Does any one want some cheap crown cap glass bottles all in crates I'm trying to down size my stash after moving to kegs. Pete

Hi all. long brewday yesterday, not without event. went for a step mashed Munich Dunkel with 90min boil. using my Grainfather G40 but having issues with the bottom plate lifting and allowing grain and hops in and blocking the pump so I had cool with my immersion chiller and to manually transfer to

Would anyone be up for a bottle swap or Xmas homebrew challenge? I think a nice stout with a personal twist might be interesting. Open to all grain or extract brewers and we can crack them over the Xmas period to compare and offer constructive feedback? Happy to do the leg work if it's local. Coll

I have King keg top tap pressure barrel and have recently tranferred a devils half porter to the keg, 19 ltrs I added 90g of dextrose sugar on Monday, how long should I leave it in my brew fridge b4 drawing a sample

Morning all. I’ve been using BeerSmith Mobile with debatable results (most likely user error) I’ve downloaded Brewfather and I’m starting to get my head round it. what are other folks using and any tips?

We used to have fantastic water quality in my area until they started adding borehole water to the mix. With has increased the water hardness significantly. Never used to have limescale at all. This did affect the taste of my homebrew when I restarted. So I’ve tried a few different batches with diff

Just finished a local suppliers page. Got all the local homebrew suppliers I could find online listed. If you know of more please post them so I can keep it up to day. Also if you use any of these suppliers please confirm what they stock and any useful info you have to share. Thanks @HomebrewCumbria

One of the main reasons I created this site was to identify and hopefully grow the local resources for homebrewing in Cumbria.

So, this will take a bit of logistical planning but I'm happy to do it. I think it's best to give people notice and look to swap in December, with the suggested theme of a Xmas Stout. The general idea is that the number of bottles you put into the swap is the number you will get back, so to that e

I forgot To take photos but brewed a Gamma Ray Clone last night and trying a new drop hop technique with magnets. How does everyone else dry hop? I'm also going to try and and limit the oxygen when I keg buy using an A-Team/McaGyver style beer connection and tubing. Again, how does everyone else

Good afternoon, just moved to Cumbria from York and wanted to see what the area was like for home brewing. Keen for bottle swaps or homebrew nights if there is enough interest. In York, there were about 10-20 within a group that met once every two months to share some home brews and talk (mostly ho

Have any of you tried or do you use one of the electronic fermentation monitors that are available on the market. I’ve had a tilt for a few months now and used it for two brews. They work really well but they do require another device like a ipad to be left near them to collect the data as they onl

I haven’t yet made the move to making my homebrew from raw ingredients. I still use kits and add to them with additional hops to try and change the flavour to something more akin to what I’m wanting. Anyone else do this? Got any successful kit+hop combinations?
