Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted October 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2018 I think I added too much sugar water when I was bottling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2018 Well, they were lovely. No infection just over carbonated.  I have found this home brewing lark a great way to deal with my depression and anxiety, every step relaxes me.  My current brews are a porter I made with honey and added most of a bottle of rum, and an American style whitbeer with 8lb of cherry added.  The porter is conditioning (and is nice after just a week in the bottle) and the whitbeer is fermenting.  Any other home brewers here?

Rey_Piste Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have done it once with one of those all in one kits where you just heat the water up and add a pre-prepared packet to make the mash. I followed all the steps, but sealed the plastic bucket which then spilled over and whilst left open grew a mold on it. I do want to try it out again, I am lacking the space to do it in my flat.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 25, 2018 I just keep my fermenter on the kitchen side. The other half is surprisingly tolerant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted November 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 25, 2018 A few of you know I was a big craft beer fan. My family have worked in breweries for the past 25 years, so I’ve grown up with it. 5 months ago I packed booze in. It took its toll and messed my up unfortunately. I was never bothered about not being able to get drunk after giving up, my problem was that I knew I’d miss the taste of great beers. I’ve been searching for decent alcohol free craft beers for the past 5 months. Trying and sampling my way through everything I could try and I must say, I think I’ve finally found the best alcohol free beer on the market (for me). If you like Neck Oil by Beavertown, this is a very similar taste. Mikkeller - Weird Weather.  It is absolutely fantastic. It’s 0.3% so technically alcohol free (anything below 0.5% is technically alcohol free in the U.K.) I seriously believe that this is probably in my top 5 beers of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been home-brewing for about a decade now. Love it. @Kaz Hayashi Not had that. The issue with Mikkeller I find is that there's not much consistency with what you can get and when you can get it. I was a big fan of their 'Drink'in the sun' which was a similar low ABV beer. Bought 3 or 4 from a specialist bottle shop and never seen it since.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted December 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2018 My rum and honey porter turned out amazing. The cherry whitbeer on the other hand tastes terrible- luckily the guy I made it for likes sours so hopefully this still works. Â Just started fermenting an orange and coriander whitbeer. That should be great in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted December 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2018 A pal of mine has just jumped from home brewing to commercial in the past couple of months. Such a lovely garage set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted February 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2019 This is one of the best beers I ever had. The bourbon is perfectly balanced with the stout. Plus I'm a sucker for an imperial stout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted February 9, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2019 I’ve had two absolutely gorgeous ales today. The first was I Speak For The Trees, an IPA from Arbour in Bristol. Didn’t really taste like a proper IPA as it was much thicker and was bordering on a wheat beer. Almost like Blue Moon. Very, very good. Second was this: Quirky? Yes. Kitsch label? Yes. But very lovely? Yes. Honestly, it was a delight to drink. Not many ale houses stock this but it was so, so nice. Quite thick again but the mild strawberry taste made it go down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Tiny Rebel do great stuff. Luckily living quite close to them means we get most of their stuff round here and their core beers are available in most shops. Can't go wrong with them. They did a Home Alone themed beer last year that I can't remember the name of which was lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Good to see Tiny Rebel in here. Cwtch is probably my favourite beer, and the pub in Cardiff always has a great atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2019 Tiny Rebel must have pretty decent distribution nationwide at this point, the beer shops round here in Sheffield regularly have their stuff in. Their Clwb Tropicana Tropical IPA is delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted February 20, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Just got hold of the Tiny Rebel birthday case. Well looking forward to trying it.
