Re: Home brewing in London

Thanks for the link Warra, just having a quick glance through the recipes section was enlightening!
And about the coopers kits? I saw those prices and thought Jeebus what am I in for. I'll be living round the corner from the junction tavern in Tufnell Park which was doing a different menu of local ...

The home-brew-shop web site seems a good start but do any of you learned folks know,

cheers

How long do hops keep in the fridge?

I've had some hops (amerillo) in my fridge door for about six months. The packet has been opened but is quite well wrapped up. My question is, are they still good to use?

And yeah they ...
