Cheers.
I have a garage to ferment and store beer in now. My local brew shop said that when I am ready, they can kit me out with a basic all grain system for £200, so its on the horizon.

What about you? Any new toys as of late? How are they working out?


Just got a mash tun. Nothing special, just a cooler, but I’ve been doing brew in a bag and it’s an upgrade. Can’t wait to brew with it (or decide what I want to brew next)

Don’t crush too close to your burners!


I still brew in the kitchen. The mill is in the basement. Have a horror story?


None from personal experience, but...

Also, I got a pH meter a while back. Hasn’t changed the way I make sours but it does give me more information. Most recent batch didn’t get as sour as I wanted. This should help me going forward as well as any tweaks with acid I need to make to this batch.
