Topic : Wine Not |
|
| pumbajunior |
ok ive started brewing home brew wine and im going to move onto beer cider ginger beer etc i dont suppose anyone would know of a group that meets interested in brewing etc doubtfull but just a thought |
|
| MATTSKI |
Not sure of any groups but i bet there's a few people who'd be up for the job of cheif taster!!! |
|
| pumbajunior |
wont be ready for about a year at least but have over 7 gallons on the go at the moment |
|

If you are looking for a group interested in alcohol, nip into any of the pubs when they are open. You will always normally find somebody sampling a vessel. By the way the idea of brewing "beer cider ginger beer" sounds a bit exotic, I would suggest you start by brewing them all seperately ! |
|
| pumbajunior |
brewing them all seperately and bottling them is the idea |

Hey come on one year I can not stop sober that long have a party and we will all come and test some for you  |
|
| pumbajunior |
house aint big enough garden size of a postage stamp and we dont even own it hydrometer reading only 3% atm so no point in drinking yet |
|
| skippy |
your just a greedy pig greengrass. |
|
| pumbajunior |
maybe other people should have a bash at brewing then we can have tastings |

If your setting up a Brewers Group (Careful) then I would be interested in it, I have been thinking about giving it a go for a while. |
|
| pumbajunior |
possibly depends on numbers plenty of free stuff to brew round the village nettles/blackberrys/elderflowers/elderberrys/ dandilions etc |
|

lager brewing in the near future 40 pints possibly alcoholic ginger beer or cider after that first bottling commencies tonight citrus wine is clear and finished fermenting will have to see i might bring a tester to the gala problem is i only know what skippy looks like n for all i know someone who asks for a sample could be an imposter not the real greengrass |
|
| greengrass |
BELIEVE ME I just look like skippy but im better looking |
|

Lager comes from the germanic word for storage. Genuine Lager Beer is fermented over a long period in a cool place with the fermentation yeast at the bottom. This gives the beer the clear appearance. Most 'lager' beer is not made this way so in fact is not genuine lager. For the real stuff try the Czech beers - they are as original as they get. |

pumbajunior greengrass is my bigger fatter but not as good looking pal and he will be the one selling vacums on the gala field, so keep the freebies away from him, ps hows the diet greengrass? |
|
| pumbajunior |

|
| greengrass |

|

Practical question. During the last recession in the 1980s home brewing was a big thing with even the likes of Boots becoming big sellers of all the kit. So before the big boys get back on the act where is the best place to go for kit in this part of the world? My previous stuff all went when we moved from the big city to the countryside, over ten years ago now. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) offshoots in keighley have some (wholefoods store bottom of cavendish street) theres a home brew/cake makeing equipment store on saltaire road shipley very good just after bridge over to tax office on way to foxes corner junction (red shop on the right) or theres a homebrew only shop up leeds road bradford not been there though morrisons used to do cans of syrup yeast campden tablets corks etc but stopping it now which is silly as nows the time people are gonna get into it |
|
| HB |
you can also buy the kit and all the other stuff from wilkinsons, buy online and collect from shipley, or bradford has a decent stock they do the syrups, not the best but very cheap, from £4.99. as well as yeast, sugars, corks, bottles, co2...... i am just guessing but if you asked at the healthfood shop in silsden they would prob be able to order stuff in for you. Most health food shops, like keighley can order the stuff from there suppliers. |
|
| wahiba |
Thanks - will look and see what is on offer. |
|
| pumbajunior |
had a look on the wilco's site they aint that cheap the independant shops in keighley or shipley are cheaper and have stock |
|
| pumbajunior |
now got 2 gallons of pear wine on the go thanks to the guys at fodder |
|
| bobber |
offshoots,down cavendish st. in keighley sell good homebrew tackle.if you buy in bulk you get the suppliers discount and the shops discount as well.but you have to order in advance. happy drinking!! |
|
| pumbajunior |
