The Brewers Choice store at Chapel Hill always has a good supply.

I believe the Regatta is once again got the micro brewery going. Brewing James Squire?? Not sure, all heresay. Will have to go have a look/taste.

Strange, I have brewed CMP 3 times, each time with different adjuncts and each time FG has not dropped below 1.020. That was with the included yeast though.

I have seen this happen with some of my brews that I have racked to secondary and kept at a lower temperature until fermentation has completed. The lower the temperature of your brew the more dissolved CO2 you get. Thats why you if you bulk prime you should compensate for this. Somewhere in this ...

Is this the place?

I brewed a Pilsner last year. It tasted terrible at first but was a beauty after about 6 months. Be patient.....

Try wetting your glass with cold water before pouring your beer.

I just print labels onto a standard sheet of A4 paper. 10 Labels per sheet, cut them out with scissors and stick them onto the bottles with milk. (2% )
Comes off really easy as well.

I did the 3kg ESB pilsner about a year ago. It was terrible to start with, very bitter, almost undrinkable. But... as the months ticked by it became one of the best brews I have made.

"Brewers Choice" at Chapel Hill or any of their other shops stock Whitelabs Yeast.

They make one good beer, "Castle Lager"
The others are pretty ordinary.
I'll be at the match tonight....
Won't be drinking the XXXX at the stadium though!

You could try some of these kits from Grain and Grape:

I have not tried them so I cannot comment.

I have done mostly kits but in the past couple of months have had a couple of goes at doing partials and have attempted 2 AG's. The AG's were half size batches. ie only 12 litres. My mash tun is too small for even what I am doing. So am working on getting a bigger one. After my all grain attempts my ...

Mmmmm...
I have made quite a few variations of Coopers Pale Ale. I have always been more than happy with the result.

Thinking.....
If what I thought was OK actually sucks.....
What am I missing out on!!!!
Think of all the great (even better) beers that I can still make... 8) :D 8)

I must add, I ...

I've bottled quite a few batches that were "stuck" at 1.020. Did with some of them try various options to get it fermenting again with no success. Added more yeast, stirred, added nutrient, racked, raised the temperature etc. No luck each time I tried, refused to go any further. They all turned out ...

Wet your glass, as in rinse it with clean water before pouring your beer.

I recently made 2 half batches (12 litres) in a standard size fermenter. Did not have any problems.

I had a quick look in my "Brew Like a Monk" book.

Mostly Pilsener Malt (75 -90%), with Pale malt (0-13%), Munich malt(0-4%), and crystal malt (0-4%). Also wheat(0-7%), sugar(4-22%) and even honey(0-7%).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I have a history with CMP.
It was my first kit and first attempt with homebrew. Not knowing what to do, I followed some bad advice and added a kilo of normal sugar as the only addition to the kit. Just poured it in straight out of the packet. Some time later that day I realised that what I had ...

"Cheers" in Spring Hill also brew their own. I have tasted their brew and they are quiet nice.
