I've gone to check my fermenter to prep for my dry hop later in the week but the beer hasn't cleared as I expect and has a 'odd taste' to it. I've had a quick look and it looks a little 'greasy' I'm not sure if this is infected? Assuming it is, I guess I need to bin the plastic fermenter, tap...

So I've decided to re-brew the last recipe I brewed to try to improve my process. Although I thought it was ok , unfortunately it I did get a poor score from the comp I entered it into. So I've pulled the last score sheet out to remind myself what was said (in short): Issue 1: - Aroma...

So I've brewed a beer recently that I just don't like, nothing wrong with it just not to my taste. Not sure I can throw it away, but not sure what to do with it. What do others do when you make a beer you don't like?

Hi, I've got a recipe I crated at 9% but I want to create a lower grav version. Brewfather allows me to scale the grain easily but doesn't scale the hops. I'm not sure what is the best way to change them - do I adjust them the same amount as the grain or something else?

I've lost confidence in my current fermenter so want to get a new one. Can someone recommend a plastic 10l fermenter please? Thanks

So after entering national homebrew competition and getting slight lower than I expected However the judges highlighted solvent flavours, which is odd - the beer I sent was bitter mango but other beers have had a taste that I couldn't put my finger on. Looking into solvent flavours it is caused...

What tempature is OK to condition/store beers at? I've stored my beers in the celler which has been cool since I've started brewing at the start of the year, but it's now getting quite cold ( but not freezing) in there and I wondered if the beers will be OK to condition.

So I've ordered a thermowell, which has turned up with no washers or backnut :( I can get a 1/2 brass backnut from screfix quite easily but what washers can I use that I can get easily for use in my fermenter? Looks like it's either rubber or fiber Thanks
