Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Hi Lads, the Skink is back. having done a few brews out of Zainasheff's book, I've decided to try one from Brew Your Own Real British Ales, and opted for the Castle Eden Fuggles IPA. I've entered the figures and followed the advice I had written down from an old post about converting these recipes, ...

Rumours of the demise of Skink have been greatly exaggerated

Yea, though I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death... Okay, let's not get back into all that. I've been missing for a long time, due to that 'orrible four letter word, WORK. It's the classic Catch 22 really - when I wasn't working, I had no money to brew, and now I'm working, I've n...

According to Biabacus, we should have had 24.5, and the gravity reading was 1.052, where it should have been 1.056. All in all though, I think th...

Yeah, he's called Number 7! But seriously, the brew is in his house, and we have been having amazingly high temperatures for this usually rain-sodden little island. We have a stick on thermometer for the fermenting bucket, and we are putting the bucket into a large bath. Number 7 has been instructed...

Aiee, over 500 views? Skink, son of Skunk, of the arseless trousers, dost not know whether to be flattered, honoured, or just amazed that so many have readeth this drivel! But, just in case my adoring public (?) thinketh that Skink hath disappeared uppeth his own bum, do not be dismayed...Skink and ...

Sir Bob, think thyself lucky thou art still a knight, after thy treacherous and treasonous actions regarding the Brotherhood of the Sacred Tap...if it were uppeth (?) to me, I wouldst strip you further, but Ye Olde Admin have refused this, for fear of frightening little children (thy might noteth he...
