Jim's Beer Kit

I remember them. Never had one though. My first kegs were King Kegs.

Bugger. Only just received some yeast from them. Good outfit. Nice guys.

@Marshbrewer--(post 2 years old now, aplogies!0--plastic caps are still about, they are all I've been using for a very long time now. I tried a crown corker, but never could quite get the hang of it. All good brewing supply shops sell the plastic caps.--(Can I name the 'go to' supplier?)--I use the...

Yes, I'm talking about the Adnams brewery dual strain yeast. The problem is keeping the ratio correct. Even the brewery has their Lab come up with a fresh batch in the right balance. They don't repitch that often.

It makes a good beer, albeit not Southwold. Keeping it going is beyond my skills so I end up getting fresh supplies as and when.

Just say you are part of Norwich Amateur Brewers, might grease the wheels.

Get yourself on the brewery tour if you haven't done it. Doubt you will get a brewer taking you round but if you do and if they take you to see the yeast brink.........

I admire your dedication to cracking this, if I'm right this is your version 9. I'm only up to 5. You may have inspired me to have another crack. Just need an excuse to get to Southwold.

Murphy's don't make Beer.

How'd it go? Anything since?

It’s like asking a 100m sprinter to suddenly run 800m hurdles , they will probably make it across the finish line but won’t be in the best shape. Don’t ask me for the exact biology behind it, although someone else might be able to provide that. Strangely enough it apparently isn’t true of Brett, pi...

As I said, he is a little vague. Good info for Rob and the team. I don't remember him saying anything different about GS Vs Southwold.

I was sure the first time I spoke to him about he said 90. Have you still got that recording? He has always struck me as being a bit vague about their water treatment.

Good point Rob. Under pitching in HB has happened for years. Seems the fear of over pitching is greater. Surprises me that the manufacturers haven't responded to this. Can't see how it would hit profits that much to bump up the size and as dried yeast is such good value they could even put the price...
