Re: sugar
I don't really use sugar much in beers, but I'm betting that for a lot of ales you would be better off buying a kilo of some nice brown sugar than so called brewing sugar (and it would probably be cheaper).

Re: The Old Swan Inn pub & brewery
Nice to see they do a mild. Sounds nice from the description in the real ale almanac

Re: Festival New Zealand Pilsner.
Made a Old Father Hooks Bitter and bottled at weekend. Agree pouch was a pain! Give me tins any day. Box also strangely hard to open, but less of a faff than trying rinse out a pouch!

Re: Review - Muntons Gold Continental Pilsner
Blimey, that is so much darker! I made an out of date Old English Bitter from that range and it was dark, but nothing to compare it against so don't know how it compares with the same kit made earlier. It is darker than your beer, otherwise I might be inclined to think you were accidentally given th...

Re: Festival Landlords Finest Bitter
Thanks for the update. They seem to give a lot of dry hops with some of these kits. Sometimes less is more, but I get that this is a rather unfashionable view these days! I did a Woodfordes Bure Gold a while ago and the relatively small pack of hops made a nice impression (although this faded quite ...

Re: Alternative to London yeast.
I’ve recently discovered Lallemand are discontinuing London yeast. I use this yeast frequently, its inability to ferment all the sugars in the wort gives me a full bodied taste that I prefer in my pale ales and bitters, gravity tends to stop at around 1016. I think Windsor will do the same, but I’m...

Re: Brew Your Own British Real Ale (3rd Edition)- Graham Wheeler
As for recipe creep in the latter books.. yeah.. I think it adds an authenticity. I know stuff changes in my recipes. So why not anyone else's. And it proves he was brewing them, got just generating content as so many of today's publishers. And also the recipes used by breweries change too, or more...

Re: Dave Line's Beer Kits and Brewing
Wow.. thats a "geordie" kit on the cover. And strangely it seems to be in a box! There are no references to Geordie beer kits in the book as far as I can see though. I seem to recall that Graham was less than impressed by this book. I bought it out of curiosity really, as I saw a copy for only a fe...
