And for every one that puts forward a successful daft request there is an equally idiotic person in a position of authority who rubber stamps it! Unbelievable!

Cheers Stu, sounds like a no brainer combo for bottling day!

How the heck do you get the wort that clear out the boiler? At best my wort is murky but last brew was muddy looking. I use protofloc, grain basket and G4 bottom plate ?

Cheers Dave getting one of those no probs with the foamy head there and loving the bottle cap variety DoJ 😎

Cheers Dave getting one of those 👍

Great advice thanks all and best I get a bottle tree! 👍 Sorry all, one last question - do the dish washer tabs not effect head retention in the same way as washing up liquid? Or is that sorted with the rinse and sanitiser stage before filling?

Ok gotcha, make sure it’s on a decent temp cycle cheers 🍻

Good point Stu, I have centennial, cascade, mosaic full packets, 40g magnum. Also have home grow EKG 150g , Fuggles 100g but wasn’t sure if I should use them as the AA isn’t known but could use a typical values? What sort of IBU would you aim for with the malt bill?

Thanks Foxy, I was wondering about that but don’t know what the ratios need to be 👍

Hi Jason, I didn't think the water would get up the bottle neck properly to clean in the dish washer? I'll give that a go, cheers! Anything different recommended in the way of the DW tabs or cleaning products?

Cheers BF I'll give it a go then.

Good point, they do tend to be full on flavour.

any thoughts on this mix?

Hi Brewsters I’m trying to use up old grains but am very low on MO base (750g) so was wondering if you could use Light Munich (1.5kg) and Vienna (2.9kg) malt as alternatives in a stout? I’ve also got 2kg of brown malt, aromatic, roasted barley, carafe 3, plenty of chocolate malt plus some odd...

Have you guys got any useful bottle cleaning gadgets you can recommend e.g. alternative more effective that bottle brush? I quite often have yeast etc up the bottle sides as well as the bottom of the bottle so needs a good cleaning. And still can’t afford the leap to kegs !
