4 day bank holiday. Posted: 02 Jun 2021 05:35 PM PDT Queen's platinum jubilee to be marked with four-day bank holiday in 2022 (The Guardian) A four-day bank holiday weekend will mark the Queen's platinum jubilee next summer to celebrate the monarch's 70 years on the throne. National events will include a live concert featuring some of the world's biggest stars, a service of thanksgiving and, perhaps the Queen's own highlight, a day at the races. The 2022 break will run from Thursday 2 June until Sunday 5 June, with the... 4 day bank holiday.

The best of the best? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:29 PM PDT Fathers day is coming and I'll be asked what I want, I'm tempted by a two can/pouch kit. I have brewed AG for years. Eliminating the crazy over hopped IPAs what's the best of the best? Atb. Aamcle

Hazelwood Brewday Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:23 PM PDT I only joined the group a few days ago and today was my first brewday since joining so I thought I ought to give this a go - at least once. Starting with the crime scene, I revamped our garden a couple of years ago. My wife wanted decking, a gazebo, and comfortable seating, I wanted a bar, win-win! So this is where I also brew, at my bar, shown here in winter plumage (clear plastic PVC tarps fitted to two sides).

Bottling a Triple NEIPA Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:17 PM PDT Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow along. Ask me any questions! The picture is an undercarbed (4days 30mins in the freezer test PET bottle) sample of the beer and my god if it stays like this for 2 weeks with a little more carbonation I'm a happy boy!

Plastic coopers brown bottles , crap ? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:07 PM PDT I've had a few cartons of these over the years and I'm gonna chuck them now Never get cold enough and I often find the taste in them isn't up to scratch, getting the tips off about takes skin off me hands and need molegrips to take the damn things off More than enough bottles now and swing tops so it's adiós to them

What are you drinking tonight 2021? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:54 PM PDT Nothing for me i have work in the morning.

Victoria Plum Wine Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:48 PM PDT Hello all. We've inherited a large bag of Victoria plums and thought we may make wine from them (after cutting away the little wiggly things inside) Does anyone have a recipe for a medium to dry wine using these? Thanks in advance.

Conditioning blonde Ale Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:43 PM PDT Hi all My brother asked me to brew a beer especially for a "big weekend" we are having at his house. I made a blonde (my own recipe) with the following: 4kg maris otter 500g vienna 250g of oats CML general ale yeast Went in the fermenter last night and is now going great guns bubbling like crazy. However, this beer has to be ready for 26th june leaving me approx 3 weeks from bottling to drinking...is this enough and do you have any tips on how to maximise conditioning in this time... Conditioning blonde Ale

Beer is fermenting but gravity remains the same Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:30 PM PDT Reet, so I am fermenting an imp stout in a keg and using an iSpindel to record the gravity. The OG was 1.090 and fermentation started off well. When the blow-off tube stopped bubbling, the gravity was 1.030 and it is supposed to be 1.017. I raised the temp on Sunday and fermentation appeared to start up again. The blow-off tube was producing a bubble every ten seconds or so. However the gravity has barely changed. The lowest the iSpindel has reported is 1.028 but sometimes it says 1.030. I... Beer is fermenting but gravity remains the same

Overflow pipe. All in one. Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:22 PM PDT Hi everyone, I've bought a brewmonk all in one and want to brew at the weekend. This might be a stupid question considering the name overflow pipe but is liquid actually supposed to flow into the overflow pipe during the mash? The reason I ask is because in the manual it says adjust the telescopic overflow pipe to 3-4cm above the water volume. I've looked on YouTube and some have the liquid flowing into the pipe and others have it well above the water volume. Just wondering if anyone... Overflow pipe. All in one.

What did you brew today? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:41 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

What are People's Experiences of Using Windsor Yeast? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:41 PM PDT Just tried pitching Windsor for the first time on the understanding that it gives a good flavoured beer with low attenuation, but without leaving the beer tasting sweet. So I knocked up a pale ale with an OG of 1040 and pitched the yeast Sunday afternoon. Astonished to find the gravity had dropped to 1006 this morning, after only 2½ days. Mashed overnight at 66C- this may be a factor. Have checked hydrometer calibration. Pitched at 25C and brought temp down to 22C and then 19-20C The beer...

Grainfather equipment profile (brewfather) Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:38 PM PDT Hi Grainfather users, I've got a GF on the way, and I'm wondering about how accurate the default equipment profile is in Brewfather, and whether these numbers tally with peoples experiences with the GF: Boil off rate: 3 L/h (presumably this is without the graincoat. Does anyone adjust with the graincoat?) Dead space: 3.5 L (I believe this is the volume under and around the grain basket, not the irrecoverable volume that can't be transferred to the FV) Grain absorption: 0.8 L/kg Trub loss: 1L...

Vegan Mead for Wedding Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:37 PM PDT Does anyone here have enough to sell, or know where to get some from the UK, to cater for a small wedding? My friend ordered some from Germany for her wedding, but due to Brexit complications it was sent back and she's worried it may not get here in time. Wedding is in September.

Charging soda stream bottles Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:33 PM PDT I share a 6kg CO2 cylinder with a mate and we both have Sodastream bottles and want to recharge our Sodastream bottles from the big cylinder. We purchased the adapter but nothing seems to happen. The adapter has a straight through bore through the centre with no central pin to engage with the Sodastream valve so wonder if we've got the correct adapter? It has no screw thread so doesn't look like there are any components missing and they're both the later Sodastream bottles. We hook... Charging soda stream bottles

Adding hops to out of date lager Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:19 PM PDT Have got some out of date lager giving to me which is about 2-3 years old Have bought some hops and a net But haven't done this before Do I add the hops after about a week of fermenting and how much do I use and can it be reused Any advice would be great
