Me. Happily pay postage. I've been brewing for ages, geeze it to the experienced person who won't get bored after one brew .

Haha, if I get it working, I'd be able to sell as much of it as I want to people I know. That'd keep the motivation high enough thank you very much.

Oh and I can collect.

Psh. Homebrewing should all be about experimenting and sharing the joy. It's a fun hobby, both the making and the drinking and should be enjoyed by as many as possible!
Free booze galore in Glasgow after Paul sorts me out with his spare boiler.

PaulStat · 7 Oct 2011 at 16:02

Lol, selling dosen't imply profit. If I can produce Christ knows how many litres, uni friends will be more than happy to reimburse me the 37p a pint rather than £3.70 in the local!

Would be jokes.

I CAN'T HANDLE IT!

Its a never ending money pit lol. Easy to start with the basic equipment. Then its a brew fridge, temp control, bigger mashtun, more fermenters and barrels, corny kegs, gas bottles etc. Enjoy. Its the best hobby in the world lol.

I usually get my stuff from here http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/

Drinking orange honey blossom cream ale now. Have 40 pints of Kolsch lagering in the fridge and 40 pints of Oatmeal stout about to go into a keg. Yum.

and a link to Jims. A goldmine of info and help.

Right then guys looks like your luck is in, I now have a spare boiler at home. Ahleckz seeing as you've been looking for a long time you get to call the coin toss, heads or tails?

Ahleckz · 10 Oct 2011 at 10:37

Tails never fails!

PaulStat · 10 Oct 2011 at 11:14

And drum roll please...................................................... tails it is

Right email in trust need to figure out how to get this thing up to Glasgow!

How big and heavy are we talking? Can't be that heavy. You could use http://www.parcel2go.com/ they give you quotes if you chap in the dimensions and weight (weigh yourself, pick it up, weigh yourself again and subtract). Can't imagine it would cost *that* much... I'd obviously paypal/BT you the dosh.

PaulStat · 10 Oct 2011 at 14:15

I'll measure/weigh it later

Pate · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:11

Name of the game I guess. Congrats Ahleckz.

Liverpool-Lad · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:19

Honestly, how does it compare to cask ale?

PaulStat · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:27

Honestly as good as, sometimes better depending on how the pub stores their beer

Liverpool-Lad · 10 Oct 2011 at 17:14

A nice Hefeweizen or Dopplebock would be lovely. Please brew me 40 pints right away

LeJosh · 10 Oct 2011 at 17:57

I know those pictures are couple years old but damn they look tasty.

I love beers and ales.

Confirmed, I used to make all grain beer and they are as good as any real ale. Even making a beer with pale malt and a single hop variety can give excellent results.

I still have all my gear and may post in this thread at a later date as I'm getting the urge to brew.

Jolly spiffing.

Arrived this morning, thanks a lot Paul! Will hopefully get a brew on next week, just need to make the chiller and then I'm ready.

Sent you an email as well.
