Jim's Beer Kit

Thanks .

Thanks for the replies , looks like i,m going to have to stop using the filter and draw off from the top, suppose it means i,m going to be left with a lot of trub reducing effeciency as i use grain kits so cannot upscale to allow for this.

3 vessel electric system . Boiler has a stainless steel long 2inch round fine mesh filter fitted to the tap.

Hi all , just a question re hop pellets I,m used to using whole leaf hops which makes for a good bed with the grain when draining, never had a problem clogging up. However seemingly the way forward is using pellets , which i,m having trouble with them clogging my s/s filter draining off, as im throw...

After reading on here about brewerys past, interesting reading , especially the demise of Whitbread ,i have a book somewhere about this from a head brewer at Whitbread ,it got me thinking, as a young drinker i had a passion for their Best Scotch which was if i remember correctly , a really malty ave...

By the way,if no rasps on hand like me, i found...

thanks for the input chaps, just gonna have to be patient then, using s05 as its a yeast that wont hurry, the only thing i,m unsure about is the final gravity on adding 2 1/2 kilo frozen,thawed rasps on top of the original which should come out about 4.8% before adding.

Cheers for the info chaps, i,ll keep the rasps in the freezer til the endish of fermentation.

Thanks for your replies chaps, looks like i,m gonna go for the mash of fruit then add loose? after primary .
Unless others that will have brewed this recipe or similar can add,any views please?ta.

As a change i,m having a bash from a recipe in Home brew beer by greg hughes Raspberry Wheat Beer. just added the yeast to the brew to get started,used S05 [close to wyeast 1010], but i can,t make my mind up as to how to add the raspberr...
