Jim's Beer Kit

Welcome back!

5g isn't a lot, but mosaic has quite a strong flavour so I probably wouldn't add any more than the recipe suggests.

It can't be the same as cooking otherwise I would have had my wife sparging my wort for the last 40 years! She can knock out a great corned beef pie but hasn't a clue on dry hopping.

Mmmm - corned beef pie.

Welcome to JBK Hudson1984.

There's nothing wrong with making a good lager - there're plenty of brewers on here doing it. Re how to get started, maybe look at one pot brewing systems - see the JBK subforum here - viewforum.php?f=45

Welcome back!

Generally speaking untreated hard water isn't necessarily good for any type of beer - it depends on what's in it. Alkalinity is a better guide.

I'll point you to a link that might be helpful, but also: welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the update James.

Welcome Blackbeer!

I used my old 70s brew bins from Boots until relatively recently, so they can last a long time.

Probably not a great idea though, as they get a lot of scratches in them from cleaning, so I wouldn't recommend it; especially as new ones are quite cheap.

Nice! It's just what you need to get you hooked!
