What fun SALSA is! We are going to end up with ridiculous signage for everything by the look of things. Taken me days preparing the documentation.

Thanks for elaborating. Glad you guys have that depth of knowledge and pleased if I grasp half of it!

It lives! It has finally started, incredibly slow start. Thanks all for the input.
That yeast of yours IPA sounds great!

I hope so, like you I would be surprised to have jobbed all of the cells. Its been about 4 days now, 1040 wort made from dme, shaken, not stirred. Always worked before.

Whilst wrestling sticky dryish malt extract to make a starter for a whitelabs kolsch, I managed to hurl my Erlenmeyer flask across the kitchen. It did not survive. Thusly a trusty demijohn was called into use. Being unable to hit it with boiling water after sanitisation as usual, I applied starsan. ...

"Supping"! How dare you, swines. I wish that I was. My new job sees me asleep by 10 with no supping required. That bile was au naturel. I stand by my previous abusive statement.

That's extortionate, tossers probably see them as an "artisanal" product. Picked by grandpa jethro, packed in a brown paper bag fashioned from brother cleetus's desiccated faeces. Sickening that these skinny trousered bum fluff adorned, self indulgent ignorant hoors have now turned to hops. As has b...

When I arranged contract bottling, price when supplying 30HL was 40p/per 500ml bottle. I supplied the label. I think lower volumes cost £5.04 per case of 12, so 42p.

50 litres ish for me. Was a real struggle till I worked in a brewery full time. Bought a pump now to be sensible, twas only a matter of time till it hurt!

Brewers and Union?

Be aware, dried fruit has the highest levels of sulphites commonly found in our food and drinks. If it bothers you of course!

Great stuff Sir, though you look two decades younger than I imagined!

I use it, good and simple. The balance value is a comparison of gravity and bittering units. Not worth fussing over.
