| Free hops to collect - Scotland Central Belt - Now offering postage (details in post #6) Posted: 05 Jun 2021 06:42 PM PDT The very generous Dave Lannigan at Ride Brewing Co has offered up some spare hops for collection, these are whole leaf hops. I've already filled all that I could from the kind offer from Glasgow home brewers facebook group. Dave apparently has more and has offered for me to collect them. Now I already have plenty but if there were takers from Central Scotland that would like some free whole leaf hops then I'd be willing to collect a few bales and if you brought your own containers you could...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:05 PM PDT I think, in fact I know I am not the only member here who does a bit of cycling, maybe not all as obsessed as myself but nevertheless I thought anyone with an interest could post pictures of your bikes, it doesn't have to be an £10k super bike as long as you enjoy riding it, perhaps with a little bit about it or how you enjoy cycling. So I have a few bikes and here is a handful of them.......... First my pride and joy the Ridley Noah SL, this aero bike took me to 10 race wins last year and... Show us your Pushbikes |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:02 PM PDT If you've made a few kits and/or extract brews, why not have a go at a simple AG brew, to see the difference it makes? A small batch of AG beer is not difficult and you will discover the difference and feel the joy and pride of making it from scratch. All you need for 5 litres is 1kg of Maris Otter, or other pale malt, a packet of hops, and a sachet of yeast. You just need a thermometer, a decent sized pan and something to strain the grain from the wort. A big sieve, or a piece of cloth in a... Have a go at simple AG |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:49 PM PDT I'm going to brew a Greg Hughes' Amarillo single hop. The recipe calls for Amarillo with 5% alpha acid. With the following additions. 54g - 70 mins 27g - 15 mins 27g - 5 mins 83g - 0 mins giving 40 IBU. However, the Amarillo I have has an alpha acid of 8.6% if I use the same additions it gives about 69 IBU which is really not the same beer. I was thinking use fewer hops at the start of the boil and more towards the end of the boil to keep the bitterness around 40 and compensating... Adjusting amount of hops. |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:18 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! |
| Which movie(s) have you watched recently? Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:15 PM PDT I'm a bit of a cinephile, movies are probably my second love after brewing, I have a "watchlist" which is almost as long as my "brewlist" and I try to watch a couple of films off it each week. I'm always open for suggestions and love hearing what people have watched recently, what their opinion was and why. With such a melange of people on the forum I'm sure I'm not the only one, so what are you watching, or have you watched recently? I'll go first, last night I watched... Which movie(s) have you watched recently? |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:02 PM PDT I thought I would start one of these posts to document my journey from kit brewer to all grain. I'm going out will also encourage me to blog more frequently. |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:51 PM PDT I fitted a plastic tap to the FV three brews ago, it is now leaking (thankfully I just bottle this morning so it only has water in it) Can anyone recommend a decent reliable tap I could replace it with - I do like the tap for bottling, far better than the siphon) |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:26 PM PDT Hi all, Don't know if this has been done by anyone on the forum but I'm planning to try and get a brew close to salopian lemon dream. Looking at descriptions it's an English wheat beer hopped with cascade, saaz, goldings and organic lemon. This is the recipe so far. Og: 1.045 Fg: 1.010 4.6% ibu: 31.6 Mash @ 64°c yeast: m36 liberty bell Malt 3kg pale maris otter 1kg wheat malt Hops 60 min 9g cascade (11ibu) 9g goldings (7ibu) 30 min 9g saaz (3.9 ibu) 12g...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:26 PM PDT Well it's been a long time coming due to other commitment, but today I finally did my third AG brew (woo Hoo). It was a day of 'firsts':

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT I guess I'm quite lucky with my water living near Burton-On-Trent and getting Burton water. This often leads to very little or no water adjustments according to the usual calculators for alot of the beers I brew. However sometimes they come up with very small additions, like today - 0.6g of Calcium Chloride, 0.15g of Gypsum. I only had Gypsom so put some of that it, but it was tiny in 24 litres of water. I realise these numbers are arithmetically calculated so a number would be spitted out... Water adjustments |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 12:33 PM PDT Hello from the very sunny south coast, Just done my first kit - Wilko's Rose. Did this one mainly to see how to start off and because higher authority loves Rose! Got all the bits from Wilko and followed the instructions to the letter Have to leave it now for 3 days before adding anymore water. Lets see how it goes |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 12:21 PM PDT When i bought keg kit it came with a party tap, the beer line is i think 3/16th from the disconnect to a connecter with about 4'' of 3/8th to the tap, i have played around with it and made 3/16th bit shorter down to 2 meters and it poured fine for 3 glasses at 2 to 3 psi then flat as a pancake i turned it up to 10 psi no joy, my question is is the 3/8th making it lose all the pressure to get a head on the beer, all help appreciated |
