Yes Please!

I haven't read every post, but got sent here for my opinion. 8 brews in it so far. Pump isnt needed at all, insulate, mash in right temp, use small element for keeping temp is plenty, don't get scared about the read out temp varying by a few degrees, the delay/pause set in the electronics deals...

The weekend starting 26th October 2012 was the birth of the Brewers Halloween. A select few Brewers and Casters on justin.tv entered into a fun competition to dress as women and cast in costume - the results of which were hilarious. With some of the Brewers being clean shaved for the first time...

some reading on brewing with chocolate Chocolate

You added Milk Chocolate, I'm pretty sure that was a bad idea. :( There a lot of fat and other stuff in Chocolate. If you really want Chocolate I'd use some HIGH quality powdered chocolate, or even Cocoa pods. If I was you I would of used the coopers English Bitter kit. With 150g of chocolate...

I just found this on a cooking site Replace 1 tsp. of anise extract with tsp. of anise powder and add it to the dry ingredients in your recipe. Not sure if its the same stuff but something to think about.

Think these kits are only out once a month or so, or till sold out, then they change to another one.

yep wouldnt boil the choc grain, till after steeping and grains removed. I agree you'd get an aroma, but would love some hop flavour, thinking I'll boil maybe 10g of each in the choc grain tea for around 8mins to get some hop flavour into it then dry hop the rest. I just washed some US-05 so...

Yeah weird for them ?? I just thought that a hop boil of 5-10 mins would add a hell of a lot more hop flavour then just a dry hop??? Dry hop is mostly for aroma unless I've been wrong all these years??

Today I received in the post a gift that was the new Cooper Hop Gobbler kit. On first look I thought this going to be a humdinger 50g of hops to add etc.. but on reading their recipe I find it hard to see how just dry hopping alone is going add a hop wallop like described in the title 'Hop...
