My buddy wrote a separate web page/feed for the recipes and such. <br />http://www.unholymess.com/blog/lets-brew<br /><br />The same site also has all the info on invert sugar making. <br /><br />I'll chat with him and see if we can add a comments section on it as well.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-4206943159634190602011-11-17T11:06:37.852-08:002011-11-17T11:06:37.852-08:00Hi Kirsten and thx for the reply. I think for the ...Hi Kirsten and thx for the reply. I think for the home brewer in the uk 23litres is near enough 5 imperial gallons and most common brewing set-up is 40 imperial pints as that is how most equipment I.e. fermenting vessels for homebrewing are sold. Can only speak for myself but I think we need to cleave towards those who may actually bother to brew the beers. Can I also beg you through Ron to ask if we can put all recipes in a separate section easily accessible after let's brew wednesdays and possibly some way of commenting /rating the brew after we have sampled. Many thanks again for a superb site to both of you!Iain_mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-14300067981063464042011-11-17T07:34:17.326-08:002011-11-17T07:34:17.326-08:00Iain_m,

I have people that do 19, 23, 25, 30. 23 being the UK Imperial gal equivalent.

Otherwise this whole old brews is just superb. 1868 xp is awesome after three weeks doesn't clear fast but shake the bottles a few times during conditioning it clears and wow if you like a bright beer that tastes superb this is it...how did we end up drinking rubbish 150 yrs later? thanks guysIain_mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-21783468234526203022011-11-16T10:03:10.370-08:002011-11-16T10:03:10.370-08:00Iain_m,

Would it help if I changed the 19L to 22.7 whatnot liters?<br /><br />I asked a few buddies in the UK adn Europe and they said 19L was good for them. Either can be done, what do other people think? If you have to recalculate things that goes against what I'm trying to do. If there is a set 'liter' mark, I can set up the system to do that instead. <br /><br />KristenKristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-14094977827383593162011-11-16T09:31:01.750-08:002011-11-16T09:31:01.750-08:00half-man-half-pint, I see how that Homebase fits r...half-man-half-pint, I see how that Homebase fits right in.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-61655780861715250202011-11-16T09:20:30.808-08:002011-11-16T09:20:30.808-08:00half-man-half-pint, what was I thinking.

Thisappears to be the case as all weights in imperial convert directly to the metric under 19 litres. Just a warning! keep up the good work!Iain_mnoreply@blogger.com
