| Posted: 21 May 2021 05:39 PM PDT So started this journey at the end of Feb and enjoying it. Yesterday was a busy day. Brew 4 was bottled and number 5 in the fermenter @ 18.5C. To date. Pilgrims hope. 40 pints Cwtch 36 pints MJ juicy session IPA 40 pints MJ American pale ale 40 pints Courage Director's. So far PH has a very slight yeast finish. Cwtch is very nice as is the MJ juicy IPA. Friends that have tried them have all been impressed so far. The MJ APA bottling dregs tasted very nice so high hopes for that one... 5th batch on. |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 05:23 PM PDT Hello all I have just started home brewing as a hobby since recent retirement from work. I worked all my life for BT in telecom engineering. I have much to learn and have just made my first brew from a kit yesterday and this morning heard the nice sound of bubbling in the airlock. I'm looking forward to hearing from some of you and hope you can help me along the way. Will check in soon. Cheers  |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 04:13 PM PDT Have done 16 AG brews on my homebrew journey, with 6 of these being dry hopped, have been using Supermarket re-usable veg bags but find cleaning them a real pain trying to remove all traces of crud etc when i have bottled the brews. Does anybody know if there is a supplier who makes a large scale Stainless Steel tea strainer type thing or a hop spider with a lid that screws on/off. |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 03:35 PM PDT Hi folks , could anyone tell me if this brew is infected , it's a Wilko's lager kit with added hop pellets , it smells lovely , but looks dodgy to me , any advice ? |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 03:05 PM PDT As title suggests I'm brewing the Shipyard Rye Pale Ale which is version though still a bit higher in the ABV this time I have all 5 hops which I know as I got it direct from Maine themselves. First proper brew in a while and already winging with water as I'm only back from work and it's going to be a while. Water additions for now then get the grains sorted and hopefully water will be up to temp. |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 02:34 PM PDT MJ Irish red ale bottled today, and MJ juicy session brewed   also just ordered a coopers premium Irish stout. IM HOOKED  |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 02:32 PM PDT Afternoon everyone! This is my first attempt at a beer kit and I'm at the carbing stage just now, 6 days in. The bottles are very firm, almost solid, so the demerara sugar priming is doing its thing. I've read many threads on here with hints and tips for these kits but I don't think I've seen anything on the question that I have.... The instructions say to transfer the bottles to a cool, dark place for clearing after a week - what is 'cool'? Not in a fridge I assume - that would be 'cold'... The Range MYO Irish Stout |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 02:11 PM PDT Hi, I have read on here about transferring the beer from the fermenting bucket once it has reached its final gravity to another bucket before barreling or bottling, what does this do to the beer and how long should it be kept in the 2nd bucket. |
| Keggorator newb - carbonation and foaming issues Posted: 21 May 2021 02:07 PM PDT So I've built myself a kegorator with a second hand fridge. Its made up from a soda stream bottle, a 5ltr mini keg (a proper one rated to 60psi and not one of the low pressure cask things), a flow control ball lock valve on the keg, and, in accordance with the usual beer line balancing charts about 10ft/3mtrs of beer line upto the tap, which is NOT a flow control tap. Beer has been at 12 psi at 5 degrees C for a good week or so, so should be optimally carbonated for an IPA by now. But when... Keggorator newb - carbonation and foaming issues |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:59 PM PDT Odd one this... My iSpindel seems to have lost the plot a bit... Previous brew was perfect with iSpindel reporting accurately and reliably throughout. Next brew and the OG seemed realistic (should've compared with a manual reading in hindsight) but it soon went off the rails and the SG went from 1.060 to 1.010 in about 12 hours before continuing on to .997 before I removed it from the FV. A quick float in water reports .998 so it's as if it's lost all the good calibration work I originally... iSpindel Lost Accuracy |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:59 PM PDT I'm going to upgrade my brewing experience by moving away from my kettle elements in a plastic fv biab which will become my HLT to a 50ltr s/s mash/boil pot, brew in a basket. All under the watchful eye of a control panel. I'll be brewing in the garage, as oppose to outside the garage, and I'm limited to 3kw. I want to install a switch that will stop me accidentally having the hlt and boiler on at the same time. The boiler element is 3 1kw elements in one, all will be separately controlled... Control panel help please. |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:50 PM PDT Going to attempt a beer with no dry hop is it going to be a disaster 15g simcoe 60 min 15g galaxy 60 min 20 g of each 30 min 30 g of each 5 min Any ideas |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:37 PM PDT Just got an email which days B2B are adding bar snacks. I'm all for a good pork scratching/pork crunch with a homebrew. I think they have found a great market for adding these to the list what do you guys think? Even if its add a few just to get the free p&p it definitely has to be a good move adding bar snacks right? |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:12 PM PDT OG was 1.060 and it's been 3 days in FV seems unusually slow to ferment. I've done this recipe before so it seems odd. Has anyone found the tilt to be unreliable or could there be something else. |
