| Carb drops question. Help a newbie out Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:50 PM PDT Hi all. First time poster, been lurking since I started brewing a few months back Brand new to the hobby and having tons of fun! Only using kit's for now to learn about it all. So far I've done 3 brews. The one that came with my starter kit (Derby Spire IPA), a Coopers Draught and a cider recipe I found on Facebook brew group. Stuck the IPA in a King Keg and bottled the Coopers and cider. IPA was delicious even though I had all sorts of problems with a leaking kk cap (the cap was fine... Carb drops question. Help a newbie out |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:39 PM PDT A had a bottle of this for the first time at the weekend. It is an exceptional beer and there were a couple of questions I have about how it is made. The head was superb and possibly the most appetising beer foam I have ever come across. It was light but kept its form to the very end. It had the consistency of a light whipped cream, Does anyone have any insight on how they achieve this? They also use a proprietary yeast in their bottle conditioning, which they call "Jerumanus". There is... St Stefanus Blonde |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:20 PM PDT I intend to do the recipe for the American IPA from the Greg Hughes book next weekend and had a query about dry yeast pitch rate. I have entered the recipe into brewfather and also checked a few calculators online and they are suggesting 2 X 11g packets of yeast for the 1.060 estimated OG If I was to hit the target OG, I don't have 2 packets of the yeast I want to use, so could I build a starter from dry yeast packet to increase cell count ? I've read in several places where starters... Yeast pitch in American IPA |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:30 PM PDT So I guess I'm rather new here so I hope it's ok to start a thread here, I think it might be more useful than the written records I keep. Today trying a stepped starter for the first time since the packs of Lallemand diamond yeast I have are not even remotely close to the pitch rate I'm looking for the two lagers I'm looking to do this weekend. I had thought of just doing one but if I'm going to tie up my fermenting fridge for weeks at a low temperature I thought I might as well make best... Anna's Brewdays |
| Dextrine malt for head retention Posted: 12 Jul 2021 02:33 PM PDT My beers seem a weak in terms of head retention - especially the bitters which I prefer to carb only very lightly. I'm wondering whether a bit of dextrine malt might be an idea to help with this. The Simpsons stuff says "use sparingly (up to 5%) to add body and foam stability" but I'm wondering if anyone has experience of using this type of malt Ta |
| Completed AG Recipe Kits-GEB/MM Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:36 PM PDT Been a bit slack with posting up my brew day activity etc since I became more active on the forum. So here's a couple of posts on Ag brew kits from Get Er Brewed which have served me pretty well. As a new AG brewer I leaned towards these kits as it takes away a bit of stress regarding recipe creation enabling you to concentrate on your methods/processes whilst getting to know your equipment... Maybe others can recommend or give feedback on these type of kits. As I've found them to be pretty... Completed AG Recipe Kits-GEB/MM |

| John Bull Traditional English Ale Kit - Log Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:25 PM PDT Newbie to the home brew world, during the first covid lockdown I was helping out my Dad clean through the shed to which all his old brewing kit caught my eye. Silly me used a 20 year old kit without even thinking about it. The brew was so so bad (awful taste, tasting of CO2, extremely gassy and stout colour for a larger kit!), I had made sure to keep everything sterile ect. This summer I emptied all the bottles and wanted to try with a clean slate. Looked around and picked this John... John Bull Traditional English Ale Kit - Log |

| The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:04 PM PDT Just one episode of series 4 of The Americans left to watch before moving on to series 5. For anyone that hasn't seen it, it's set during the cold war and is the story of two Russian agents living a 'normal' family life in America. The pace has never dropped over four series and I've enjoyed every episode. Brilliant TV. Oh, and Keri Russell is absolutely gorgeous, which also helps. Which TV series would you recommend? |
| Chloride and Sulphate water tests Posted: 12 Jul 2021 11:46 AM 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 |
