My kegerator is now operational, however I've got a few jobs to do. Firstly, I need silicon (or similar) to seal around the gas line which goes through the side of the fridge. Secondly, I need to work out whether installing a shelf for the kegs or hacking at the door is the best way to fit the...

Hi Silver, This looks interesting so thanks for sharing. If you don't mind answering a couple of questions: 1. Do you leave your serving keg at normal pressure? 2. You mention a splitter tap. Would that be something roughly like this- Cheers, Rukh.

My Nelson Sauvin saison. The recipe worked well in Sydney, but the cooler weather in London (and not to mention different water profile) means that this recipe would benefit from reducing the bitterness and maybe adding some Munich malt. Then again, perhaps I should just stick to English...

I managed to scrore some new "glasses" for Christmas. Here's what I ran through them... Shepherd Neame Christmas ale in a pitch-lined mug. The smell of leather is a little off-putting, but once you're taking a swig (and your nose is inside the mug), the smell disappears. The beer itself is a...

I know you said that you've got Munich covered, but I agree with Foles that Bamberg is amazing. I did it as a day trip from Munich and really enjoyed the beers (they're not all smokey), the food and the town itself. Travel time was about 2 hours (each way) from Munich on the train using a...

~drool~ thanks for the write-up. I'll have to start hunting for AA6 - plus more of the earlier ones!.

This isn't the greatest picture in the world, but I think you get the idea. This beer engine was advertised as brand new and I managed to pick it up off ebay for 25 + 20 for postage (I'm in the UK). I was disappointed when it turned up as it was used and wasn't clean at all. Whilst I was...

Wow - you've done some digging around to find this thread! Thanks for the offer, however I was able to sort something out with Josh. It almost went pear-shaped though when my mum (who's storing the collection at an undisclosed location :P ) dropped a crate with Anniversary Ales 1-5 in them...

I've just ordered some Bramling Cross rhizomes from my local hop supplier so I can't wait to grow my own again. I was considering Goldings given that I live in Kent, however I don't live in East Kent so that just wouldn't be right. :P

A few recent beers.. Scapa Special is a 4.2% Best Bitter. Apparently it won 2008 champion beer of Scotland and I can see why. It's easy drinking with all the right hints of hops and flavour. I'd definitely buy more of this one. Double Old Thumper was a present to my father-in-law, although...

And a few other beers that I've tried this year... The most notable beer being Monsieur Rock which is a collaboration brew between Sharps brewery and Jean-Marie Rock, brewmaster at Orval Brewery. The beer was a touch overcarbonated, but then settled down nicely with nice Saaz character...

On to Vienna and I had a Mrzen (+Vienna schnitzel) at 7 Stern Brau which they brew on the premises. This beer was amazing. It had the malty background that you'd expect from this style, however it had great hop presence. I could've (and should've) drank it all night long. Their Helles was...
