Posted in Beer Stuff on August 15th, 2008If only you could brew at this speed. This is cool it is a time lapse video of the fermentation stage.
Improving beer kits.
Posted in Techniques on May 17th, 2008If you go to your local supermarket you may find a lot of beer kits available, Wilkos is our closest. Incidently they have woodefordes Wherry at 15 quid. Bargain!!! They have Geordie bitter kits at £4.99 which is great.
The only problem with the geordie kits is that they have a homebrew taste. For the different brews I’ve tried this is caused not because of the water but the sugar. Cane sugar, imparts that homebrew taste. A kilo of sugar is way too much for a beer. Now you can use things like candy sugar in beer recipes because you want to add a tangy flavour, but you only use say 100grams of the stuff.
Alternatives to kegging - Too Keg or not too Keg?
Posted in Techniques on May 7th, 2008Arh the eternal question, too keg or not too keg?
It is actually a tricky descision, unfortunately there is no right answer. The decision whether you bottle the beer or keg it is largely dependent on a number of factors.
You’ve made your beer you are please that it has turned out well, now what, do you keg it bottle it in big bottles or little bottles.
