St00s Br00 Days Posted: 27 Aug 2021 04:19 PM PDT Monday 23rd August 2021 07:34 Wake up - Think of everything I could do to get ahead on the brew day. Spend 15 minutes procrastinating and fall asleep. Five Points Best 09:29 I recirculate 10 litres boiling water through the recirc pipe, whirlpool arm, CFC and measure water additions. I rub the small of my back and think "I'm too old for this ****" I add the full liquor volume to the kettle and add sodium... St00s Br00 Days

Anyone mad enough to grow their own hops? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 02:46 PM PDT Hey folks. I live in the UK and had a crazy idea to grow my own hops for brewing. Has anyone else done this, is it a common thing? I get that it's a lot of effort to DIY, but wondered if the quality might be better? Crazy idea or not?

Joke of the day. Posted: 27 Aug 2021 02:44 PM PDT A joke to take the minds off the worriers and whittlers, who think we are all going to be wiped out with plagues pestilence and the off chance of a collision with a asteroid. In a small village in Russia the village milking cow dried up, the villagers were panicking wondering what to do. A village elder suggested they go and see the wise man of the woods, so they traipsed up to where the wise man of the woods lived. They explained the problem they had with the cow and he told them they... Joke of the day.

Gas bottle inside or outside a kegorator? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 02:23 PM PDT Hi all. Almost completed my old fridge conversion. Plan to use a sodastream bottle. Got the reg and lines. Question is. Gas in or outside? Any advantages or disadvantages to either. I have a 19L and 9L keg. All new to me as i plan the first brew for kegging soon.. All advice appreciated.

Lager brew Posted: 27 Aug 2021 02:19 PM PDT I am starting off a lager brew and would like to know what fermentation temperatures I should be trying to get ?

CR7 return to OT Posted: 27 Aug 2021 01:40 PM PDT What do the football fans on here make of Ronaldo proposed return to United. The history is favourable. It worked with Larrson Ibrahimovic Cavani So why not CR7?

Coconut flour Posted: 27 Aug 2021 01:12 PM PDT After buying Dan Toomes curry guy bible I bought some coconut flour which adds depth to a passanda curry. Has anyone used it in beer making? Maybe in a tropical stout?

Oxidised bottle from keg :( Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:54 PM PDT I bottled 4 beers from a keg recently - 3 were delivered locally by hand to mates who all enjoyed the beer. The 4th one was posted to a forum member who reported it had gone brown and oxidised - the other beer I sent in the same box (different beer, bottled from a bucket) was fine, as have been the many other bottle conditioned beers I've sent previously. After 2.5 years brewing I've recently moved from bottles to kegs. So what might I have done wrong bottling from the keg this time, and... Oxidised bottle from keg

Brewlab slope alternative Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:28 PM PDT For decades my go-to yeasts have been Brewlab slopes - especially their East Midland 1. A true top-cropper and a clean fermenter - it so suited my style of beer. But, trying to order from their website recently, I just get a blank page. I've e-mailed them, but no response so far. So, I did a web-crawl, to try to find decent alternatives. The top two I came up with were both White Labs - WLP038 and WLP039. WLP039 especially sounded like it could be what I'm after. But, my usual... Brewlab slope alternative

Tea. Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:21 PM PDT The days before tea bags -

Late hop additions / hop stand Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:15 PM PDT I'm playing with a recipe generator to use up some bits and bobs I have, and one recipe asks for adding some hops @6 mins (another was at 1 min). I've never seen this suggested before (latest i've seen is at 15 mins or at 0 mins). If I went for this, should I let the hops boil for 6 mins then remove, or can they be left after the boil has finished (say 30 mins)? Will leaving them after the boil add flavors not wanted in the beer, or make the flavors stronger then wanted? Cheers, john

Excessive trub Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:13 PM PDT Hello all I'm in the process of fermenting a mango milkshake IPA and am concerned about the amount of trub. I started the brew on Sat 21/Aug It's a 24l partial mash. The details are as follows: IPA kit LME1.7kg tin Grains 2kg Pale Malt 1kg Flaked oats Mashed @ 67c for 60 mins 750g Lactose (mixed in to wort prior to yeast pitch while aerating) 2 x Packs of CML Haze yeast I have attached a photo and as you can see the trub is already up to my tap. I'm goin to add mango and dry hop, so trub... Excessive trub

Blockages Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:58 AM PDT Morning guys! We have a slight blockage problem when we brew, and I wondered if you could suggest some kind of filter to put over the pump hole in the bottom of the brewzilla please? We think it's the plate chiller that's causing the problem, as we found lots of hop junk in there last brew day, despite using the hop spider (plate chiller completely clogged). So we thought the only way we could keep using the plate chiller is by stopping as many bits getting into it. What does everyone... Blockages

3 x Kettle elements with IEC fittings Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:42 AM PDT Hi guys, Getting kinda sick of repairing my kettle elements which I tore from £5 kettles. Looking to see if anyone has some old 2.4kW elements they're willing to sell on the cheap which already have IEC connections on them? I know I can get them new but £30 each or thereabouts is taking the **** for such a basic part. Cheers G

NEIPA water profile and Brewfather Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:16 AM PDT Finalising the recipe for a NEIPA for this weekends brewery. I'm just getting more into water adjustments and so far have been blindly following Brewfather suggested additions against my own water profile. However thought I'd delve a bit deeper in with this beer. It seems fo NEIPA's the water profile should have a Sulphate to Chloride ratio of 1:3 however the Brewfather 'Hoppy NEIPA' target profile results in a 'balanced' Sulphate to Chloride profile. So I created my own custom target... NEIPA water profile and Brewfather

Bath rescue dog named Britain’s ‘most unwanted’ after four years in home Posted: 27 Aug 2021 10:44 AM PDT This poor dogs plight was discussed on 5 live earlier they are going to keep mentioning it hoping a listener will give it a home - A stray lurcher in Bath has been named Britain's most unwanted dog after spending four years in a rescue home. Sue was rescued in the city in 2017 and has been living at the RSPCA's Bath Cats and Dogs Home ever since. During that time, 941 of her fellow kennel-mates have been adopted and found new homes. After recently marking her fourth year at the... Bath rescue dog named Britain's 'most unwanted' after four years in home
