    Candi Sugar...

    Slightly misleading title; I know how to make candi sugar. But imagine my surprise when I woke up and found what had happened to 8KG of freshly mashed Maris Otter. I think the give away are the words 'woke up'... Anyway, anyone got any cleaning tips...?

    Brewery Tour.

    I'd not seen this, but have now, and wanted to share with some of the newer geezers (and the elders etc). It's a pretty good online tour of the Brakspear brewery... Jes is pretty open about the how and the what, very educational... Click on the pics at the bottom of the following page... Enjoy!!

    Can I Change Font In Beersmith Reports?

    Times New Roman is all very well, and rather than copy paste copy paste fanny around - can you change the font in the beersmith reports and other stuff you can print? I had a 30 second look, but I'm in the middle of bottling the stuff in the fermenter, and mashing a new brew... Thanks!

    First Aussie Ag Biab.

    I've done a couple of AG in blighty, my mates and I clubbed together to buy a three tier system (from Brewtree) - we used to rotate it as and when (a two day weekend is nowhere near long enough!), anyway I digress - budget constraints and impatience drew me to your BIAB method... and here it is...
