I've used malto-dextrin for priming a few times, but I read in Palmer's How To Brew that this is mostly unfermentable. Does this mean that the condition I got was from the residual sugars in the beer, rather than the action of the m-d?

Give them a phone call, Anette will sort your order out :wink:[/quote]

Thanks for the advice DaaB, but I've just ordered it all from Hop & Grape, 'twas quick & painless.

Looks like my copy is out of date then! I did wonder whether the newer editions had much extra information...

Just went to add a Fixby to my order on Easy Brew and noticed on the drop down menu it's priced at £15.99 :roll:

Hi All

You've had a couple of questions regarding the Pride Of Yorkshire special offer we have:

1. It is a new range for us, so we want to get our customers to try it. Whenever we get new products we try to get them out on special offer to start with.
2. The sell by dates are March and April 2008. The reason for the sale is as above, not because we haven't been able to sell them :=P
3. The only varieties now left are:
Linthwaite Light x 1
Almondbury Old x 2
Kirkburton Ale x 2
Honley Mild x 2
India Pale Ale x 2
West Riding Wheat x 3

How about also trying the Brupaks Brewer's Choice dry kits. I have made several of these and always been pleased with the results. The German Pilsner is my particular favourite, but I do leave it to mature in bottles for 6 months before drinking. Varieties available at 25% discount are:

Extra Special Bitter
Best Bitter
Irish Stout
German Pilsner
Czech Pilsner
Dusselforf Alt
Old Ale
premium Lager
Traditional IPA

If you visit www.easybrew.co.uk and click on special offers you will see them there - again this is whilst stocks last.

I liked the look of the Linthwaite Light, but i probably won't be doing a brew for a while.

Have you tried it, Mr/Mrs EasyBrew?

I am tempted by the special offers but have been having big troubles with my last order. It hasnt arrived yet and I placed the order over 3 weeks ago :x :( Not sure if I can wait that long for another order.
