Jim's Beer Kit

Sorry, guys..... dropped off the face so to speak.... Dad passed before I could get this finished and have him sample it..... His passing knocked my duck off big time and only just really thinking about getting back on the horse.... As for the last question posed by The Epworth Brewer, it was a clon...

Cheers Richard.... so from what you're saying then it's equivalent to 30 IBUs of your selected hop added at the specified time regardless of weight?? Thanks for the response

Hi guys Been a while since active on the site but wanting to brew a recipe for my old man from his old drinking days.... He's 90 in August..... Question is the recipe asks for 30 bittering units of Goldings to be added at the start of the boil.... Ok I get the Goldings obviously but 30 bittering uni...

Many thanks gents... I knew someone was out there.... It's the first time I've used a recipe from 'the book' and didn't want to go ahead and screw up the hopping.... The beer in question is an old favourite of mine (although a mass produced, shadow of it's former self these days) and I wanted to do ...

Forgive if this has been touched on before but here goes Just looking through my copy of Wheeler and Protz Brew Your Own Real Ale At Home and noticed the first hop additions into the boiler on a recipe are fairly high.... plugged the numbers into BeerSmith for the style of beer and the IBU's are way...

As a rough guide, add 1/4" to the BSP size which will give you an approximate size (eg 1/2" BSP is around 21mm or 0.82" or just over 13/16")

Recently did a Black Wheat beer and instead of including the black malt in the grist, I sprinkled the black malt over the foil just prior to sparging and sparged through the grain.... Masses of colour, some aroma and not a massive amount to flavour from the malt.... Maybe it'd work on a Black IPA to...

Hi guys... read this thread with interest as I'm after growing some of my own hops and being a typical Yorkshireman (from Gods own county), I acquired a rough cutting from a micro brewery near my current dwelling.... on a brewery visit I nicked a piece of bine growing in the carpark :oops: .... anyw...

Mmmm looks good there.... My guess is you have a liking for Punk IPA!..Anywhere near the mark on that comment???

FYI guys those clips are called "R" pins.... Why? 'Cause they're shaped like the letter "R".... Simples!!!

Some people think that GKIPAA is great.... earlier in the year I was not 15 miles from the brewery and ordered a pint of Green King IPA...... It was sh**e..... No flavour and overly gassed (I know that each establishment has it's own stake/idea on the perfect beer).... However this was totally pants...

Seymour, thanks for the response.... Went with the original but will consider your suggestion next brew weekend.... Which should be very soon and I have a good amount of both Target and Northern Brewer left before I ditch them due to now being out of date
Cheers doowd

Hi guys, I'm trying to use up the few hops I have left before I buy more and came up with this on..... Cast your learned eyes over and let me know before I weigh out the hoppage Cheers NO NAME Date: Gyle Number: Fermentable Colour lb: oz Grams Ratio Pale Malt 5 EBC 7 lbs. 11.4 oz 3500 grams 87.1% To...

Mmmm sounds nice.... and having had a commercial version of this I think I'll try this if I can get the hops
