Hi everyone, I'm looking to "save" some un drunk ale from a cask. Is it possible to transfer any left over from a party at the end of the night to a corny keg or something similar so it can be consumed at a later date?
Why are Vegetarians accepted for what they are yet Vegans seem the butt of many jokes and are seen by some as nothing more than bandwagon jumping attention seekers, i don't know any vegans but did know one vegetarian many years ago who stooped eating meat as in his view killing animals to eat them is cruel, he did wear leather due to the fact the animals are killed for food not for their skin.
I'm thinking of making this beer and dug out my 1998 edition of GW brew your own beer book. I brewed this back in 2001 using his recipe with extract. From memory it was a very nice beer. I was scaling down the recipe in brewers friend to make a 10l batch and I was not getting anywhere near the EBC stated (closer to 6 than the stated 16 EBC) so I started googling for any recipies. The recipe I have notes (for 23l): 3.7kg Pale malt 195g crystal 80g fuggles @60 mins 15g Golding's @15 mins...
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?
My plan is to brew tomorrow, but first there's a bit of work to do. 1st job is make a couple of holes in what's going to be my mash tun/boil kettle, one for a 50mm tri-clamp, and the other for a thermowell. Bit worried because it's a bit thicker than the q-max cutters say they can handle. Got to cut a 16mm hole first to take the bolt of the 48mm cutter. Next job is cut an 18mm by 70mm slot to take a 2100w washing machine element in what will be my hlt. In my head, none of that should be too...
Managed to pick up a free chest freezer from my good mate, his mom was getting rid after a new fridge freezer purchase. As it going in the spare room upstairs, this makes more sense than the 6ft larder fridge I had seen locally cheap. SWMBO would have gone mad if that turned up been used but still had the clear plastic protector on.
internal dimensions are 45.5cm x 45.5 cm and 2 of my kegs together are 46 cm, might give the...
Last year I made some sparkly elderflower, I was pretty pleased with it. I essentially made the wine and let it finish but not clear and added priming sugar. It was good but this year I would like more fizz.
I added dextrose at a rate of 17g/l which is what I believe they use for the methode champenoise.
I have seen recipes which state to bottle at 1.010 which equates to about 30g/l of sugar.
Does anybody have any experience of how bottling whilst still fermenting Vs priming at...
SWMBO is a front line worker (carer) she has had the first jab and is now tested twice a week she also has the lateral flow test with the results showing 30 minutes after the test whenever she goes to work on the other days, there are no cases of Covid where she works and there hasn't been for quite a while.
I am hoping as a front line worker my turn will come soon my age will also help, its not often i am glad i am an old fart.
I managed to bet hold of a Grainfather Connect Controller to upgrade my Grainfather .it only managed to get to 99° never 100° albeit was a rolling boil but not as vigerous as it was with the old controller . I am only 200m above sea level so was expecting it to hit 100° . Is it normal for the connecf to have a slightly less vigerous rolling boil and not hit 100° .
I realise this is a home brew forum, but thought it might be interesting to post about my latest adventure.
Myself and a couple of associates here in Austria have been homebrewing for a while now, sharing our beers among ourselves and friends. We decided during COVID lockdown that we're going to have a go at doing something commercial. The key question is how?
We're not loaded enough to finance a craft brewery with all the equipment that entails. We also all currently have full time jobs...
My last brew had 5 gm summit hops boiled for 60 minutes, with 100 gm cascade hops for the last 2 minutes. Still short on aroma and overly bitter. Would removing the cascade hops at flameout help ? Is 100 gm enough ? (22 litre brew)
I'm looking to buy a temperature probe and controller, with Wifi. The Inkbird ITC-308 looks pretty much what I need!

I'd like the device to include ability to send data via mqtt, or some other API protocol (JSON would be fine). If this is not possible, then at minimum, a browser based web page for viewing data. As far as I can see Inkbird only support their InkbirdSmart app on phones.
I'd love to be told I'm wrong and the ITC-308 would...
The Moscow Mule is one of the best-known representations of the "buck" family of drinks. These cocktails contain ginger beer, or occasionally ale, plus lemon or lime juice.
Familiar to most by now, the Moscow Mule's ingredients are vodka, ginger beer, and a splash of lime. The drink is simple, unfussy and easy to make, which has undoubtedly helped to cement its popularity since it debuted in the early 1940s.
What's interesting about the creation of the Moscow Mule is how it acted as a master class in marketing and promotion, and tapped into an early sense of pre-internet social media, long before the dawn of Instagram, TikTok and influencer culture.
More comprehensive histories of the drink have been written, but the story is said to go like this: In the 1930s in Hartford, Connecticut, a man named John Gilbert Martin obtained the rights to Smirnoff, a fledgling producer that created a spirit, relatively unknown in the U.S. at the time, called vodka. Popular tastes skewed towards gin and whiskey, and no one wanted to buy his product, even after marketing attempts went so far as to advertise it as "Smirnoff White Whiskey: No Smell, No Taste."
Across the country, Jack Morgan, owner of the Cock 'n Bull bar in Los Angeles, had begun to produce a line of ginger beer. He also had trouble selling it, and soon cases piled up in the bar's cellar.
Finally, continents away, a Russian woman named Sophie Berezinski, daughter of the proprietor of a copper factory called Moscow Copper Co., designed a mug for her father's company that—you guessed it—the pair couldn't find buyers for. Berezinski is said to have departed for the U.S. with 2,000 of her copper mugs, in hopes of finding a buyer.
Eventually, the trio found each other at the Cock 'n Bull in 1941, where head bartender Wes Price combined Martin's vodka with Morgan's ginger beer cluttering up the basement, added lime, and the Moscow Mule was born. Berezinski's unconventional vessel created an eye-catching packaging for the drink, flair in mug form.
The pre-Instagram influencer
All that remained was promotion. A revolutionary invention that debuted in the late-1940s, the Polaroid instant camera proved key. Martin acquired one and began to bring it to bars and restaurants, where he would ask bartenders and patrons to pose holding his Moscow Mule cocktails. The photos prominently featured copper mugs and bottles of Smirnoff vodka.
Martin was said to always print two copies of each photo, one for himself, and one to give the subject as a keepsake. He'd managed to tap into humans' innate desire to show off pictures of themselves to friends, as a means of organic brand promotion more than half a century before the modern internet would turn it into standard operating business.
The gambit was a success. Trendy lounges throughout Los Angeles soon had bartenders posting Polaroids of themselves behind their bars, while patrons shared their own photos with each other. It all contributed to the perception of a cocktail scene awash with copper mugs and bottles of vodka.
The rest is history. And though the Moscow Mule has seen ups and downs in popularity, as any cocktail its age would, the drink still persists—as does the promotional scheme that propelled it into the mainstream.

I thought I would post my recipe in case anyone at home wants to play along.
I recently bottled my first go at a RIS, and had to stop myself drinking all the sample in the hydrometer cylinder. It started at 1.100 and finished at 1.021 after its six week journey into bottle. It was so complex and balanced already. I used the familiar Coopers three tin recipe with some steeped grain. Only two packets of US-05 and temperature control was via moving the fermenter around the house.
