Wyeast best by date

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 07:18 PM PDT

bought a wyeast 1469 but instead of MFG date it now has a best by date. as i want to overbuild this yeast to keep some for next brew anyone know how to do this. The yeast build software i use has the option for mfg date to workout viability so how do i enter this using best by date?the date in question is 09/21 Wyeast say use within 6months but cannot except this as mfg date as this would mean yeast not being made yet!

Experiences with Wyeast 3068

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 07:08 PM PDT

I'm keen to hear if anyone has some experiences to share with Wyeast 3068 in a Hefeweizen.

A couple of weeks ago I brewed a Hefeweizen and pitched Wyeast 3068 from a smack pack. This is the first time I've ever used a liquid yeast.

Fermentation was for 12 days. Yeast pitched at 19c and fermentation around 22-23c. I was aiming to emphasise banana esters. The whole pack of yeast was pitched into 25 litres. Started at 1046 and finished at 1009 SG.

I kegged on Thursday, into a 19L Corney...

Step mashing

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 06:39 PM PDT

I have a big orange drinks cooler mash tun. I've used it very successfully for lots of AG mashes, but step mashing is hard as it involves hot water additions to get up to various temperatures.
So I wonder... Is it possible to start hotter and step down to different temperatures using cold water during the mash? Or does that somehow scupper extraction?
Thanks in advance

Retailers "own brand" kits

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 04:20 PM PDT

Hi all

Apart from the likes of love brewing's beerworks craft series kits and the bruphoria range from the homebrew company, does anyone know of other online shops selling similar kits?

Not looking for any inclusions of steeping grains or hops to boil, just plain old mix extract with water, ferment then dry hop when appropriate.

I've scoured the net but those two companies are the only ones I can see that fit the bill.

Cheers. Tom

Cushyno Brewdays etc..

It's maybe time to start my own brewday thread. Today I do my 15th all-grain brewday, and what better time to consider doing a write-up than when I'm already half way through. That'll probably be typical of how things will be around here - sporadic, messy and nonsensical.

So here goes...

It's roughly a Best Bitter by the numbers. And it's had 45 minutes in the mash tun. Time to remove the freshly poured Brown Porter (AG14), and get sparging under way.

Belgian hops?

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:54 PM PDT

I received a birthday present of 8 bottles or cans per month of world beers from Beer52 just as Covid started. Although I brew my own ale, I find it interesting to get beers I can't get locally delivered, and it makes me drink ale I wouldn't drink by choice.

This month is Belgian month, and in it is a Belgian IPA , its bloody lovely.

I think it's by Brouwerij Lekker, and it appears to be 50/50 pale and munich malt, with EKG, Merkur, greene bel, and challenger hops.

Home made pear syrup addition to TC..

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:41 PM PDT

Right, now I've done a few successful TC's after the first disastrous cider vinegar.....I'm thinking of making my own pear syrup from a basic recipe (1 cup pear cubes to 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water) and then adding it to my TC at the bottling stage.
Would I be right in saying that the sugar in the syrup will create the fizz?
Has anyone done this and how much should I add per bottle?
Depending on what I read a cup measure is around 125 to 200grams

4 grams of sugar to a teaspoon. so for...

Afternoon all,

Negligent of me not to have put this up before now, but here's my take on a straightforward 25L Apple Turbo Cider...

Give me a shout if I'm missed any bits out or if anything isn't clear, I knocked it up quite quickly !

Boiler query and recommendations for new equipment

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:09 PM PDT

Hi, I have a Ritchies boiler (quite old) upon which the thermostat failed quite a few years ago (probably around the time I stopped brewing - pics attached). Having gotten back into the habit, I'm looking at going from kits to try AG (I've been reading the excellent Clibit thread). I used to brew by boiling malt extract in the boiler with hops. I've been playing with the boiler and I can't get it to heat above about 85oC without the thermostat shutting off the element.

I'm contemplating...

Gelatin in FV?

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:09 PM PDT

I was thinking of trying Gelatin as and when needed and trying it in the FV, best technique I believe is to cold crash then add Gelatin (I understand how to mix it) then add to the FV and keep cold for another 48 hours.
The question I have though is will opening the FV and sucking air in to allow adding the gelatin cause any oxygenation problems for bottling?

Some people may not want to write out a full brewday report but just say what they brewed.

So what did you brew today?

Saucery - magic rock

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 02:05 PM PDT

Fave tipple at the moment and available from Tescos. For a sub 4% beer it really packs in flavour. it manages to balance the sweetness and juicyness with a touch a sour that works a treat.

There are a few hints on their website Saucery - Magic Rock Brewing


Anyone tried something inspired by it? I think acid malt balances out the sweetness from golden promise and the English yeast. Also they must use some...
