| Bottling a Triple NEIPA Posted: 25 Jul 2021 04:25 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! |
| Mojito Kilju Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:50 PM PDT I don't normally copy recipes, but this looked intriguing! Mojito Kilju from CS Mead channel. Mine is slightly different to theirs, as I don't agree with some of their methods. Here is what I put in mine:- 1.2kg granulated sugar 2 x packets fresh mint (leaves only) Zest and juice of one lime. Yeast Nutrient (plenty!) This is what it looks like! Pond water at the moment, but apparently it turns out fantastic so we'll see! [ATTACH type="full"... Mojito Kilju |
| The Mixed Fermentation Thread Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:47 PM PDT There seems to a few of us making mixed fermentation beers and even more interested in starting out. So I thought a general thread on the subject may work?? Would be great to hear what people are up to. Pass advice and encouragement on to each other. Photos I love photos especially of pallicles  .. Maybe some bottle swaps? I've only had commercial sour beers other than my own homebrewed and would love to try other home brewed examples  |
| Ferment temperature went crazy… ruined? Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:14 PM PDT Hi When I brew I don't have a brew fridge so I always judge it around what the weather is like. I have just built a keezer too so cant get away with another fridge at the moment (might have to work up to that) I brewed a NEIPA Thursday night when forecast was saying ~18-20 degrees c for the next two weeks, got it in the fermzilla and it's been fermenting at 10-15 psi and obviously the heat wave rolls in. Although it was only 24 in the day yesterday and 18 at night when I was checking the... Ferment temperature went crazy… ruined? |

| Mangrove Jack Brut IPA Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:39 PM PDT Just finished off my keg of this, was my first try at a 'big' brew after a few ones done in the Pinter and was ok-ish, I think the 'ish' was probably down to my mess-ups, I accidentally dropped half the hops in at the beginning of fermentation when trying to jerry rig something with bags and magnets! It remained cloudy for a few weeks but the keg cleared reasonably for the last gallon or so. Was very 'brut', fermented out to 1.004 from an initial 1.052, with a pretty bitter finish (possibly...

| PB carbonation help Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:31 PM PDT Have just carbonated a batch of larger in a PB

The first 3-4 pints came out as nearly all froth

| Fermzilla 30L All rounder ? Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:24 PM PDT Evening all!
what are folks thoughts on the Fermzilla 30L All rounder?
I have it in mind for fermenting under pressure and for NEIPAs to keep out O2 while transferring to keg under pressure.
it's on my list for Santa. Should it be? |
| Mangrove Jacks LME. Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:14 PM PDT Can anyone shed any light on the difference between the Mangrove Jacks Liquid Beer Malt Enhancer 1.2kg and the Pure liquid Malt Extract 1.5kg, apart from weight?!
The 1.2kg product is nearly half the price of the other. |
| What did you brew today? Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:04 PM PDT Some people may not want to write out a full brewday report but just say what they brewed.
So what did you brew today?
I made a 'bit's and bobs stout' to use up the odds and ends of grain I had |
| Overrated beers Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:04 PM PDT I just wonder what beer styles or individual beers you find overrated.
Mine would be NEIPA's which I find cloudy and flat. |

| CO2 Gas and cylinder shortage Posted: 25 Jul 2021 01:34 PM PDT Following on from Simon 12s thread on Keg shortages, it seems that CO2 supplies have also dried up. Both my local supplier and BOC in Plymouth confirm the new, sudden demand from the restaurant and pub market, means they can only supply existing customers with gas and cylinders.
Doubly frustrating as I'd ordered a Fermzilla All-rounder and it's due in the country any day now. For those whose bottle is getting a bit low, now's the time to contact your supplier. |
| Corny keg newbie help Posted: 25 Jul 2021 01:28 PM PDT I am a complete Corny novice. I have searched as much info as I can but think I just need your help as I am just as confused as before  . I have just picked up this Corny keg. Can you tell me if this is a pin or ball lock disconnect?(if that's the right terminology) I will no doubt get a second one so need to make sure they are the same. I do not make loads of beer just about to keg/bottle my 4th beer brew this year. What are recommendations for gas? Soda stream or get a larger size bottle... Corny keg newbie help |
