Hi all My mash tun is the insulated bucket in a bucket type. I have absolutely no problems with heat loss. I usually dough in at 2.5L per kg of grain, however due to the height my inner bucket sits on the outer bucket I require a further 5L of water at the bottom. Therefore whilst most would...

cheers guys - looks like US05 can be a pain to clear judging by responses and a quick google search. I don't have the facility to crash cool, other than the garage which whilst cooler than the house, now we're in spring certainly not 1 degree! Pittsy - cheers, that's what I meant, i.e. I had...

cheers both Yes temperature raised with rousing. I took a consistent reading of 1017 over a couple of days so I figured it had competed plus it had been in the primary for 10 days. I think the gravity is more to do with my aeriation and pitching, i.e. I need to aeriate more and make a starter...

Hi all, happy new year. Over the Christmas break armed with what I'd learn't from AG#1 I fired up the kit and brewed again. This time the Adnams Explorer clone from GW.

Hi, had to join in on this. I'm new to AG brewing and currenly have one under my belt having brewed a TT landlord clone from the GW book. I thought I followed the recipe bang on for 19L but ended up with 15L or so and couldn't work it out until now. You advise the GW book for Theakston Best...

As it's been in the primary for 2 weeks I thought it had gone past the stage of stirring? It has been in the spare room at about 20 degrees for two weeks. Can I liquor back to 19L two weeks down the line? I'm happy to put this down to learning and I'll (hopefully) get some drinkable beer out of...

I measured mash temp at 67 degrees down to 65 degrees after 90 mins

Hi thanks for your comments. It's 12 days since the brew day and the FV was bubbling away nicely over the first 5 days or so. To clarify my OG post boil was 1050 vs an expected 1042 I checked the FG today and was at circa 1018 vs expected 1010. Of course only collected 16L as opposed to 19L. Is...

Hi First solo AG brew last night. TT landlord clone from Graham Wheeler. Had a great time but got so involved I forgot to take any photos. Couple of questions: I was brewingto 19L so had 8.2L for the mash and 18.7L (26.9L - 8.2L) to sparge into the brew pot as per the recipe. However, I...
