Has anyone much experience with lallemand Nova lager yeast? I brewed an uncharacteristic bad beer for no discernable reason recently and one of the kegs fermented with this yeast had a particular almost smokey flavor, very dry, with high bitterness. The other kegs weren't very good in my...

Hi many of you have done this in the past with me. Long and the short of it is I'm planning to buy as few 5kg sacks of hops and split them up into 250g vac sealed bags (this is nominal 250 actually 225but there's often a bit of shrinkage and it helps keep postage under whole postage rates. Now...

So, I don't know what the consensus view on this is, but I figured a lot of people are going to be bored and brewing and a bit isolated, so doing some lockdown beer swaps might be a fun diversion. Daft titles or prohibition style kitchen sink recipes. However I realise that depending on...

Hi, some of you might have done this with me before, but basically im looking to buy a bunch of bulk hops and sell on what I don't need at basically cost price, but last time I got in trouble as I had already got them so it wasn't technically a group buy. So this time I thought I'd give...

well well well. so post brexit Britain is showing its true colours. all the American hops I put up for sale here got snapped up in a heartbeat, yet the good solid reliable patriotic East kentish goldings are still amassed in the corner like a bunch of dejected faranges at a womad music...

so, tired of producing delicious beer, I've decided to abandon good practice entirely in my last batch and see what happens. so, instead of filtering everything and airating well with a nice big starter I just chucked everything into the fermenter (40ltr)and added two smack packs (London iii)...
