TLB Brew Club

What flavour of makes do they sell ??

 

A good selection , Woodfords, Geordie, Coopers and there own brand, The woodfords is usually £22 , There own brand is usually £16
now £11 and £8 .
That is a real bargain.

 

I've just seen that too!!! Off to get a pressure barrel and some more Woodford's

My first ever beer brew is ready to be put in the pressure barrel today and I'm v excited, hope it's not pants!!!

 

The woodfords wherry is most excellent

 

Cheers bugcatcher looks like im off to wilkos again
I was in there last week as they had dropped the prices of there walk in greenhouse down by nearly 50%

 

its a fathers day promotion so be quick......

 

I was quick ive just got back lol

2 wilkos own real ale kits(two can packs)
Bottle capper
50 Bottle caps
Siphoning thing with sediment filter and tap
2 tubs of sterilising cleaner
25 litre fermenting bin

£28.72 bargain

 

Ha, that's exactly what I bought but sadly quite a few months ago so not in the sale, damn!!

Just put mine in its pressure barrel that I picked up cheap earlier



Also got their own brand golden ale to try.

 

The shelves were almost empty when i got there so people have been taking advantage of the offer it seems

I did wilkos copper bitter a while ago in a pressure barrel and it turned out well





It seems my kitchen is slowly turning into a pub as ive got a dart board and cabinet as an early fathers day present in there
So along with lots of homebrew its going to be a good place to be

I would be awesome if we could have a dedicated homebrew section on tlb

 

I don't bother with the proper sterilizing cleaner, i use wilkos baby bottle sterilizing tablets ,they work out about 12 times cheaper

We have , its called TLB Brew club

 

I meant a place in the forum like the cookery section has

 

Thanks for the tip

 

Yep, I've been using Milton tablets that I found in Sainsburys, seem to work so far.

 

I know where i'm going on the way home from work then.

 

I see that Lord Charles has been posting photos of his brew on Farcebook.

 

I always rinse well three times after sterilising to make sure I get rid of all residual flavour of the steriliser, even more important if your using milton instead of the stuff they sell you

 

The last two batches I made at the same time I decided that I wanted it ready quicker so I skipped the secondary fermentation in the barrel.
Mistake. I think secondary fermentation puts the co2 into the barrel slowly so it gives a better fizz, the cider is not too bad but you need a bit more fizz in lager, and I cant get any more pressure in there from my co2 bottle without the safety valve going off.

 

Check out these action shots from the weekend:

Sparging


In the Copper


Hop Modelling


Fermenting


100 litres should be ready this weekend

 

That looks really good.

We started with a pub and look where we are now!
