I moved to brew all grain beer to get rid of the homebrew taste. Im working on my wine brewing the kits which come out pretty decent although I have been looking at brewing from grapes. I want to do a cider. In the distant past Ive done a kit cider. I dont remember how it turned out. I think...

I saw this vid on youtube about making apple cider vingar so thought Id give it a go. Had some apples in the garden which I didnt eat due to having codling moth maggots. I chopped them out and followed the lady on the vid. So I added the apples water and sugar and left for natural...

Hi all buoyed on with my success with the Winexpert Pinot Grigeo white Ive taken the plunge with the Malbec Ive made a Beaverdale Merlot which was nice but a little on the thin side. Im hoping this will be as good as their white. I decided to give this one a go in my fermzilla. Im hoping...

I really enjoy most Badger brewery beers but last night had a bottle of their golden champion. First beer Ive had to pour away as long as I can remember. There was a smell taste I couldnt place and Id like to know what it is so I can avoid it. I see it says its flavored with Elder flower but I...

I brewed this golden ale a couple of weeks ago a recipe I had made in Brewfather. I had planned to use the Safale -US05 yeast but somehow I picked up and used the Mangrove Jacks M44 West Coast yeast. This was my 4th brew with the Brewzilla and the brew day went with out a hitch. Thanks to...

As the Beaverdale Merlot 30 bottle kit I brewed turned out really well I taken the plunge on a white. The red was pretty good to start but has definitely aged really well. Im now down to maybe 10 bottles. I gone for the slightly more expensive Winexpert kit which has 8L of juice over the 6L of...

Hi all Im thinking about brewing an AG Smash and have been giving the hops some thoughts. Adnams Ghost ship and Oakham Citra are good examples of Citra Hops Wherry is a beer I enjoy so I wondered which Hops were used and so searched for an all grain clone to get an idea. Despite the pages...

Hi friends For Xmas I had bought myself a snub nose fermentor. All my brews so far have been in a fermenting bucket with lid and airlock. I was planning to brew a hoppy golden ale today using my snub nose at atmospheric pressure i.e. using a regular air lock. Then to batch prime and bottle...

So Ive been playing around with Brewfather making my own recipes. Either reusing and adjusting other peoples or creating my own. David Heath & Homebrew Network both have good youtube videos detailing how its done. As you make adjustments the graph showing "style" levels changes so you can make...

So after learning much from strange-steves Beginners Guide to Water Treatment I have done a couple of brews adjusting my Alkalinity down from 228ppm to 30ppm for a hoppy beer using CRS. I have my water profile saved in Brewfather and it will calculate additions to alter magnesium, calcium etc...

Yesterday made my first batch with my new Bewzilla. I bought this all grain kit from get er brewed to get started. Proper English IPA All seemed to go ok for a first use of my new machine. I done basic water adjustments reducing the alkalinity from 228 to approx 20ppm I did make at least...

Hi friends Ive a little experience with all grain from some small batches I done on my stove top. I bought a Brewzilla and to simplify first brew I bought the Propper English IPA all grain kit from Geterbrewed. Kit said it came with full instructions which when reading didn’t give a sparge...

Im looking at a reasonable way to heat sparge water for a Brewzilla. Ive seen this on ebay and wondered if this is a reasonable way to go price/functionality? 20litre Electric Urn £54.00 Very interested in what current brewzilla (or similar) use. cheers buddsy

Hi Im buddsy Back in the 80s my dad used to do a few of the old Boots wine kits. When I was about 12 me and my pal used to go to the library and started making our own fruit wines! hahaha Ive done a few beer kits over the years with a pressure barrel. Nothing really too serious. Mainly...
