I shall open all five (including the commercial and sample each in a blind tasting. I'll drink the rest of the bottles over the next couple of nights, I know it might lose a bit of carbonation but If I try to taste over multiple nights my comparisons will be off. And if if try to finish all the bott...

Didn't change it much, just to modify it for my equipment. Plus the yeast

The rest is as the original sheet..

Might pop one open this week end just to try one out.

If I can work out how to post a piccy I will upload a photo

Hi, Not sure about the kits you have seen, but the ones I have come across had the grain double milled. PP has written a great post about whether to double milling or not, I think I remember correctly that it is not needed if you mash with the full amount of water for the full 90 minutes. If I am wr...

Sorry I took so long lads, I was determined not to be last to post, but things got in the way.

Does it cause off flavours? I have heard that it helps the yeast, but it can cause cloudiness? Is th...

Hi, I thought I'd chip in. Not directly relevant to your self build, but there is a commercial system in the US that is a Kettle and Fermenter. I found it on a YouTube video, but cannot find it again. The guy was brought it by his girlfriend, he only brewed kits in it, so did not need go mash, but i...

Colour looks spot on mate,

Mine will be another 3 weeks before I crack one open, but will be happy if it looks like yours :)

Hi HB, The first full release will be coming out soon (so I would hold off till then, and transfer your brew sheets over). Not sure when the announcement will be, but once it is out, I think it will be a solid release for quite a while. I know from one of the other threads that a recipe DB is going ...
