Yup, I saw your post, Andy and I am thinking about it. I guess the only thing stopping me is the rather pleasing fact of the minimal equipment used to produce a result... ;)

QUOTE (Daft as a Brush @ May 5 2006, 11:00 AM) Thats rather a lot of work for a couple of mouthfuls of beer reg...all you need to upgrade is a Lidl cool box and an element for your bin. Mash in the cool box and pour the grains into the mash/sparging bag supported in a FV with tap and run off. Less work..more beer :beer
Wasn't quite the point of the exercise DaaB... ;) Anyway I'm off up North to pick up the Missus... :D

All those pics & not a single Poodle in sight :lol:

I bet reg was brewing while Mrs Reg was away, so that any strange staining on the kitchen floor could be blamed on the poor little Poodle :wall

That's the plan once the recipe is perfected, mate... :D

In any case the beer is looking pretty much fully fermented and is already clearing out. :beer

Heh... ;)

I go away for a couple of days and what happens... :D

The Poodle needs another bath, the beer is firing out yeast under slight pressure like a good'un and as for my toothbrush, I made it into the electric age some years ago although that old pan scrubber may soon be the only thing that'll remove the caked mud and unmentionable other things from my poor dog!

The missus went to see the midwife today and had another listen to Reg/Reggie MkIII... :)
