Costs:

Raw materials to make 35 pints of Citra Hopped Pale Ale like I did would work out at about 71p a pint. This is the 4kg golden promise malt, 200g crystal malt, packet US50 yeast, 200g Citra hop pellets.

Blackberry Homebrew taste is weird sensation. Large blackberry taste, followed by huge bitterness hit. Might dial blackberry back by a third if I make it again.

much as I still think you're being lucky, leftover detergents can affect the yeast - it's a thing in baking, eg don't use anti bacterial soap immediately before and during kneading (not beer).

But also, you're probably spending a crapload more cleaning bottles than you would just buying new ones.

Homebrew club at the micropub was superb. Had some lovely stuff, my favourite was a 6% Mango IPA. My blackberry ale was well received, and I got a bottle to take home. I learnt that the reason why the blackbery ale is a bit flat as when priming with brewing​ sugar, you need to add more of it. So that has explained that. Micropub had Saltaire's South Island Pale, New World Red and another one on. Top night.

Nice, I'd like to try that Mango IPA. What IBU was it roughly?

According to Untappd I've tried 220 unique beers since October last year including 60 different styles!

Bottled the beer up, and forgot to take FG reading, so no idea how strong it is.

1 week conditioning later, it's very citra-y. No off flavours. Quite fizzy. Suspect it makes me sneeze. Overall, very pleased

So, last night was using stuff up brew:

2040g Golden Promise pale malt, 200g biscuit malt and 200g crystal malt went on ti mash at 65 for an hour in 8.5l water, came out at 63, and boiled for an hour. Hops added at start of boil were 30g Brewer's Gold, 30g Bramling Cross and then 30g Brewers Gold, 30g Bramling and 10g Citra added 10mind from end of boil. OG was 1050, yeast was US50. Took 3.5 hours from beginning of mash to pitching yeast.

I want to grow citra (and mosaic). Turns out the rhisomes are under patent. Licensed hop growers *may* be able to get them, but not gardening bellends like me.

Only 3 at homebrew club last night, and one wasn't drinking, so the onorous task of getting through 2 litres of pineapple IPA fell to two. It was a third placed beer in the homebrew competition, and very good it was, too. My citra was well received, so I'll scale that up, I think. I bought a Cloudwater dipa v13 which is a strong beer at 9% which was really good.

Stuff to bottle tomorrow, maybe brew on Saturday.

5.6% it has come out at.

My luck ran out, i think 5 bottles infected. Ordering more today.

Do you have an idea what the cost would be to get set up from scratch to start brewing?

Would maybe want to do 10-15 litres as a first pass.

Also what about space and temperature? In terms of space I could put brewing apparatus in my garage, I went in there yesterday and it was quite cool compared with the heat outside, would that be an issue?

£35 will buy you a homebrew starter kit from amazon. This'll get you a 25litre fermentation bin, hydrometer, spoon, bubble trap and some other whatnots, that you will use. A beer kit (just addd water and sugar and yeast) will be about £10 to £15, Wilko ones are good for the price.

To make from grain, you'll want the homebrew starter kit, and a 15litre pot, 2kg grain, 100g hops and some yeast. So about the same.

Bottling: cheapest is 2litre still eater bittles as they are already sterilised, you can reuse beer bottles but need to buy a capper.

Temp wise look for 18-22 celcius i guess, it depends on yeast types but that is a lot of argument, so room temp.

To heat the wort, I was going to use 2 2.2kW elements from Tesco £5 kettles. To get to them, there's a pair of screws with triskelion heads holding the cover on. You can bypass these by using a blade to cut away the plastic and pop the cover off. The element is held in with three Philips,/slot headed screws. Two will come out easily. The third will round, on both kettles. Bastards. Mr Russ told me to use a rubber band on driver head, so i will try that tomorrow.

Exciting times! Tonight's plan is a pale ale (as ever) with Centennial hops for the bitterness, and Goldings hops for aroma. It should be about 5% again. And I'll be making about 40 pints in The Big Pot. Super!

Looks like it's going to be a 6% pale ale! My chiller wouldn't fit in my Big Pot, so I put the hot wort in the fermentation bin, put a lid on it and let it cool overnight. I took the OG this morning and adjusted for temperature, it was 1054. So, I will leave it to ferment, dry hop it with more Goldings, then bottle and bring to BeexBQ. Should be decently matured by then. Timewise, I put the mash on at 1940, and went to bed at 2330.

Capacity increase! Clearing out a house, my friend bought me over a feast of homebrew equipment (and a story about her colleague being shot and stabbed outside her work, he's still alive), including two more fermenting bins. Potentially, could have 90 litres on the go at once now!

Picked up 5kg pale malt today, along with 100g Citra hops and 100g cascade all ready to do a Pale Centennial, Citra, cascade brew. I was about to weigh it all out and then realised it was about 15% cheaper than expected as I didn't buy any yeast.

MaliA's Big Three

5kg maris otter
200g crystal malt
200g biscuit malt

Mash at 66 for an hour and half in 12.5 litres. Continuous sparge at 80 degrees with 12.5l.

50g centennial in at start of boil
20g each of centennial, cascade and citra 5 minutes from end.

I intend to dry hop with 10g of each 3 days before bottling.

1048 was OG, so should be about 5.x%

I don't think it mashed totally, there was some exposed grain. I suspect i will have to increase mash volume to 17 litres, and sparge with 12.5 litres.

Edit: dry hopped with 12g each after11 days

There is a website with a database of receipes one can download into an app. It is only searchable by receipe name. The app has ingredients as defined objects which uses this database. Can i download the database somehow, and search by ingredient?

I've had plenty of beer with tea in it. Mostly earl grey. Marble do an earl grey IPA which is rather nice.

Hello. Has anyone ever put tea in beer. Or sampled beer with tea in it? What was the tea?

I've had plenty of beer with tea in it. Mostly earl grey. Marble do an earl grey IPA which is rather nice.


Twice that has been mentioned, now. Ta.

Capacity increase! Clearing out a house, my friend bought me over a feast of homebrew equipment (and a story about her colleague being shot and stabbed outside her work, he's still alive), including two more fermenting bins. Potentially, could have 90 litres on the go at once now!


Currently have 38 to 40 litres in two FVs. One needs bottling on Wednesday after dry hopping with 40g Goldings, yesterday. Second is what I made last night. Bottles are now the rare limiting step. And storage.

Earl Gray doesn't, of course, taste much of tea.

Borgo's Watergate: 4.1% pale ale. All bottled up and ready for bbq times. Challenger and Goldings. Perfect for lazy summer's days.

5.1% , not 4.1%. i had the wrong OG

I think the American Pale might be ready for when i next see you, too.

I need a more efficient way to bottle as there was a lot of wastage yesterday. I might get a proper bottling bucket, rather than rely on siphons
