Been shopping...

Post by Jim » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:43 pm

Called in to the Hop and Grape in Darlington this afternoon and came away with a sackfull of stuff. 8)

3 brews-worth of marris otter, a few other grains, hops and a phial of Whitelabs English ale yeast.

I've also invested in a crown capper (my old one went rusty) as I've decided to bottle a batch this time, mainly because I'm drinking less these days and my last batch went off before I finished it. :shock: :shock:

There's a first time for everything! ](*,)

Have you considered Mini Mashing Jim, its a great way to make a starter with liquid yeast. :wink:
Heh!

I was just going to make up a gallon of wort with hopped spraymalt and split it into six when fermentation was nearly finished (that worked with my Wyeast, anyway). Minimash sounds like too hard work. :)

Oh...my....God......

I've doubled my output to keep up with my input. The thought of a brew going off is totally alien to me. I'd probably drink it anyway :P
