| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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?

| 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.

| 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

| 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 |
