howdy all - I’ve not been around AHB for a bit. Has Brewtoolz shut down or am I doing something wrong? Cheers Kev

2 years plus since spotting SOR on free to air... well done Netflix. :D

I used to do 5L batches in demijohns in the kitchen of a two bedroom unit, then ferment and bottle in the downstairs garage. The intention was to tweak and then scale up - but the time taken to brew 5L wasn't that different to the time needed to brew 10L and then 20L. Nor were the equipment or...

I've used it in a UK IPA - went very well in terms of attenuation, didn't have a lot of yeast flavours (which I prefer) so happy days. As far as temp goes - I stick around 17/18C - then up the temp to about 20 once it's finishing out. Rarely go higher than 21/22C.

If you do own a cat - it might be best to do away with the cat anyway and then follow the other advice above. ;)

Sorry for the 'more often' post - didn't brew much in 2016 and would like to remedy that this year. So! Have just ordered grain for... Robust Porter 60 Shilling US Pale Ale :icon_cheers:

More often...

When did Garden Ale drop from 3.8% to 3.5%? Guessing it's to do with taxation...

I got a similar one this morning (received the Craft Brew one too on the weekend) to my email that isn't linked to AHB, but using my AHB username, kevo... this one apparently from Australia Post.

And they're gone.

No takers? Found some dimpled pints and Coopers Tour glasses as well...

Hi All Found some long forgotten bottles during a current clean up at my place. Approx 15 Coopers Tallies, approx 15 LC Pint bottles - approx half clean and capped with foil ready to fill. One very dirty tallie. I'm assuming it's stout dregs in the bottom of the bottle. Pick up Wednesday...

A friend mentioned that after a night on the smoked beers in Bamburg that even the roadside slash on the walk home has a smokey aroma!

Not a great fan either - was this an attempt to create a rival to Cooper's Pale - or just to rival the glut of Pale Ales on the market now?

Reviving an old thread... If I'm planning to lager in a keg - would I also look to take a portion of the yeast with it into the keg? Plan to then transfer into another keg, leaving the yeast behind. My understanding is that the yeast has a role to play in the layering 'process?' Cheers

This is what 'leccy tape and sanitiser were invented for. And alcohol .... To help you cope with large portions of your batch flowing onto the garage floor.

Guinness Ambassador by the looks

Yep - but it's free and not a bad reference for base recipes and starting points in my eyes. Makes some of what they have done very 'homebrew' IMHO - seem to be very focussed on teaching themselves and their customers what specific things taste like, lots of similar grain bills, even beyond the...

Glad to hear the hard work and patience paid off. I'm kind of torn on these beers - they need so much care and attention to create and then patience and restraint! Btw - I wonder if this thread is cursed... Nearly every contributor has been banned!!! Kev

The recipe is described as an historic stout porter! Not aiming for a specific current style - just a dark beer that tastes good. No roasted barley so none of the acrid ashey which is nice. If only getting colour from the wheat will stick with the black. Cheers Kev
