Re: Back to brewing, this time!
Well anyway…thinking of a mild next, GW’s Gales Festival Mild from his book. Any hints and tips? I have the ingredients as the recipe and wondered if the US05 yeast would be ok. Actually I have some pale ale fermenting with some now so could take some of that if that would be advisory?

Re: sugar
Just make sure if you do use ‘household’ sugar that its cane not beet sugar. Beet gives off flavours iirc.

Back to brewing, this time!
Having been proper ill a while back i had only managed two or three brews in the last four years, thought i was done for at one point. Lifting was a problem, wife bought me a G30, bless her. Still had problems and couldn’t be arsed, realised it was not so much the brewing as the back breaking bottli...

Re: Brewing this today
Did a user upper today! So damn rusty though, a catalogue of errors! I thought the mash had stuck, added a light spray malt to compensate, oh no….so added more hops to compensate, well 1045og became 1056 and I have yet to work out what chucking all the hops in means…who cares! It’s beer and it was f...

Re: starting all grain brewing
Whereabouts are you Ian? I recently switched to Grainfather system so have lots of all grain equipment I want to sell, anywhere near Cornwall?

Re: Ind Coope Long Life
I can remember my old dad letting me try this from his pint glass in the early 70s, my first beer memory. I was taken by the bitter/sweet taste! I never looked back! Perhaps I should add it to my brewlist!

Re: Graham Wheeler’s Wadworth 6X recipe variations
Blimey! You dont want all that black in 6X! Off to correct my book. Well spotted! I expect GW meant medium crystal, about 150EBC? I've never used any of these sugar block things, though I've used golden syrup, black treacle and honey in stouts. Would any of those be (ballpark) substitutes for sugar ...

Re: Adnams Southwold Bitter
Well this has been a brilliant read, thanks folks! Lovely to see that in a modern computer age Dave Line is still highly regarded. Also that the smell of dust on valve radios is still being experienced, always reminds me of my grandma's house. Ed Stewarts Junior choice, horse racing and 'Lillibulero...

Re: Maltmillers Timothy Taylor's Landlord Kit
I think it was the first thing i did on my Grainfather last year, only made three brews on the machine, been ill, away etc....its a fantastic pint and it all went VERY quickly. I hope to be back brewing soon.

Re: King Keg top or bottom tap preferred?
Good old Graham, I miss him!
Still use his books as inspiration. I think if you practice good hygiene the beer should be the same from both, after all there’s a blanket of CO2 over it.

Re: Pastry Stout is Brewed. It's a bit of a beast!
I dont think I've ever heard of pastry stout. That looks the strength of something to go with Christmas pudding next christmas! Sleepy warming stout...mmmmm.

Re: Why do you brew?
I love the process, the aromas, the whole thing. Except cleaning, that’s rubbish. New GrainFather is a help though but. Love tweaking a recipe, GrainFather s buggered that up as the self same recipe tastes different to my old rig! Also love people to take an interest, ‘you can’t make beer as good as...
