Hi,
We have the first shipment of Grainfathers arriving at the start of next week. We met with the manufacturers at BrauBeviale last year and it did look an interesting product. We managed to secure a portion of the first European shipment. We plan to take one for ourselves to make sure we understand what we are selling and hey if it makes life easier.... They should arrive next Tuesday, all going to plan. If anyone wants to call in and kick the tyres on one, we will have our one open for display. The plan is to brew on it next Saturday, 11th, so if anyone wants to pop in and see how it works please pop in.
Time, Recipe and volumes to be decided.

Hi wondering could you look into gettin some of the yeast bay stuff they do the vermont strain and a couple of sour blends which people might be interested in and they're packaged by whitelabs, just a suggestion
Sorry about that Shane, I'll get a frsh one out to you when they arrive. Will take a look at the yeast bay option also.
When will you be getting star San back in stock?
We got these in stock earlier this week. We did a brewing demo today with it. This is a really impressive machine. We brewed an Extra Irish Stout. Expected results were 23 litres at OG of 1056. We finished with 25 litres at 1060. We calculated efficiency at 86%. The brew went very smooth and we attributed the higher than normal efficiency to the fact that the wort is pumped from the bottom and back over the grain for the entirety of the one hour mash. The wort is continually circulating. The counter flow worked great and we were able to pump through it straight to the fermenter in a matter of minutes at the end of the boil. We now have this one in the shop if anyone would like to pop in for a poke about with it. We plan to do another demo in the coming weeks if anyone wants to take a peek. We had a twitter feed with some photos here from today also:
https://twitter.com/Thehomebrewcomp?lang=en
We have the 4oz in stock:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/star-san-sanitiser-4-oz-118ml-p-2784.html
but only a few remaining, we ran out the 32oz this week. It will be back in stock the week after next.
We have just added a second Irish malt to our website, Minch Pilsen/ Lager Malt. We have it on special to launch it. You can purchase in 25kg bags whole or crushed or we have a 1kg incriment option:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/crushed-grain-crushed-base-malts-c-69_231_70.html for crushed
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/whole-malt-whole-base-malts-c-69_232_233.html for whole
We have also added 33 different 2014 Hop varieties to the site including some new types. We are now stocking 52 leaf varieties and upped our Pellet range to 38 varieties:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/hops-c-77.html
Have a look at the new products here:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/products_new.html
As always if there is something we are not stocking for you just pop us an email and we can look at stocking.
We have a new massive malt range arriving the week after next also. We will update as soon as we have a fixed delivery date.
Enjoy
Shane
White labs have now arrived and site is updated. We have to build a few new white labs yeast and some new white las enzymes later. Will update when new products built.
Shane
We have a limited number of refurbished Cornelius kegs available for a one time only offer. We are offering these for €36.85 which equates to €35 when you use your members discount code. We have limited numbers available. We are also doing a special on a five pack:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/beer-wine-equipment-cornelius-keg-systems-c-2_25.html
We won't have the kegs for about three weeks but could be sooner. We are offering you guys these first before they arrive. You can prepay online to ensure you get one of the kegs.
How do I buy one? Simply purchase them from the site. Your order will be held until they arrive. You will be contacted when the kegs arrive and the kegs will be shipped to you. If you are purchasing these as part of an order, we will ship the order minus the keg of course. We will ship the keg separately when they arrive. A separate shipping charge will need to be paid for the shipping of the keg. You can also collect the kegs from the shop.
Please enjoy.
Shane
Holy sh*t, that seems like a great price. Are these the taller Ball Lock kegs as opposed to the stubby ones? Are all seals replaced etc?
I just ordered some. Can i add to the order later and get that stuff shipped with the kegs?
ditto on jawalemon

I included some hops in the order without reading this part. I'd rather if the hops were just included with the keg.

Many thanks for the offer. I'm going to cross post on the keg group buy as well for interested people.
I put a note on my order that I'd like to order a few bits and pieces when these are going to ship, to combine the shipping for the orders.
awesome, it's nice to see some kegs available for affordable prices :)
I'd like to order a couple, but I know next to nothing about connects, c02 and gereral keggerating, so I might order two, then do some research and add to the order later before Mid-May if thats cool?
has anyone actually got a guide to kegging here on this forum they could link me to?

Unbelievable price though. I bought 2 but was tempted to get more despite not at all needing more.
Just placed on order for these- thanks for this Shane.
I'll buy the rest of the kit you need for these (if you have them in stock) when ready to ship - hopefully you will be contacting us before shipping.

Hi all, glad to see everyone got on at this stage. Just an update. There has been a change in plan. The kegs will start to arrive to us over the week end. We will hope to start to ship these early next week. For those of you who wish to add on, can you do so before Sunday. Please state in the notes of your add on, the original order number that you are adding to as this will ensure all goes smoothly.
TY

Anyone who ordered 5 kegs and used their Beoir or nhc discount code will presumably get their delivery free as it's still over 150 euro?
Awww man, totally forgot about the discount!

This is good and also bad, as I have yet to tell my SO about the kegs...and I'm getting them delivered to her work! ??? ;D
Me too always remember about 5 mins after placing the order. Also missed the discount for 5 ordered 6 last time I'll use the phone to fill the order couldn't read the item thought it was the ad for new. Time for a trip to the opticians

Is the 5 pack deal on the corny kegs finished? I can only see 4pack for €145
Ha, price shot upto €155 since I posted last question
Price has increased slightly as introductory offer finished. There are very few of these left now. On another note we were able to secures a
deal for grey and black disconnects. Now half price. These are the original high quality disconnects.

Any update on the White Labs order?
Hi All,
The yeast was shipped last night from the states. It was delayed as we are piggybacking the FREE yeasts from Brewcon in with this order. We hope to have them Monday, Tuesday. We have compiled a list of all people who handed back the yeast coupon at brewcon. If it was not handed back in at brewcon it is now to late to redeem. You get one vial per coupon. Please put a note on your next order with your name and we will cross reference against the coupons we were handed back. We will add your free yeast to the order. In order to make this run as smooth as possible we would ask that all yeasts are claimed back within 2 weeks of this date. We cannot be responsible for yeasts going past their sell by date and for logistics we need to move these on as quick as possible as .
Shane
All white labs have now been stocked onto the website and all requests where possible have been added including Fuck loads of Brett. We have brought in 8 new strains also, check here:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/products_new.html
including Cry Havoc a new strain Licensed from Charlie Papazian, which will ferment at both ale and lager temps.
Enjoy,
Shane
Shane does this delivery include the BrewCon yeasts?
Hi Will, Yes it does. They are due tomorrow all going well.
We have finally got around to building all our Castle malts onto the website, it only took 3 weeks to get to. We are now stocking almost all Castle malts, speciality and pale at the cheapest prices in Europe. Check out the Chateau range scattered throughout our website.

Hi Shane, forgot to add a note there this morning about Brewcon yeast. Usual email and the order was marked for collection by your frequent flyer! Would you mind adding the Brett to it please and thanks.
We have samples of brand the new Munich Classic Wheat Beer Yeast on the way. Not sure of the amounts but will offer these up on here for anyone wanting to try one. They are very excited about the new strain.

I'd love to give it a go!
i would love to try it , will be ordering a dunkel mash kit this week and want a good yeast.
It would be great if a dry yeast could compare with the liquid yeast for a wheat beer. I'd love to try one.
Hi Shane,
I'd also love to try out this new Munich Classic Wheat Beer yeast.
Hi Shane, would love to try it. I've a Roggenbier planned.
We have 10 of the 11g packs on the way and one of the Brewery size packs 500g, Declan I have that held for you. The first 10 people who express an interest can have one each of the 11g packs so 4 of the 11g packs gone and the 500g pack gone also. Just give some honest feedback to the manufacturer. Might have them on Friday all going well. I can post the small packs or add them to orders.
Enjoy,
Shane
Hi Shane, I'd love to give this a try. A wheat beer is definitely on the cards. Thanks
Id give a pack a go! I'm brewing a simple Weiss with wb-06 this weekend so could split for comparison...
I'd love to give a pack a go too. I have loads of wheat i need to use up!
I'll take a pack please. Was thinking of doing a hull melon wheat in a couple of weeks. This would definitely push me to do it.
I would like one please, I have a wheat beer ready to go.
I think Cambrinus/Franz Bakz may have an order in progress, just add it in here.
Also, bundle in WLP041 from Brewcon if not already done.
Thanks Shane

Thanks for sorting that out quickly guys!
Hi,
We are now stocking the full range of the huge German Malster Bestmalz. Bestmalz uses top-grade two-row summer malting barley and brewing wheat from the best cultivation areas in southwestern Germany. The barley is healthy and pure, fine spelt and strongly enzymatic.
BESTMALZ uses germination technology, controlled germination without chemical additives (German Purity Law) in Saladin compartments. The malt is regarded as some of the finest Malt in the world. We have taken in large volumes of the following malts:
Wheat Malt
Pilsen Malt
Pale Ale Malt
Munich Malt
Heidelberg Malt
Vienna Malt
Wheat Malt Dark
Munich Malt Dark
Red X
Melanoidin Light
Melanoidin
Caramel Pils
Caramel Hell
Caramel Aromatic
Caramel Amber
Caramel Munich I
Caramel Munich III
Special X
Acidulated Malt
We now have the full range built onto the website. We have slashed the pricing on all of this range to give you guys the chance to brew with it yourselves. There are also some exclusives in there to the Irish market:
Red X: BEST Red X is specially created for brewing red-tinted beers. You can use BEST Red X for up to 100% of your grain bill – no other malt is required. Offering exceptional reliability and optimal process ability, BEST Red X can be employed to brew consistently fiery beers with intense reddish hues. Its full-bodied flavour and attractive, unique colour coupled with easy handling in the brewery make BEST Red X the best choice for creating a broad range of new beers, such as red-tinted wheat beers.
Special X: BEST Special X imparts to beer – depending on the amount in the grist – a smooth roasty flavour reminiscent of raisins or dried fruit. The beer possesses a chestnut to dark hue (depending on rate) and an aromatic and harmonious full-bodied character. The malt does not, however, introduce bitter roasted flavours but rather brings a mild smoothness to beer without any of the astringent qualities associated with other dark malts. BEST Special X is a cool and "crafty" malt-product. Any craft-brewer should try-out this malt in his or her creations. BEST Special X is produced according to a unique malting process and is very gently kilned afterwards.
We do hope you try some:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/products_new.html
Enjoy
Shane
Just spotted this earlier! Well done! I haven't seen this company carried anywhere in the UK etc! Definitely going to try the Red X really want to see what it can do!
Special X and Red X sound like "speciality" satellite tv channels :D
Hi All,
We are placing an order for white labs this weekend, should be here next week. If anyone has any last minute requests just pop it on here and I will check back in on Sunday. This Month's Platinum's are:
July/Aug
WLP006 Bedford British Ale Yeast
WLP540 Abbey IV Yeast
WLP585 Belgian Saison III Yeast
On another note we would like to let everyone know that we are now stocking the full Minch Speciality range:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/grain-minch-irish-malt-c-69_265.html
The new warehouse is packed to the rafters with all the new grain now on offer with the new Bestmalz flying out the door also, the Red X is proving practically popular. This range won't be beaten on quality, diversity and price.
We have also added an all grain recipe build option on our site, it is very simple, just follow the guidelines and we can build almost any all grain kit. This is proving particularly popular already:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/a-custom-build-mash-kit-23-litres-p-3081.html
Enjoy
Shane
Shane, can your existing recipes for mash kits now be ordered using whole grain because of this new ordering thingy?
Yes, just order through the site and put a noye on the order to say you want the grains whole.
That's an excellent feature, in particular that you package up the whole recipe as given. Perfect for saving in ordering too much of certain grains.
Can I also request a liquid yeast option for an additional charge, like they do on the American sites?
Go on, then. Stick us down for a Saison (WLP585). This balmy Irish summmer has me in the mood for brewing Saisons. Thanks.
WLP006 please Shane. Thanks
Hi Shane,
mash kits are a great idea,
I can see the max hop amount is 160g, what is the max grain Kg?
Rgds,
Hi,
We will add the white labs to the order. On the custom all grain kits:
The Max grain allowed has now been added to the instructions and we have settled on 8kg, so get building your Imperials ;D
We have added a liquid yeast version now also:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/all-grain-mash-kits-c-194.html
We have also not forgotten about our extract brewers out there and added this option to that range also:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/extract-beer-kits-c-164.html
And as for the kit brewers, this option has always been there for you, you have your Orgasms
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/the-orgasm-ipa-40-pints-30-kg-p-2458.html
They are proving quite popular so far. If there is any more feedback please let us know and we can take a look. We now hope we have everything and everybody covered.
Shane

we won't go making anything up with 200g of hops for dry hopping
Oh well, that's me out anyway... ;)
Seriously though, great news lads.
One other thing I'd like to see is whole malts available in 250g bags. Some grains you just don't need 1kg of.
There are also some malts that are available in 500g bags but they're already crushed. I can't stand buying crushed malt, would love to see more flexible options around whole malts.
250g in the speciality malts would be great!
Those mash kits are great. So much handier than having loads of spare bags of grain around. Great work.
OK we have taken the feedback on board and we have changed the whole malts to all 500g quantities from the 1kgs. We could not go to smaller increments or you guys would never get your orders out and the lads in the shop would quit. If it helps, the majority of the malts in 500g packs are less than €1 now, never before has there been such value.
Also found four boxes of T-58 11g yeast today with a best before date of August 2015. We have put these on at 60% off:

White labs arrived Wednesday, the new WLP006 and WLP585 have been added to the website also.
Thanks,

We are now carrying a nice little range of push fittings. Anyone having trouble matching gas line to disconnects and regulators can now breathe easy we hope:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/beer-wine-equipment-connector-fittings-c-2_209.html
Shane
Just in time was planning on calling into the shop on Friday,
Great idea with all them kegs regs and taps floating around, was just about to order from fleabay the fittings for the disconnects
What function do the ones with the stem have is that to slot into flexible line with a jubilee clip?
I plan on using the right angle stem for my taps, as the room behind isn't enough to bend the tubing safely, with the stem I can attach it to the tap at a right angle, and I imagine for people with 3/16 tubing but with 3/8 outputs in the keg and tap, could connect directly to the stem instead of using a small bit of 3/8 tubing and a straight reducer.
Excellent selection, thanks! See the stem elbows, is the stem 3/16 or 3/8? Need a 3/16 stem, see...

Hi Tom,
They are all 3/8 stem changing into the 3 sizes for the line. I'll check for other stem sizes the next time. The lads in the shop love seen these on orders :D They would just love to hear it is to be extended!
Not as popular as I'll be ordering 2" of 3/16th tubing! ;D
Cheers, I'll keep an eye on the site.

All the yeasts are now in stock and on the site including the new Zurich Lager yeast:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/white-labs-wlp885-zurich-lager-yeat-p-3222.html
we also managed to nab a few more wlp590 french saisons, proving very popular and the feedback has been great so.
We have some Galaxy Pellet 2015 harvest landed today after some enormous effort if anyone is interested also. Will get it up tomorrow with some other new hop varieties.
TY
Shane
2015 pellets? The day after I placed an order.... What a surprise :( >:(
Shoulda hit 'save cart' and slept on it Del boy!
Any chance finding out what 2015 hops you'll be getting an when? Thinking of getting a bunch from yakima valley this year to get the freshest possible, but if you guys are on the ball, well... :)
Thanks Shane I'll have an order in over the weekend
Went through the fridges and did a quick white labs stock take. We have a few yeasts past or approaching their best before dates so knocked 50% for those of you who like to prop ;)
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/specials.html

The first 2015 hop to hit Ireland Galaxy Pellets:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/galaxy-aus-pellets-100g-145-aa-vacuum-packed-2015-harvest-p-1846.html
We have also added Hull Melon Pellets:
Very new on the market, Hull Melon made its debut in 2012. A daughter of Cascade, this amazing hop has flavour characteristics not commonly associated with hops. It is said to be intensely fruity with a honeydew melon and strawberry aroma and flavour. It contains alpha acids of up to 7.6% and is matched in beta acids. High myrcene and humulene.
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/hull-melon-alpha-acid-74-100g-vacuum-packed-2014-p-3224.html
And some Mandarina Bavaria Pellets:
Origin: Germany. A daughter of Cascade, along with Hallertau Blanc and Hüll Melon, and released in 2012.
Usage: Aroma. A tangerine machine when used for late, whirlpool, and dry hop additions, Mandarina Bavaria is quickly finding support in the brewhouse for American IPA and variants, black ales, saisons, Brett fermentations, and other beers where a definite fruity and strongly hoppy character is beneficial.
Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Intense pineapple, lemon and citrus flavors with a resinous, herbal followup. Sweet and distinctive.
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/mandarina-bavaria-alpha-acid-80-100g-vacuum-packed-2014-p-3225.html
lots more on the way in the coming weeks.
Enjoy

Hey, I have one of your old mash tuns with the copper pipe inside with the slots cut in it. I just seen the upgraded mash tun and am wondering is possible to purchase the new parts without the mash tun and will they fit onto the tap on the old design?
Thanks.
Hi Danny,
Can ys send me on an email with some pics of the tap both from inside and outside the mash tun. Should be able to adapt it. Dont suppose your near us to drop it in?

We have one left of the older model, when that goes we will have the new versions with the T-filters.
We have just added a solution for those of you who have issues with bags getting scorched by the elements in your Pecos. We have had these built for us:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/stainless-steel-false-bottom-with-legs-326mm-diam-fits-peco-p-3275.html
These might work for a number of different systems. Bit pricey, even more expensive than the Peco but they are quality.
We have also taken another delivery of BEST MALZ and have added Rye and Caramunich Type II to the range, all whole and crushed to order, prices are good too.
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/products_new.html
One last thing, we are placing an order with Brouwland this weekend if anyone needs anything from their extensive catalogue:
https://www.brouwland.com/en
Order almost ready and will be submitted Sunday night, state of mind and body after the match depending :)
Pop up any requests here or send us an email.

(https://images.washingtonpost.com/?url=https://img.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2014/05/wink01.gif&op=noop)
Hi,
We have been asked for our views on a potential new product by one of our suppliers. We dont have one to try. There is currently a video of one online here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFetuYkmtb4
Cool Brewing bag: fermentation cooler
Control your fermentation process:
Use frozen 2L bottles.
2x bottles lowers the temp. 10 degrees.
1x bottle lowers 5 degrees below ambient.
Depending on amount of bottles this is efficient up to a 30 degree drop.
Switch out frozen bottles every 24 hours
Contain any blowouts
100% waterproof and insulated
Easy to clean.
Compacts for easy storage in small places.
Would appreciate people feedback/thoughts/ opinions good or bad. We will look for samples for people to try.
Thanks,
Shane
Is there a hole in them so you can get in a temp probe / brew belt? Looks like nice clean insulation if you can get a bit on temp control on them
Hey Shane,
I currently own two of these bags, I got them from a supplier in Norway. My house is particularly warm and keeping temperatures down is a nightmare, once fermentation got started the brew could be up at 27c and we all know what that means.
I don't have the room for a fridge so I did some research and found the cool brewing bag. User reviews were really impressive, the only problem was the price of shipping from the US was colossal. Thanks to the really nice guy in CB he pointed me in the direction of a HBS in Norway and I purchased two.
The quality of the bag is impressive, if I had to say it had any let downs it would be the zips, I'd like them a little more robust, other than that it's perfect. I can easily fit my fermenter and a demijohn for blow off in there with plenty of room to spare.
there's two zips which can meet in the middle, I've been able to feed my STC temp probe in there and close the zips around it, so getting a brew belt in is no problem.
Cleaning it is quite easy as the bag can turn inside out and a rub with a damp cloth does the trick. It is water tight, my first run I just lobbed the frozen water bottles in and the leaked inside the bag, but everything was contained. I now just put the water bottles in a little bowl to save on drying the inside later.
The best thing is it easily folds up and fits under the spare bed, or in the press.
I thought changing bottles would be a really ball ache, but you get in to a routine and it really is every 24 hours, unlike swamp coolers. Initially there is some learning to get the desired temp, I now use a combination of 1L and 500ml bottles and know exactly how many to put in to get my temp.
I would love to see you stock the cool brewing bag because I'm sure I'll need another one :), and it's great for those who want to control temps but don't have the option/space for a fridge.
If anyone has questions please feel free to ask!
Here it is in action , this was my christmas ale, 4 days in to fermentation...lost 2L to blow off (demijohn), but the bag stayed clean :)
(https://db.tt/A7vFCLAg)
Great review Aidan. They look the bees knees. I'd love one myself
Nice, wouldn't mind a few of those
I would be all over one of those! Would love to try a lager in it!
Hmm a few sitting on a shelf in the shed and wrap or band heaters might be interesting to try out.
Good review! Thanks for that.
Wouldn't mind one or two of those.
that sounds like the business. I'd have one.
depending on the price, these might be a great alternative to a fridge.
So, what price could you have them on the market for?
Would probably buy one myself if the price was right.
Hi All,
White labs order going in this weekend, any requests just pop them up here. Might be the last one this year so if brewing over Christmas and want something special..........

I have been itching to have another crack at brewing a lager/pilsner but since i lost my keezer i can't,so i would be very interetsed in one of those bags depending on price of course. ;D

It probably is possible but you are putting a major strain on the HBCs to process secondary information like:
Order 1 submitted.
Order 2, several hours later, "Oh BTW can you piggy back this onto my mates Order (which I don't have a reference number for)"
If you want to piggy back do it at the club level and just submit one order!

Congrats! When do the discounts get applied?
Congratulations, and I was putting in an order this weekend and all.
Congratulations Shane. Well done and its amazing how we have all expanded this hobby over the last 10 years. What will the next 10 bring?
Order submitted.
A couple of questions: The cheaper Merlot and red wine kits are always oos and as for small tines of elderberry wanted 4 but only 1 in stock?
Is every one making my vintage port?
Dang nabbit. If only I had known, I just ordered yesterday and all.
On the positive side though it was delivered this morning. Happy Birthday guys
Hi,
Fresh White labs have arrived and are now in the fridge:

Hi All,
We have some new and exciting news this week. We just received the first supply in Ireland of the New Minch Pale Malt. This malt has been specifically malted for the Homebrew and Craft Beer Industry. We are proud to represent Minch for the Homebrew Market and have recently signed an exclusive contract with them such has been the growth of this brand for both ourselves and Minch. We are now the exclusive distributors for Ireland and the UK, something we are very proud of.
Minch Irish Craft Pale Malt 4-6 EBC
Minch Malt have recently allocated their smaller Robert Boby Malting plant to produce an ale malt specifically designed to appeal to the craft brewer. The malting regime is unique and not used for any of our other customers giving a higher colour (4-6 EBC), more flavour with lower moisture due to the extended time and temperature of the kilning process. This malt will be stored in a designated silo throughout the year, and only sold to ourselves and craft brewers. This malt has already been tried and tested by a number of craft brewers and the feedback has been very positive.
To promote the new malt we have placed a limited number of bags into our weekly specials, we have added the whole and crushed versions, one bag per customer.

Hi all,
We have just added the full range of Mangrove jacks Yeasts to the site:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/yeast-dried-beer-and-cider-yeasts-c-62_63.html
We noticed the M84 Bohemian Lager is best before 12/15, we have about 50 of these at 50% off. They should be fine, have been stored correctly:

When are you putting up the 2015 hops Shane?
Plan on getting to it tonight, carzy busy at the minute. Need to assess whats there and the correct alphas, get them into cold storage and repacked etc... We had 1 tonne arrive so taking longer than expected.
Shane
Hi,
We managed to get the 2015 Citra, El Dorado and Sorachi Ace onto the site last night:
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=2015&autocomplate_id=&search_in_description=1
These have fallen into the 20% OFF sale so snap up the freshest hops in Ireland at sale prices!
This is the result of months of work and planning. We are proud to bring the 2015 harvest in before Christmas for the first time in our 10 year history, its in even before the hop suppliers themselves this year. It is a measure of how much we have grown and how much you guys have helped us grow. We have several other varieties to add, even more than we had listed above. Keep an eye on the site and we will of course keep you posted. I will try get some pictures up of our new state of the art drive in cold room tomorrow. I won't belittle it by calling it walk in ;)
Enjoy
Shane
Got my order very promptly there cheers.
Just a suggestion for the site, when ordering grain instead of having multiple listings with different amounts maybe one listing with a drop down for quantities?
Also it'd be great if more of the grains were available in 1kg/5kg/10kg multiples especially for the base malts like mild ale/Vienna/Munich etc. 1kg would be handy as well a lot of the caramel/specialty malts.
Great to see the 2015 hops in now Shane. Good news!
Citra didn't last long. :o

This years pellet harvest is hardly gone already?
Apologies for the delay on this, the first of the 2015 hops arrived before Christmas but I was threatened with staff walk out if I put them onto the site in the Christmas run in, it was manic to say the least. They went straight into the new cold store. I have gone through what has arrived now and the site is now updated. This is the first year we have brought hops direct from the US ourselves and we hope you will be happy with the results. The following are now in stock:
Leaf 2015
Apollo
Citra
Liberty
El Dorado
Chinook
Sorachi Ace
Cascade
Pellet 2015
Centennial
Cascade
Sorachi Ace
Apollo
Nugget
The Citra, Columbus and Summit pellets are on the next shipment which is due next week along with many others. We have another huge load arriving next week. We will have a number of new varieties coming from the US to go along with the new ones we already brought across earlier this year. We should also have a large European hop order arriving late next week sometime, watch this space.

Safcider Dry Cider Yeast 5g Dried Yeast

We got them in but they did not fit the disconnects, they had a fitted insert in them that would not allow them to screw onto the disconnects. We are trying to get in the correct ones.

Will you be getting the Best Pale Ale malt in before the current offer ends?
Also one of the Cornelius kegs I got in a previous order won't hold pressure no matter what I do with it. It got a fair knock in a previous life by the looks of it. Can I get credit for against an order of a further 3 kegs (i.e. have it counted against your current keg offer) or return it?
Will you be getting in John Guest FFL to 3/16" as well?

None of those are the 3/16 FFL though. Is there a direct 3/16 FFL? - cant seem to find one.
There's no 3/16 ffl connector, easiest thing is to get the 3/8 ffl adapter and a 3/8 to 3/16 stem to tube adapter.

Hi, wondering if you guys ever have honey malt? I thought I saw it on your site before but not sure.
I don't think I've ever seen that for sale in Ireland even though a lot of US recipes have it for things like Kolsch. I've just used melanoidin in its place with reasonable results, or someone recommended a low crystal like 10 or 20, bit of experimenting required.

Just happen to be trying a honey lager I made using honey malt. My first time tasting it. I have subbed melanoiden for honey malt in the past. Having tasted it now , there is no substitute. honey malt tastes like honey. The substitutes don't. Relative was coming in from toronto and I got some brought over. Would be great to have it supplied here.
Yep was just looking on net they malt in a low oxygen environment apparently?, not sure anybody outside Canada does it!

Will you guys be offering 1kg/5kg prices for some of the other malts like acid malt etc.? Also Malteries Franco-Belges do a Diastatic Amber Malt, available from Brupaks, could I order a 5kg bag? I ask as you're down as the Brupaks dealer in Ireland.

Our Best Acid Malt comes in 500g increments, simply select 10 packs for 5kg. This costs €12.10 which is 30% cheaper than anything else out there. All our increments are priced low so you get the best value on the market no matter how little or high volume you buy. This way you don't have to buy large volumes to get the best value.
We no longer stock the Brupaks ranges.

Cheers for getting back to me, I just ask as sometimes I'd be getting larger quantities of the specialty malts.
You have Crisp malt on your site as well, can you get their range as well? I'd like to try their Chevallier malt if possible.

Hi All,
We have some new offers now running for February:
10% OFF All Grain Mash Kits for the remainder of February
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/all-grain-mash-kits-c-194.html
We are knocking 10% off our full mash kit range for the remainder of February. Each kit is crushed and packed to order, which means you receive the freshest kits out there. Our kits have won numerous awards and don't forget we now offer a custom build option so every recipe is now possible with no leftover wasted ingredients! Just stick the recipe in the notes – no complications!
10% OFF the Used Corny Kegs for the Rest of February
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/beer-wine-equipment-cornelius-keg-systems-c-2_25.html
We have a limited amount of second hand Cornelius kegs available for a one time only offer. This is the lowest price you will ever get one of these kegs for. Ball lock kegs with pressure relief valve in the lid. These are now nearing an end!
New Bulk Pricing On Minch Irish Pale and Pilsner Malt
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=minch+craft+pale&autocomplate_id=&search_in_description=1
We have just renewed an extended contract with our Irish Malt supplier Minch. To celebrate this we are now offering discounted pricing on the 25kg bags both whole and crushed. We are now stocking a new Craft Pale Malt from Minch. This malt is produced in the smaller Robert Boby Malting plant to produce an ale malt specifically designed to appeal to the craft brewer. The malting regime is unique and not used for any of our other customers giving a higher colour (4-6 EBC), more flavour with lower moisture due to the extended time and temperature of the kilning process. This malt will be stored in a designated silo throughout the year, and only sold to homebrewers and craft brewers.
10% Off all grain until the end of February, both whole and crushed
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/grain-c-69.html
We are striving to give you the best value grain solution anywhere in Europe and now we can slash 10% off all grain whole and crushed for the remainder of February. We have just been appointed the official Irish Distributor for BestMalz, something we are very happy with:
http://www.bestmalz.de/en/distributors/#ireland
We have more news on the way on the grain front in the coming months.
10% Off all our Full Extract Kits until the end of February.
Don't see a recipe you like then try the custom build option!
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/extract-beer-kits-c-164.html
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/beercider-kits-hbc-full-extract-kits-23lts-c-1_216.html
10% Off our Bruphoria Beer Kit Range for February
https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/beercider-kits-bruphoria-30kg-40-pints-c-1_244.html
These have become ever more popular with people and have been getting great feedback since we launched almost two years ago. We were the first to bring the self build kits to the market with our Orgasm beer kit and this has grown to become our best selling beer kit on the entire site.
Enjoy!

Crap, now I have another box to try and sneak past the wife!!
Do what my wife does and leaves it in the boot until the middle of the night, however BT police have been doing more boot checks recently and then she upped her game and left the bag with a neighbour so I have taken to marking the fancy bags in the bag cupboard and know when a new one suddenly appears.
It's a war out there.
Brilliant, I love it!

Fresh stocks of white labs now on the site and some other exciting news, we are now stocking the full Yeast Bay Liquid Yeast range:

Great to see the YB being stocked. Excited to try some of these
Excellent! Nice to get these yeasts locally, rather than having to order them from the UK. Cheers HBC.
Looking forward to trying the Vermont ale yeast at some stage.
Are you putting in an order DC?
I just received one yesterday so I won't be for a while.
Doh
Ordered the Vermont Ale yeast for a SMaSH I have planned. I'm excited to get to use it after reading so much on US based forums.
Did an AG brew tonight. Step by step on Twitter with some nice picS:

Hi I was into the shop last week and bought the digital p.h meter probe and have read the instructions that are brutally translated from Chinese I'm guessing. Anyway I'm supposed to calibrate the probe and there's no powder or solution in the pack the probe came in so can you tell me what I can do ? Am I supposed to use 4.0 and 7.0 p.h testers that u have in the shop?

Hi all,
We are ordering from White labs this weekend if anyone has any requests:
May/June Platinum Strains
WLP072 French Ale Yeast
WLP410 Belgian Wit II Yeast
The New Hook Head Series Pale Malt offer for Brewcon has been keeping us on our toes. Can I ask people to please remember to specify whether they wanted the Malt whole or crushed? A few people had also mentioned the idea of running a competition with the Malt. I have spoken with Minch and if ye wanted to organise this, we would be more than happy to joint sponsor some good prizes with Minch.
We have also restocked a fairly large order from Brouwland and added lots of new items to the site this week. We have stock arriving all the time now with several new items coming online over the next few weeks. As always if there is anything we are short on, just pop us an email and we can give details as to when it arrives.

I wasn't at Brewcon but was looking at the Hook Head malt during the week. What was the offer as a matter of interest? Will we be able to buy their malt if we didn't attend Brewcon?
Could I make a request for WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast, please & thanks.
WLP410 Belgian Wit II Yeast please. When do you think you will have it in?
Hi Shane,
I'll take one each of WLP500, WLP565 and WLP566.

Yes, we have it in stock and will put it on the site late next week, we are letting people who attended Brewcon have exclusive access for the first few weeks. Would appreciate reviews of it if anyone has used it, we will only be using it next week ourselves for the first time.
Oh and one more thing, we have knocked 20% off all our malt for the next few days:

We are upgrading the warehouse with new racking and would prefer if you guys would just buy all the grain rather than us having to move it about to facilitate this upgrade ;D ;D

Hi - your custom-build mash kit offer has an upper restriction on the amount of grain and hops, which is fair enough, but would you be open to making up smaller kits for stove-top brewing (say a half size kit for 10-12L).?

I second this! I do half batches too when I don't want to bottle a full batch or if it's a style I'm not sure I'll want a full batch of around. A half kit with both dry and liquid yeast options would be great.
Edit. Also an option with no yeast!
Your Maris Otter is out of stock on your site but you can still get multiples of the 10kg sacks of it. Will you have it back soon? Also is it MO blend or 100% MO?
Hi Shane,
Any idea when you'll be putting in a new order with White Labs?
I'm looking to request the European Ale yeast WLP011 if it's available, thanks.

Comet - Pellet Speaking to our hop supplier about these. He says that these are making a huge come back in the states and acreage has tripled in the last 2 years. Maybe one to watch.

QuoteQuoteAny news of the European Ale yeast WLP011? I didn't see it on the updated yeast list.
OOS this time, will try in 2 weeks again.
Sorry.
Thanks for the update, will pick up some WLP007 if it's out of stock again. Was a long shot, so no big deal.

The 25kg of Maris is also restocked now.
Sweet.
Will ye be getting the Muntons Maris Otter in again or sticking with the Crisp?
As Crisp agents in Ireland would you be able to get Chevallier malt as well?
One thing I've meant to mention about the site in terms of ordering is that I find when switching between menus and adding items that the basket seems to 'forget' what was in it, might be something to look at, as it lengthens the ordering process a good bit.
Lads, you getting StarSan again anytime soon?
Do you have spare caps for starsan bottles?
They fracture thereby exposing the starsan to the air.
The second cap fits the reservoir but then it fractures :-\
The caps fracture for me too. Very frustrating
The reason they snap guys is that you are probably getting Ss on them (I know) and they are degrading, other problem is over tightening they are a shitty and I suspect a brittle talc filled or Bakelite old style lid ,
I don't know why the manufacturers don't use HDPE aka coke bottles.

+1 Every bottle of StarSan I've ever bought has sheared like this. Just crappy caps.
However, they seem to have had a redesign. The latest bottle I bought has much chunkier caps, and include a child-proof feature like you see on medicine bottles.
Good stuff. I have loads left in my too-brittle-for-my-super-strength-hands bottle so it's an issue I'll have to deal with for a while yet.

I've only ever bought one jar of Star San over here (18 months ago) and it had that kind of cap on it. The ones I'd bought in the US all had them. Guess they're using them for all of them
Anyway I need some Star San!!!
Hi,
We don't have spare caps for the Star San, I will give the feedback though. New star san should be here tomorrow.
We have the Muntons Maris Otter back in now also - will put it on the site tonight.
We now also have extra light Maris Otter - will build it tonight.
Yeast bay is ordered - awaiting shipping confirmation.
Another white labs order going in if anyone has any requests.

Hi Shane, great to hear about the yeast bay order.
For the white labs order, it would be good to get the Flemish Ale yeast in again.
It's July, so could you put in an order for WLP540 Abbey IV Ale Yeast for me please & thanks.

Nice one. The keg dry hoppers are the business.
Lovely I could do with two dry hoppers :)
I might get a second dry hopper, they're great. Except if you forget to screw the lid on like I did a few weeks ago and gunk up your dip tube.

If you're using these for pellets how long do you leave them in the keg?
Until it tastes the way you want it to :)
I've only done it a couple of times so far but I've just left them till the keg kicked. Didn't get too grassy. In fact less grassy than some of my dry hopped in the fermenter beers.

Hi All,
Danstar Dried London ESB yeast now in stock:
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/danstar-london-esb-yeast-11g-p-4068.html
London ESB yeast was selected from the Lallemand yeast culture library towards producing a range of English-style ales exhibiting clean, well-balanced aromatic profiles with moderate alcohol production. London ESB offers the right fermentation and aromatic profiles suitable for Extra Special Bitter styles as well as Pale Ale, bitter and other traditional English beers.
Optimal Temperature Range: 18-22 C (65-72 F). Fermentation is generally completed in 3-5 days dependent on recipe and process conditions.
Attenuation range: 65-75%
Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent upon inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
Produces a clean, well balanced ale. Medium attenuation preserves some beer complexity. Best for well-balanced British style ales.

Capital Brewers require ~15 vials of Flemish Ale Blend (WLP665) for our next barrel project http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/index.php/topic,16555.0.html (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/index.php/topic,16555.0.html). I'm aware we have our club discount but would a bulk discount also be possible?
Thanks,

Would like to try the WLP920 please.
Another Vermont yeast please

Hi All,
We have some big news tonight. We have just got confirmation that our order for the new Grainfather plus new control box has been confirmed as packed. It should arrive to us either Friday this week or Monday next week. On the order we also have the New individual controllers which many of you have paid your deposits on. We have placed them on the site for pre-order with shipping starting next week.
Here's the nice bit. The new Grainfathers will be sent with both versions of the controller while stocks last (the old one could be repurposed as a fermentation temp controller) at no added cost. We have secured an exclusive deal on these for the Republic of Ireland. They will not be available in any other store!
There will be a limit to the ones with dual controllers!

Hey Will,
I don't think that there is an Android app yet (or if there is you may need to be added to the beta testers)
I got my controller yesterday but haven't had a chance to play around with it.
Will post to the equipment thread when I do.

Hi Shane,I don't know if you remember me but was on holiday in Clonard Co.Meath in August so I popped up to get a bag of your Minch Pale Malt which I must say apart from value for money was great to use.
Now that I have a few more brews under my belt and running very low I'm wondering what your recommendation would be as I do require another bag.

Irish Grown Wheat Malt World Exclusive!
A new Irish venture in malt is born!
We have been trialling this malt for a few months now, running it through its paces with many trials on many styles! The results have been spectacular. We are so proud to be the first to bring this to the market. This is not currently available to commercial brewers. We have managed to get our hands on a limited sample ahead of the official release!
We will only ask you to do one thing with this – Brew with it!
So to help get you brewing we have an exclusive offer. How does this sound:
5kg of Premium Irish Grown Malted Wheat for €1
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/minch-irish-grown-wheat-malt-5kg-p-777.html
How to purchase:
Just purchase through the website via the link above along with your order. This offer is restricted to one per customer. Offer ends Sunday 20th November or as long as stocks last.
Backround
Minch Malt brings for the first time in Ireland, 100% Irish Wheat malt. Wheat grown in Ireland and malted at their maltings in Athy, Co.Kildare, Ireland.
Irish wheat yields are on average the highest in the world, driven by higher rainfall, mild winters and long cool summer days that help grain filling. That means one thing, big on extract coupled with head performance.
HOW IT IS MADE
A first for Ireland, 100% Irish grown wheat is malted on the Boby malting plant to produce unique small batch Irish Wheat Malt. Wheat Malt is made with a similar malting process to malting barley. Slightly shorter steeping time as the wheat does not contain its husk, and therefore absorbs water at a quicker rate to allow for germination. Germination takes place at high moisture content to allow for higher modification of the malt.
TYPICAL PROFILE
3-5 EBC. Protein imparts pleasant full mouth feel and improved head stability. Wheat Malt can be added in small amounts to Ales or Lagers to improve head retention and it is the core ingredient for Wheat Beers.
TYPICAL BEER STYLES
Wheat Beers / Weizen, Ales, IPA, American Pale Ale, Porter.
TYPICAL USAGE RATES
3-6% for head retention, 40-70% for wheat beers addition to mash tun with base malts. Similar gelatinisation temperature to pale malt.

I ordered from HBC then discovered that nobody was home to accept delivery.
DPD now allow collection at a number of locations instead, so I opted for this.
Validation is dependent on the barcode and then a PIN code that is texted to the customer.
Unfortunately the barcode was unreadable so this caused some confusion.
If process was followed, the agent (Costcutter Carrigtoohill) should not have handed over the package.
Thankfully I'm a charmer and look somewhat honest so retrieved the package.
To Shane & Co., please pay attention to the label as this could impact on delivery.
Other than this, service is top-notch, thanks!

Hi Will,
We have submitted the number we require and we are on the list but they are way short on numbers to grow it up right now. Should they hit the number, we will be notified and will get our allocation.
Shane
I can appreciate their logic about waiting for a minimum order for specialty yeasts. They need to print the product labeling/packaging etc and market a Big batch.
However, Why not we contact them as a beta test site?
We are after all a significant band of cider makers with medals to prove it (proctored by pro cider makers)
After all they may not have used this yeast themselves in any great numbers of real world field trials.
Yes, beta testers will regrow and give the yeast away to mates but hey this is what we do anyways!
Unfortunately we probably need to wait till next autumn to test a new cider yeast - unless we use Lidl AJ
Hi all,
White labs have landed:
Brought in a new one also:
WLP095 Burlington Ale Yeast.
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/white-labs-wlp095-burlington-ale-yeast-p-4150.html
This yeast has proven to be great in IPAs. This is a great yeast for people who like WLP001 California Ale Yeast because this yeast throws a little personality and body into your beer. Esters are higher than WLP001. This yeast has been known to result in more diacetyl so increasing the temperature at the end of fermentation is suggested.
This is our last white labs order till next year so if are brewing over Christmas we are now fully restocked with all strains.

Shane

Hi Lads,
One of our more common email queries now regards the supply of CO2 for homebrewers. We don't stock it. Is there or can we get a list of regional suppliers that are friendly to the homebrewing community. Presently we are trying to source a supplier in the Mayo region for one of our customers?
Thanks,
Shane
Hi Shane, I live in mayo and spent ages trying to track some down. The best options I found were aj edge will ship a 2.5kg but its expensive. Iedepot will ship anywhere in Ireland or if you have a local welding supplier who buys from stargas they can order it for you, but you could be waiting a few weeks if it has to be part of their next shipment.
I hope this helps.
Hello Shane. We use hobbyweld from kws in Portlaoise. They have a food grade co2. There is a gas bottle rental charge on the first cylinder. Then just a refill charge each time you need a new one. They keep a decent stock. Or at least they have now since we started using them a few years ago.

How much are they for a refill? If I have an AJ tank, would they refill that?
They only refill their own tanks. For a 9 litre gas tank they charge approx €50. Can't remember what the rental charger is but it's more than a hundred euros I know that much.

iedepot do something similar, they also stock mixed gas: https://www.iedepot.ie/beer-and-food-gases
I haven't been in contact with these guys, but they might be a source: http://thebarcompany.ie/product-category/draught-beer-equipment/regulators-gas/
I got a tank off that crowd in Galway http://thebarcompany.ie/product-category/draught-beer-equipment/regulators-gas/
80 euro deposit and 50 for the fill. Not sure why their site says its only 60 euro. Apparently they have mixed gas as well.

Does he only do his own tanks? How much for a fill?
I got a tank with removed dip tube from him and when I need a refill he just drops me in another and takes away my empty, if he has a connector for your tank I don't think it'll be an issue. If you'd like his details just drop me a PM :)
Please be careful not all co2 is food grade, I have smelled a tank that AJ had in and had a right stink in it.

No I didn't say that

Law last year was changed and extinguishers are checked now every 3 years.
Tanks that need replenishment or topped up form a big part of their business. They are seeing more and more Chinese tanks, and it was one of these that had the odd smell.
The smell could have come from the co2 or more likely the oil used to form the Alu tank.
I was told a homebrewer came in complaining that their beer tasted odd since they went to Co2 from a tank the homebrewer brought in originally. He subsequently bought a new tank from them and no problem since, so there are dodgy ones out there.
My advice is if you have been given a cylinder spray a small amount on a clean cloth and smell any residue.
DO THIS IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM
Airproducts supply AJs gas and after them regularly go into Bmers in Clonmel.
Thanks for the clarification
Just to add to CH's warning, make sure you have windows open or better still do the test outdoors. Co2 will displace the oxygen in a room and you need that to stay alive.

Pretty sure thats just another myth, Brulosophy did a test where his testers were given normal air and 100% CO2 and he didn't get a high enough P value to prove that breathers could tell the difference.
Sorry Qs not sure you got that right can you post a link to that experiment as I will take it up directly with him.
Co2 is a killer there have been several brewery deaths in the US and even one in Carlsberg in the UK last year and that's just the brewing industry.
I have first hand experience from the dizziness from it and it needs to be treated like a toxic gas,with upmost care in confined spaces.
If you really want to see how it would affect you it's the method of choice used by abattoirs for slaughtering pigs, warning link is graphic.

Hope so.
SA I'm sure can give us a greater insight into full dangers but speaking from personal experience, scared the shit out of me.

I'd say Qs was joking CH!
Yeah. Sorry CH I'll mark it with a *joke* tag in future. :P
I was venting kegs last week before cleaning and I stood outside in the rain for each one. I wondered was I mad but this conversation makes me feel like I was right.
Sent from my phone, please excuse the typos.
Another time I stupidly had a keg full and lifted it up to look straight in and got a co2 wash, not pleasant.
Every now and then I stick my head over an open fermenter to check for infections etc and give myself a right shot of co2 in the nose. Man does it hurt!
How long is the grain/hop sale for Shane?
@homebrewcompany - is there any chance you'd consider reviewing your prices and being a little more competitive against geterbrewed? Ignoring any promotions/discounts, right now I'm looking to order a grain kit which comes in at €11 on their site whereas it would cost €22.50 with your flat rate. Taking another example 100g of Citra with you is €8.95 whereas it's €7.19 with them.
There's a reason I'd rather go with you guys and that's that your service is better, if the premium you're charging is down to this then fair enough. Just might be good to review where possible, especially the grain kits.
Wow big difference can you post the links
Quote from: CH on January 19, 2017, 11:46:31 AM

(again, without current promotions, if you take those into account the difference is even bigger)
HBC Citra 2015 [€8.95]: http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/citra-pellets-usa-100g-vac-packed-alpha-acid-134-2015-harvest-p-3458.html
GEB Citra 2015 [€7.19]: [competitor link removed]
Plug this recipe into GEB's recipe builder and it comes approx €18: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/442540/hoppy-saison-2-vienna-
Same with HBC would be €26 with liquid yeast. This would be a common 20L recipe, the example I posted in the previous post (€12 vs €22.50+) was a high gravity half batch I'm looking to do.

The set price for the custom build mash kit is off putting alright, especially if I was making something relatively cheap like an Irish stout. This is not a dig, just would rather deal with HBC if possible.
Ok so it's not €22.50vs 11?
It's 26vs 18 yeah but liquid yeast is €8 so that's the same no?
Good call on the hops tho and it's even cheaper than you posted it's 5.94
Suspect all HBS should be clearing their 15 about now.

For the original example it is. Also the 26 vs 18 are both with liquid yeast.
When I click the links geterbrewed doesn't work and HBCs Citra is €7.16.
Also from my experience I'd definitely pay more for hops from HBC than GEB. Far fresher.

It's €8, but that's a 44% differential
That's worth talking about.
Any idea when 2016 hops harvest will be for sale?
(sorry if quesition was already asked, I had a quick read back up the thread and didnt see it)
Thanks in advance.
They've got some in the leaf section. Only a handful but hopefully a sign that more are on the way.
Any idea how long the Grainfather sale is on for? Hoping to make it to payday.
Would be very good to get the timelines on the 2016 hops, as otherwise I'm just going to order from the States. They're really late appearing on the market this year here.
Are the in the UK yet?
Hi,
Any idea when you are getting the FermTech Auto Siphon in stock again? http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/fermtech-large-autosyphon-p-3942.html
My current siphon is bubbling like crazy and letting O2 in and need a quality replacement, as it's not fit for purpose.
+1 on the autosyphon.
Same there need good auto siphon.
There is a decent one from Canadian manufacturer fermtech, I chucked that cheapo Italian one I had.
Give them all a good rinse after SS and shake dry otherwise Polycarbonate will stress crack
I have silicone tubing on mine as that flexible PVC is tricky to manage
Yeah I just ordered two of the Fermtech ones from Amazon as there was no response here. They look the business.

£33 for two with P&P. Had to really scroll down to find that price though :/
Yeah found a cheaper one and then the postage was nuts.
Hi All,
Apologies we have been absent for a while. We were short staffed all January so did not get near the forum. If anything we did not want to promote anything else outside of our January sale as we got hammered for the whole month with orders. Anyway we are back to full capacity now kind of.
I see a few queried re pricing of hops. The hops are sold at a set margin sometimes we pay more sometimes we pay less but the price reflects what we pay. We are very rarely sold out of many types these days as we are now supplying countless breweries across Ireland and Europe. To that end you are always guaranteed stock that is constantly turning over. We don't offer smaller or larger packs than the standard 100g as to do so would compromise on the quality. We open and vacuum pack the whole bag once open. Constantly opening and closing bags of hops to get units as low as a few grams is not good.
On the flipside if you look at our grain prices and compare to what is out there I believe that we are well below anything out there price wise. We will not be the cheapest on everything but I'm sure we offer value if you look across our full product range. Again with our grain we buy in bulk with constantly rotating stock, we bring in around 30 tonnes every 2 months so freshness is guaranteed. Best, Muntons and Minch come direct from the malster whereas we co-ordinate directly with the Weyermans and Castle distributors in Ireland so again freshness is guaranteed in all areas.
What's new, we had a large order of fresh white labs arrive this week, our largest yet! We added this month's platinum strains:
WLP022 Essex Ale Yeast
WLP410 Belgian Wit II Ale Yeast
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/yeast-white-labs-liquid-yeast-beer-c-62_183.html
Our 2016 harvest is a bit slower to come in this year, we have some crops in with lots more arriving over the next two weeks.
In other big news we are now offering exclusively in Ireland Fully Refurbished Corny Kegs. These are like new, have to be seen to be believed:
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/a-fully-refurbished-second-hand-corny-keg-19lt-ball-lock-grade-a-p-4210.html
I will get some pics up of these later for anyone interested?
The price on these is slightly higher than those of the second hand kegs but these are good to go and look smashing.
On the autosyphons, that is just a case of bad timing on our behalf, we will restock but it will be a few weeks. If ye have a request can people email us directly as we do not get onto the forum as much as we would like these days.
Cheers,
Shane

Some images of the new secondhand kegs. We would like to offer 4 of these to raffle off to club members. All we ask is the club run the raffle and pick the winners. We will send out 1 keg to each of the 4 winners. Hope this is ok?

Hi all,
Looks like we had good response on the keg raffle. Sorry we don't have free kegs for everyone, thanks for the response. For those that did not win we would like to give ye the chance to get your hands on one at a discounted rate. We would like to offer €7.50 off the kegs by way of a voucher for the National Homebrew Club members. The voucher cannot be used with the club discount code and will only be for orders with a refurbished keg in it. Only works off one keg per order. Will run the code till the end of the month, so 28/02/17.
Use code:
nhckeg
all small letters.
Hope some of ye get to use it. They really are top notch kegs.

We are adding new harvest hops all the time, we added quite a few Southern Hemisphere as well as some US hops last night:
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/products_new.html
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=2016&autocomplate_id=&search_in_description=1
We have lots more to add just trying to get the time. We have all the above Southern Hemisphere 2016 hops in leaf also, just trying to find time to build them all.
We should be adding more 2016 as the week progresses.

Hi,
We have just received another full load of fully refurbished kegs. We were able to negotiate a better price as a once off on this load. For this weekend only or as long as stocks last we have a special offer on these kegs. These are fully refurbished Cornelius kegs. This is the lowest price you will ever get one of these kegs for. You will not tell them from new!
Kegs are washed (inside, outside), polished (outside), (inside the keg is immaculate), pressure tested, with an air pressure valve, plastic lid feet new and new gaskets (one big o-ring and two posts gaskets). Like new. Ready to use!

We are toying with the idea of stocking Wyeast liquid yeasts. Would there be interest. Strains are here:
https://wyeastlab.com/beer-strains
https://wyeastlab.com/wild-sour-strains
https://wyeastlab.com/private-collection
We would appreciate any feedback and also what strains would you like us to stock?
Cheers,
Shane
Well there'd be a lot of demand for 1318 anyway.
3711 will be popular as well. I don't think there is a close White Labs match.
I reckon the below would all sell very well
1318 London Ale III
3711 French Saison
3763 Roselare Blend
They seem to take off better in a starter than the White Labs products as well. The private collection look pretty interesting as well.
1272 American Ale II is one I use all the time.

Is that different to WLP051?

Technically the same, but I swear it reacts differently when I use it. There's a lot more sulphur off 051 for me and 1272 seems a bit fruitier. Only way to be sure would be to do a side by side.
Yeah wyeast would be better for certain styles

Interesting. I get that sulphur from 051 too. Be interested to try the wyeast version. I've heard their Kolsch yeasts differ too so I'd also try that.
1318 - great yeast - very nice for ales with body and a little sweetness.
2206 - for lagers/helles.
Edinburgh is nice for malty ales.
I hear 1469 Yorkshire is very good too but I've never tried it.
I really like the smackpack - you can see if the yeast is alive. Sometimes with WhiteLabs, it feels like russian roulette - will the fermentation start or won't it? I think with WL, you have to make a vitality starter just to be sure. With Wyeast, the smackpack tells you.
Recently tried White Labs WLP017 from you - I really like this yeast but it's from the vault which is a pain.
Also had a recommendation for WLP835 Bavarian, but again from the vault.
Probably no need to carry a huge range - a half dozen or so of the more popular would be a great start.
Hi All,
Sorry, was away on Hols for past 3 weeks. Thanks for all the feedback on the Wyeast. Will try get them sorted/ ordered this week when I get everything up to date. Going back into White labs also this week, any last minute requests, might be tonight, so hurry.
Added a few new things to the site today including Oxygen Scavenging Crown Caps:

Hi,
We removed the discount as it was messy and actually set the grain prices to what the discounted price was so it is still the same low price without showing the discount. I will build the bigger bags of Golden Promise and Mild ale this weekend. Is there anything else anyone would like to see in larger quantities?

I think its safe to say there would be a lot of interest on cryo hops (obviously depeding on price ☺)
Ditto, I have my latest recipe on hold as Cryo Citra isn't available here yet, so timing couldn't be better for me
I'd buy Cryo hops. They're currently about £6 from the English sites. Would rather buy off HBC.

For sure. I'm looking for Mosaic and Galaxy Cyro right now for a recipe as it turns out. Think YCH sells them in bulk.
big interest here for them too

Hi All,
We have had a few calls with regards to a fire at our premises at the weekend. To put everyone's mind at ease we can confirm that we are not burnt to the ground.
We had a fire in our warehouse on Saturday. The fire started outside warehouse one and did also get inside. We cannot comment of the nature of the fire at this time but for the time being we have closed access to this warehouse as a safety precaution. We are actively working on getting this back up to standard. We have people on it since Saturday.
We have lost a little stock but it is confined to that area. The lost was not significant and will not impact on overall stock selections. It was a proportion of stock on display with the majority of everything stored in warehouse two and three. We are operating as normal and internet orders are going out without any delays. We have warehouse two fully functioning beside this and we are operating the shop and orders from warehouse three until warehouse one is fixed up. This is located across the road from the shop.
If you wish to collect an order there will be no issue. The handiest thing to do is place it through the site and add your preferred time for collection in the notes. If you wish to call to the shop, please pop over to the warehouse directly across from the shop, Unit 5. Everything on the site is available.
We will update you when the old walk in shop is back up and running. We have had to switch around wholesale orders based on what was damaged so please be patient as we restock everything. We have pallets due this week and next week and more to come the following week. We thank you for your custom as always and hope ye are not put out too much.
PS This is the last day of the January Sale.
Shane.
Sorry to hear this Shane.
Most important is that there was no injury.
Best of luck getting up to speed again.
(No jokes about smoked malt...)
Glad to hear the damage isn't too bad. Best of luck getting fixed up.
+1 on hearing no one was injured.
Ordered Friday morning, received Monday morning, that's even more impressive with a fire thrown in too!
True professionals.
Hope everything gets back bigger and better then ever.
Sorry to hear about your troubles but glad to hear how you've soldiered on regardless!

Grainfather Conical and Glycol chiller
Just to give you an update on these. We're expecting the first shipment of them both to be here towards the end of next week, week after latest. These are the most up to date model and have been fully tested before release. We will be offering these exclusively in Ireland.
They will now come as standard with the conical coat (similar to the Grain Coat but comes in two pieces which wrap around the internal cooling jacket and cone to reduce condensation & insulate the heating cavity around the cone) and 3L of glycol – 2 of which will be required initially leaving 1l for top ups when required.
I should have pricing through this week also. Let us know if there is any interest in these and we will see what we can do for ye. I'll try get some pics also.

Probably not, the demand is not there for yeast bay.

Hi Shane,
No one gallon country wine kits! How am I to make my vintage port?
Any idea when new stock is expected?
Will
After a lot of checking it looks like no HB shops here or in UK have any stock of either Muntons or Youngs. This is serious :(
Interest piqued!
What's this vintage port, and I second Will's request for gallon country wine kits!
Here are our demands! 1 gallon wine kits for the masses or all out revolution.
Quote from: Tom on October 31, 2019, 08:11:51 PM

Take a 5 gallon red wine kit add 1 extra kilo of sugar (so either 5 kgs if using a cheap tin or just 1 if using a no sugar kit) and a can of a country wine (don't add the flavour sachets at this time) Aim for an OG of around 1.120 or so. Pitch with Alcotec 22% high alcohol yeast. Ferment for a few weeks then check gravity. Probably be below 1.000 Add a tin or two of country wine kits. Ferment and check. You are aiming for the magic "22" tha'ts 22% ABV and a FG of 1.022 (same as commercial port) Add the flavour packs and wait a month and thats it.
Typical flavours I use would be: Blackberry, Black Cherry and Elderberry
Takes about 3 months, a lot of ingredients but you have just made 450 yoyos of port!!

They ran into a problem with EU regulations about importing chemicals. I'm not sure if they've given the exact details.

Thanks for the input Pheel. this is my first brew so I never used Starsan, but i have seen many a youtube vid and it looked super foamy. Chemsan says self foaming, so i was thinking i should see something. I'll mix up a little more and shake the heck out of it.

Yep their website says so
I just took delivery of a bag of malt today from them. Shane did speak to one of our members and said he was flat out so orders are a little slower than normal to get out the door. Keep that in mind
I had emailed them to confirm and they are still open. essential to the mental health of the people
Hi Guys,
We're sorry, but we have made the decision to temporarily suspend taking orders on our websites until further notice. We've taken this difficult decision in order to allow us to clear our existing order backlog due to the overwhelming demand and sheer volume, whilst maintaining our usual high standards, and importantly, protecting the health and safety of our team. Any order placed before the shutdown will be dispatched.
We hope to be back in the next few days.
Thank you for your patience
Shane
Thanks for keep us all stocked up as long as possible. Appreciate it.
Hey Shane,

No they've stopped taking orders again now but when they were taking orders last week, I couldn't see the all grain kits.
Maybe you should try contact them directly rather then waiting for a response here. I'm sure they are far too busy to be checking in on this forum every day.
Are The Homebrew Company still offering a discount for NHC members? Does anyone know where I would find the discount code?
Sure are.
