Hello all,

A cheeky question, but is anyone in the Buckinghamshire or Berkshire area doing an all grain brewday in the near future.

I will be investing in AG kit shortly and would really appreciate the opportunity to see (and take notes of) an AG brew before I start.

I would be more than happy to help out with lifting, cleaning etc and also photograph the brewday if you wish (other hobby is photography).

I'm based in High Wycombe.

Thanks in advance.

John

If you don't get the chance to see an ag brewday for real, click on the uk-homebrew link on my signature & you will see a straightforward ag brewing section. I have kept it simple with loads of photos as well.

Don't forget to check out DaaB's website as well, here is the link.

Not too far from me in Oxfordshire (Witney) - got one one on the go right now in fact - but not sure when I'll be doing the next one though - out of malt as of this evening

Sudbury Hill any good? Train from High Wycombe to Northolt Park or Wembley Stadium, then a bus...

Sudbury hill or witney are both good for me

I'll PM you either for this coming w/e or the one after.

Great stuff! thank you!

I have informed my social secretary (SWMBO) and she has reliably informed me that this would fit quite well if was sunday/monday this weekend or the following sunday. The weekend of the 7th we're getting married so she has said I best not pencil it in then

Congratulations! Does the assistant brewer want to come as well?

Probably not as she would have to bring the assistant, assistant who wouldn't be able to assist as she's only 10 months old

I am informed by the bottling department that the least hassle stations to aim for are West Ruislip or South Ruislip, as most trains stop at one or the other, and there you can get on the Central Line to Greenford, and get a 92 bus.

Or a trip to Hemel - home of the Magic Roundabout!

Iused to work in Wycombe - 18 miles to Hemel via Amersham, Chesham, Bovingdon.

Hemel is also good for me and I'm willing to help out at/photograph your brew as well

Bionic: have a quick glance at my brewday posts: Mild in April and Vienna Ale so you can see whether how I've been brewing will be useful for you or not?

Hi Edit1now,

Yoinks! you seem to have a very complex brew system. Perhaps it's better I start with a simple mash & batch sparge as this is how I will be brewing until my shed gets the TLC required to convert it into a brewhouse.

I will more than likely upgrade to a HERMS or RIMS system later as the hobby takes hold.

I'm ordering the 10g twin element brewery package from H&G tomorrow hopefully (if SWMBO releases my pocket money )

Can anyone suggest a easy starter recipe. I like Pale ales and summer ales at the mo. Although my wherry kit is going down a treat.
