    Finally, new brewing space

    At the moment it's just my grainfather between the four of us but we're going to sort out a 1/2bbl or possibly bigger rig over the next month or so. 5 litres of beer each probably won't suffice! Well, something we're considering approaching them with, perhaps do a contract brew to dip our toes...

    Mould in brew, any chance of saving ?

    Hang on guys. Let's not be too hasty. He should split the batch in two and send half to me and the other half to Jack of all biers. We'll dispose of it in a suitable manner.

    Finally, new brewing space

    So unfortunately the brew didn't happen. Our grain order we made on the weekend for next day delivery didn't turn up. Was probably for the best, had some cleaning and sorting out of the gear to do as its all been sat in storage for a year or so. Anyway, got to test it out and make sure the...

    Finally, new brewing space

    The last 12 months has been terrible for brewing, in that I've had nowhere to brew. I had a go at brewing on the boat (temperature fluctuated between 14c and 28c over the course of two weeks) - that was a dumper. And there's a shared brewery in south London called UBrew that I joined for a...

    Want to try new grain

    I made a beer with Special B a while ago. Not sure why I didn't make more of it because it was delicious. Lots of caramel and dried fruit flavours, obviously good for Belgian beers, tasty in dark ales too.

    When I open my brewery (ha), home made pork pies will be a house speciality!

    Grain Mill

    If your budget can stretch a bit, get the Millmaster. https://www.cleverbrewing.com.au/millmaster-grain-mill.html One of those things you'll buy once and never need to buy again.

    G'day from pommyland

    AG! The four of us are going to a collab beer, a Pressure Drop Pale Fire (http://pressuredropbrewing.co.uk/pale-fire/) clone most probably, just to get used to the space and the gear.

    Thinking of ditching hop socks

    I used a hop spider a couple of times. It was certainly better for cleaning up at the end of the brew day but found that hop profile in every aspect - aroma, flavour and bitterness - was lacking so gave that up as a bad job. I know other people have had plenty of success with them so could be...

    G'day from pommyland

    Hey all, long time no chat and even worse, long time no brew. My boat-based (I bought a narrowboat to live on last year) brewing intentions haven't come to fruition (temperature being all over the place) and I've been trying to find a space to brew for the past 12 months. I did sign up for a...

    G'day from pommyland

    Just got back yesterday, managed to stay awake until 7.30pm before crashing heavily. Found myself a pub this morning and am just working my way through this pint of Siren Soundwave IPA. A pint of craft beer for $7.50. It's cracking! On the other hand, it's ******* cold here.

    Hello + Grainfather or Braumeister?

    You made these comments before about the Grainfather yet no one else seems to have experienced them. Or at least no one else here (that I've read) or on any of the Grainfather facebook groups. I suspect you've just been unlucky with yours, which can and does happen with any system you buy off...
