Guinness Clone Mark 3
Same recipe as previously. The difference here was fermenting in my new Fermzilla fermenter. I had intended to do a pressure ferment but when I went to keg it, I discovered that there was no pressure in the Fermzilla – I had accidentally left the pressure release open! I did my first attempt at a …

Does full volume mash affect maltiness and body of the beer ?
I came across a very interesting discussion on the effect of full volume mash on the fermentablity of the wort and resulting maltiness and body of the beer in BIAB brewing on HomeBrewTalk. My approach is to mash with about 2/3 of the water with 1/3 reserved for sparging. I have considered doing a full …

- Favorite Beers?
- To be honest, there are not many beers that I don't like. I tend to gravitate towards hoppiness. I like a good APA such as Tuatara APA, Epic Pale Ale, etc. Hoppy IPAs like Hopwired. And there is something immensely satisfying about a nice creamy Guinness Draught (esp. when served from a good Guinness pub in Ireland).

Hi Aidan,
Yep, we try and meet up every 4-6 weeks or so to taste each others beers. You're very welcome to come along, we tend to get a pretty good turn out. The Crate swap is completely optional; those that want to swap brews bring along 750mL bottles (or similar) to swap in a one-for-one fashion.
Cheers - Dylan
Hey man, sorry I did pass through Nelson there without even thinking about dropping you a line! Was pretty hectic catching up with the Family etc. It is probably getting a little too late to plant and expect a huge yield of flowers this season, but if I could get you some when I'm next up at Christmas, you could always plant and let them establish for next season! Let me know. Cheers, Fraser
Hi Aidan if you know how to contact Bill Fennel tell him I have made a cover for his motor but I have lost all his contact details , and have been away for 3 days with my daughter at the ski fields at Mt Lyford , cheers Allen
