Cask to corny keg Posted: 19 Jun 2021 04:14 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm looking to "save" some un drunk ale from a cask. Is it possible to transfer any left over from a party at the end of the night to a corny keg or something similar so it can be consumed at a later date?

Vegetarians and Vegans Posted: 19 Jun 2021 03:00 PM PDT Why are Vegetarians accepted for what they are yet Vegans seem the butt of many jokes and are seen by some as nothing more than bandwagon jumping attention seekers, i don't know any vegans but did know one vegetarian many years ago who stooped eating meat as in his view killing animals to eat them is cruel, he did wear leather due to the fact the animals are killed for food not for their skin.

Big Lamp Bitter recipe Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:41 PM PDT I'm thinking of making this beer and dug out my 1998 edition of GW brew your own beer book. I brewed this back in 2001 using his recipe with extract. From memory it was a very nice beer. I was scaling down the recipe in brewers friend to make a 10l batch and I was not getting anywhere near the EBC stated (closer to 6 than the stated 16 EBC) so I started googling for any recipies. The recipe I have notes (for 23l): 3.7kg Pale malt 195g crystal 80g fuggles @60 mins 15g Golding's @15 mins... Big Lamp Bitter recipe

Lalbrew London..again Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:02 PM PDT Hello all I've got a Fivepoints bitter clone lined up and was planning on using the above mentioned yeast. Mash temp for recipe is 67c but I'm wondering, with that temp there'll be more unfermentable sugars and combined with the London attenuation, typical fg 1.020,what that will result in? Should I adjust the mash temp or change yeast or just go with it?

It's going to be a busy day today!! Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:00 PM PDT My plan is to brew tomorrow, but first there's a bit of work to do. 1st job is make a couple of holes in what's going to be my mash tun/boil kettle, one for a 50mm tri-clamp, and the other for a thermowell. Bit worried because it's a bit thicker than the q-max cutters say they can handle. Got to cut a 16mm hole first to take the bolt of the 48mm cutter. Next job is cut an 18mm by 70mm slot to take a 2100w washing machine element in what will be my hlt. In my head, none of that should be too... It's going to be a busy day today!!

Single infusion vs Step Mash Posted: 19 Jun 2021 01:46 PM PDT If I only had the ability for single infusion mash. Would this suffice regardless of what the recipe method I was following called for?

Keezer project Posted: 19 Jun 2021 01:39 PM PDT Managed to pick up a free chest freezer from my good mate, his mom was getting rid after a new fridge freezer purchase. As it going in the spare room upstairs, this makes more sense than the 6ft larder fridge I had seen locally cheap. SWMBO would have gone mad if that turned up been used but still had the clear plastic protector on. internal dimensions are 45.5cm x 45.5 cm and 2 of my kegs together are 46 cm, might give the...

Another elderflower champs thread... Posted: 19 Jun 2021 01:31 PM PDT Hiya Last year I made some sparkly elderflower, I was pretty pleased with it. I essentially made the wine and let it finish but not clear and added priming sugar. It was good but this year I would like more fizz. I added dextrose at a rate of 17g/l which is what I believe they use for the methode champenoise. I have seen recipes which state to bottle at 1.010 which equates to about 30g/l of sugar. Does anybody have any experience of how bottling whilst still fermenting Vs priming at... Another elderflower champs thread...

What did you brew today? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:56 PM PDT Some people may not want to write out a full brewday report but just say what they brewed. So what did you brew today? I made a 'bit's and bobs stout' to use up the odds and ends of grain I had

Covid the jab and the final stage. Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:38 PM PDT SWMBO is a front line worker (carer) she has had the first jab and is now tested twice a week she also has the lateral flow test with the results showing 30 minutes after the test whenever she goes to work on the other days, there are no cases of Covid where she works and there hasn't been for quite a while. I am hoping as a front line worker my turn will come soon my age will also help, its not often i am glad i am an old fart.

What have you been smoking on bbq? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:37 PM PDT Last thing I did was hickory smoked chicken drumsticks: Post you efforts here?

Grainfather Connect Controller Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:37 PM PDT I managed to bet hold of a Grainfather Connect Controller to upgrade my Grainfather .it only managed to get to 99° never 100° albeit was a rolling boil but not as vigerous as it was with the old controller . I am only 200m above sea level so was expecting it to hit 100° . Is it normal for the connecf to have a slightly less vigerous rolling boil and not hit 100° .

Going Large - Today's the Day Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:31 PM PDT I realise this is a home brew forum, but thought it might be interesting to post about my latest adventure. Myself and a couple of associates here in Austria have been homebrewing for a while now, sharing our beers among ourselves and friends. We decided during COVID lockdown that we're going to have a go at doing something commercial. The key question is how? We're not loaded enough to finance a craft brewery with all the equipment that entails. We also all currently have full time jobs... Going Large - Today's the Day

Late Hopping - advice needed please Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT My last brew had 5 gm summit hops boiled for 60 minutes, with 100 gm cascade hops for the last 2 minutes. Still short on aroma and overly bitter. Would removing the cascade hops at flameout help ? Is 100 gm enough ? (22 litre brew)

WiFi Temperature Probe and Controller with MQTT (maybe Inkbird) Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:12 PM PDT I'm looking to buy a temperature probe and controller, with Wifi. The Inkbird ITC-308 looks pretty much what I need! However, I have some additional requirements.... I'd like the device to include ability to send data via mqtt, or some other API protocol (JSON would be fine). If this is not possible, then at minimum, a browser based web page for viewing data. As far as I can see Inkbird only support their InkbirdSmart app on phones. I'd love to be told I'm wrong and the ITC-308 would... WiFi Temperature Probe and Controller with MQTT (maybe Inkbird)
