I was only thinking about this earlier in the week, I still have the second tasting to do!

I'm up for this again along with a possible "Cheese brew", but we will need Bob and PP for that one!

Hi Yeasty

I've signed up for this as I went to the homebrew weekend earlier this year and had a brilliant time! Even the other half enjoyed it.
I would highly recommend going.

Hi Dennis, it's good to have you on board. :thumbs:

We met at the Home Brew Festival earlier this year so now I've met 2 other brewers on this forum! That's almost a crowd...

Anyway, let us know how you find the switch from 3V to Biab.

First I must apologise for my extended absence. A combination of problems with our middle son, some very long work days and a death in the family sidelined me for a while. I now have time to write up the results of my first batch of tasting which I actually did quite a while ago! :blush: I arranged ...

I did my tasting last night (with results to follow). 11C was too cold. As they warmed up they improved. I will say that mine is seriously under carbed, Yettimans was spot on for carbonation. They were all a bit hazy. I'm going to reprime my second bottle as the rest of my brew in the corny is carbo...

If you are using a glass carboy you should keep it in th...

Ok, I'm with you now. It's best to keep the temperature high enough to allow the yeast to continue working as they will clean up some of the unwanted byproducts of fermentation. What temperature are you thinking of storing it at?

What are you storing it in? Is it bottled or kegged and if so have you primed it? General opinion is that if you have primed it in whatever container you intend serving from you should give it a couple of weeks around 20C to allow for the carbonation to occur and then store at a cooler temperature t...

Hi Joe In relation to your concerns about splurging lots of money, it's true, you can spend lots of money on this hobby but you don't have to if you exercise some restraint as you find out about the various bits of equipment available to home brewers. For BIAB all you need is a kettle and a bag. You...

My plan is to pour all 5 and number the glasses so that I know which is which. I will then sample each, as will my chief taster (Mrs Adman). She will do a blind tasting of all but the commercial (she needs to know what we were aiming for!) I will then note the feedback from both of us and post some ...
