're way out there in Roth Shire, near Aultbae. Incidentally, one of my favorite breweries is there – An Teallach Ale. I think they would probably be a fine source of yeast...

Looking to buy a high quality starter kit to send to a family member in the Highlands. Anyone familiar with shops that have decent online stores in the UK, preferably Scotland? Something like this would be great https://www.northernbrewer.com/brew-share-enjoy-homebrew-starter-kit

Looking to make something weird (but hopefully drinkable): Here's what I have 1# DME 2# corn sugar .5# dark honey 5# juice oranges 4 blood oranges 1# belgian cara (don't have a grain mill, though) wyeast 4632 dry mead various herbs and spices standard all grain setup maybe a...

i had a broken cane (that i intended to use for the bmbf) and a good cane sitting in a bucket. after sampling a few from the keg i guess i grabbed the wrong one and started cutting an angle into the end...oops. but you know what? totally worth it! thanks!!

so how do you take the dip tube out? i'm the exact same problem with....the exact same beer! :drunk:

I think so. I forgot my last hop addition...I think the Schlafly has a bit more of a spicy aroma balanced with very subtle chocolate. If anything, I would make 1% of the grain bill chocolate and I'll remember my last addition of tetnang next time. BTW this has only been conditioning for 2...

Highly recommended!

Brewed this last weekend...hit a slightly lower gravity then expected (I still tend to mess up my water calculations). Super fast fermentation! Used a blow off tube and ended up with very highly flocculated, beautiful ruby-brown beer. Tasted the hydro sample and it was delicious. Slightly...

I don't blame you for not reading through the 3,000 pages in the original apfelwein thread...but you'll find people were reacting very much the same. It really is amazing how the apple flavor just reappears out of nowhere @ 5-6 months. I'm bummed I drank/gave away 3 gallons in the first 3...

FWIW, finished another 12 pack of schlafly esb this week... definitely going to go with dragon99's reco. on using the WL dry english ale yeast. There really is very little residual sweetness in this.

awesome! thanks for looking into that Dan! His description of the malt bill seems pretty right on (although I was initially thinking Carapils was contributing to the foamy head...i guess it could be the rye). Entering this into beer alch. the color is coming up a little light. I think just an...

For starters I'm thinking of tweaking biermuncher's ESB, but replacing the 1# of Cara with 2# rye flakes. Then balance out the malts (and hops, in turn) to hit ~6.5% ABV.

I'm so hooked on Schlafly's ESB this year. Incredibly drinkable, huge off-white head and no cloying sweetness or bitterness. Amazing! Here is their description: Winter ESB October 30 This Extra Special Bitter is an amber-colored, malty ale with plenty of hops to balance the flavor...

The one gallon experiments are worthwhile to do yourself, IMHO. With beer we all have our favorite tastes, in part, because there are so many craft beers to try. With ciders or apple wines, however, there really isn't a wide spectrum from which to draw from. Doing one gallon experiments yourself...

red star champagne should be very similar to montrachet

I've been thinking BM's centennial blonde would make an excellent Ginger Beer base as well. I'm wondering how the larger malt bill (in comparison to the almost 50/50 malt/sugar adjunct in this thread) in BM's blonde will effect the perception of ginger. I'm looking to brew the blonde with a...

just got mine. Thanks Jason!

Just cracked a few bottles of the date beer this week. It's great! I dry hopped this with an ounce of Willamette for one week. The nose is very sweet – lots of blackcurrant, some raisin, and a nice fruity plum like layer, as well. It fermented out to 1.010 but doesn't taste too dry, i...
