Fiery Ginger Beer

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 04:52 PM PDT

I`ve been wanting to get some alcoholic ginger beer on for a while - so as i was at a loose end today i brewed this (recipe from a previous forum thread with a few tweaks :twisted: )

Fiery Ginger Beer 5 gallons

1kg Fresh grated ginger
5tsp Dried ground ginger
1tsp Cream of tartar
2 lemons
2 limes
2.5kg Sugar
2tsp Yeast nutrient
1 sachet champagne yeast

Really quick and easy (and cheap) to do - ginger was donated so very cheap :party:

First i grated the...

New to homebrew, hate bottling. kegerator recommendations

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 03:31 PM PDT

Hey everyone,
I brewed my first batch a few weeks ago. It was a Saison that went down from 1.050 OG to 1.010 FG. Wanted a secondary with Bret so added honey (about 10 grav) and got to 1.004.
I really liked the whole process apart from, as many know, bottling. A fun mistake was spending a week thinking my FG was off as I didn't know to adjust based on ermented wort :)

My question is what would be some of the cheapest buys on amazon for a 2 or 3 keg fridge? that are not hot rubbish?
I...

Brew in a Bag - what about the bag?

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 03:02 PM PDT

Just about to start my first ever all grain brew - a small stove-top batch brewed in a nylon bag sold for the purpose by a home brew shop.

When I'm done - what's the best way to clean and preserve the bag for the next time?

TIA!

Fermenter Size for Small Batch Brewing

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:59 PM PDT

I'm looking to try all-grain brewing - it'll take a while for me to work it out and so small all-grain kits (like the 4.5L and 11L kits from the Edinburgh Brewstore) look ideal for failing and learning quickly. Or suceeding and having some great beer!

All of my ferementaion kit at the moment is 25-30L.

If I ferment a small batch, do I need a small fermenter?

Or can I ferment 11L in a 30L fermenter without any problems?

Lalbrew London..again

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:48 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?

Recommend me a low alcohol (1% or less) commercial brew

Does any brewery yet produce a beer under 1% which you are happy to drink?

Too much sodium metabisulphite

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:13 PM PDT

Hi all, when brewing the other day, I treated my water for chloramine with the addition of SMB.
However I have a powdered form and usually just sprinkle a small amount.
I slipped while adding the other day and probably endud up adding close to a teaspoon.
During fermentation the smell was so bad, like egg.
Now I know this CAN be normal, but never had it before with this yeast, S-04.
Checked a sample yesterday, and I know it's only a few days but ferment has basically finished, gravity 1.012...

Is filtering strawberry wine must necessary?

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:08 PM PDT

I'm probably going to make my second batch of strawberry wine soon. The most tedious part of the process the first time was filtering the must once I had squashed the strawberries to get the juice out. I did this in two stages, first a rough filter through a sieve to get rid of the solids and then a fine filter through muslin to get rid of all the little bits which took forever. So I'm wondering just how necessary the second fine filtering stage is? I gather it is supposed to help to achieve...

pan size help

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:04 PM PDT

i have Been looking for a good pan that is big enough to do a 2 gallon brew in , I found a pan online that is 14L stainless steal and strong , a lot of pans over 13L feel like tin cans and wobble when full , I guess if your on a budget that is fine but i don't feel they would last long .

Hazelwood Brewday

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 01:24 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).

Notts beers days

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 12:27 PM PDT

So, after reading so many other beer day threads, thought I'd add my own.

I'm back in the game relatively recently after too many years of not brewing! I think life got in the way and things stopped. Previously I had made kits and progressed to extract brewing with some good success. I also used to make wine kits, even being bold enough to make white and red wine for my wedding (exported to the Netherlands for the big bash!). My wife was stuck for a b'day present this year and suggested a...

Chloride and Sulphate water tests

Posted: 10 Jul 2021 12:23 PM PDT

Hi, Can anyone advise me how to test my tap water for Chloride and Sulphate? I've seen test kits that cost £300! I've bought aquarium test kits for hardness, alkalinity and Ca but can't find an inexpensive way to test for above. Thanks in advance

Just been released on MaltMiller




It's not clear from the listing whether MM are including the bamboo mounting with it or if it's sold separately. The videos imply it's included but the listing looks like it's separate but they don't appear to have the board in their shop. It looks incredibly smart though, and much easier to...
