Jim's Beer Kit

Yes it works and works well http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75014 My brew from last year was pretty good and I did another one in Jan this year I used Malt loaf and fruit loaves as well as just bread this time just started to drink some and its very nice . I did it this time b...

Having tried Toast's beer myself a few weeks ago, there was a definite slight salty tang at the end of the taste - are you getting any of that? Not perceived any salty taste in the two pints I have just supped need to get hold of a bottle ot the toast ale for research its quite a normal beer I thin...

Went down to 1.008 which was a surprise to me .
6.3% alcohol and yes 2 pints certainly have a kick so not a summer session ale this one

Update Yes bread is pretty good in the beer ( IMHO ) http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa46/amticoman/2016-03-21%2018.12.52.jpg Its made a very nice beer with no nasty tastes or unusual flavours certainly worth using and more experiments needed but this first attempt is very drinkable even Mrs Trou...

Saw this... http://www.brewuk.co.uk/blog/bread-beer/ :idea: Not just as easy as just bunging in the bread I found the bread crumbs filled the gaps in the grain and really slowed the sparge . would it work if the bread was in a BIAB muslin bag as long as it received the enzymes from the grain for st...

Yes will certainly update when its finished and ready to drink the bread was bought on sunday from Aldi 1 seeded batch , 1 tiger loaf , 1 toaster white and 1 whole meal loaf so no stale or out of date stuff probably could have used one loaf less judging by the amount of wort I got and the runnings w...

one of those brews when things go a bit wrong

nearly stuck sparge followed by running out of gas with half an hour still to go for the boil .

but ended up with 27 liters of 1056 gravity wort in the fermenter so the bread added quite a few gravity points
to the brew

Bazz gone the other way because I had lots of Fuggles followed by late EKG and a few leftover Cascade
the Sparge was a mare very slow but not stuck (2 hours to get 30 litres )
so needs some husks adding to aid that .
just chilling now so will see if it added any gravity soon

OK so I posted at the same time as I decided to have a go mashed in with 4 kg marris otter and 4 loaves of various breads with some toasted and the rest as they came from Aldi http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa46/amticoman/IMG_0485.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa46/amticoman/IMG_0486.jp...

Having seen this on the tellybox I got to wondering if anyone has had a go at using bread in their brew .
the Toast Ale folks are going to pop their recipe on their website soon but cant seem to find any more info

Used it in the FV for dry hopping not tasted anything out of the ordinary in the beer Seems strange so have popped it into a salt solution to see if it goes rusty I did think about nasties hiding in the mesh on the lips of each sieve so gave it a good boil before using and will do that each time

Sadly tapered. but not a problem its quite solid a mating even with just bits of wire holding it together

no way too big for a corny
and probably no good for hop pellets

not sure if its been posted before as searched and found nowt Made a giant dry hop ball today for £6 Bought 2 stainless sieves from TXmax and drilled a few holes in each for at the moment wire ties but will be replaced with stainless bolts later inside is 70 grams of citra hops and plenty of room fo...
