Jim's Beer Kit

One or two observations about your proposals, which differ somewhat from my 2001 edition of BYOBRAAH. In my book, for 25 litres, Wheeler indicates 4660gm Golden Promise 42gm Styrian Goldings 90 mins 35gn Fuggles 90 mins 15gm Goldings 15 mins . Have brewed this recipe several times. I found it very ...

Looks good

Reading this thread has given me a headache

Never sparge, always still get the gravity wanted.

Tried on handpump, yes it was better than the keg. Just.

I agree consistant

I think I`ll ask my HB shop to stock Morris Hanbury

What brand are you using. I tend to use mainly Brupaks never noticed any extra.

Thanks DaaB I have some which is 15mm. I will try to buy some more.

Ive had a false bottem made for my burco. There is a slight gap between the edge and the side of the boiler, about 3-4 mm. I thought this would be ok but the majority of the hops have ended up under the grill. Any ideas how I can seal it. I thought of trying to make a rubber washer. Where can I buy ...

Just used hops of the same date [see my free hops post]. They were Brupaks sealed packets and they looked and smelt fine, and the beers very good.

I seem to remember it was a very bland beer. I think they stoped brewing it after CAMRA gave it such bad publicity.

Never tried it but I belive a watering can works.

Keep going chris it`s the best hobby in the world.
