    Electric cars.

    Is possible, but the electrical drag created will render it useless. Works well in an ICE car, where it does create the same drag, except you use fuel to overcome the load. In an electric car you would generate less electricity than it takes to compensate for the extra load. Similar to your AC...

    Electric cars.

    I love my Ioniq6. Saving me a fortune as I only charge at home. Sometimes its free, as there is so much excess electricity, I get paid to consume it.

    Leffe Blonde clone: experience of using cloves and vanilla?

    How did it go? My Neck oil turned out great, after letting it age for about 8 weeks in a cold room. Now looking for ideas, and I reckon this might hit the spot.

    What are you drinking 2024.

    Oil for the neck. Turned out pretty good. 6 weeks of corny conditioning might have helped.

    Oil for the neck, from TMM

    So I've tried this about 6 weeks ago, and it didnt sit right. Thought I would have another tr of it after " dryish January" and its pleasently surprising. Very hoppy, as neck oil is, i suppose. But its definitely conditioned well. Quite pleased with myself to be honest and very grateful for...

    First brew from all grain

    This was a learning experience. Something went wrong somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. It was very chemical tasting and undrinkable. Next be was much better, still not 100%, but definitely drinkable.

    Oil for the neck, from TMM

    So dry hop has added some expected clouds, but it tastes and smells great. In the corny now for conditioning under Co2. Fingers crossed

    Oil for the neck, from TMM

    Brewed this the other week, and its now fermented out, pretty much bang on where I expected it to be. Yeild was a little down, but I think this isdue to my inexperience of the BrewZilla 4 temperature and mash levels. First time using the protoflac too, and was amazed at the slightly alien...

    Great stuff. Loving the updates. Be good to see what the science actually says vs years of luck and experience

    Heriot-Watt Brewing and Distilling course

    So no chill is out then? Hmm.... I better get my immersion cooler out then. Weird thought though. The last brew i did, which was a hefeweizen, was not chilled but ledt in the fermenter to cool overnight prior to pitching. It was much better than the previous brew, which ended up down the toilet...

    Leffe Blonde clone: experience of using cloves and vanilla?

    Nice one. Be interested to know how it went.

    Leffe Blonde clone: experience of using cloves and vanilla?

    Which recipe are you using for this? Do like a Leffe Blonde myself. Got a Beavertown Neck Oil clone preparing now, but Leffe could be a good one for the festive period.

    Brewzilla Gen 4 advice and experiences

    So when you are mashing it overflows? Sounds like a stuck mash. Is your grain too fine? Not getting through the mesh and backing up inside the pipe? This would also explain the pump cutting out.

    Hop shortage?

    Been a few reports kicking around this morning. Scaremongering or fact? https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/alcohol/beer-fear-over-climate-change-impact-on-global-hop-harvests/683886.article I'll be scouring the forum for hop growing techniques.

    Brewzilla Gen 4 advice and experiences

    Not used mine yet for actual brewing, but that doesnt sound right. Whats the level in the pipe before the boil? Still to check, but I think the pump is not rated for boiling wort. Might just need to reset it. Is there not a button underneath?

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    Update. It's much better now. Nice head on pouring but it doesn't last long. The head that is. Tastes good, just looking a chucking some cherry at it. To experiment.

    Brewzilla Gen 4 advice and experiences

    So the new gen 4 brewzilla arrived last night. I did some trials with water to see how the temp control worked out. Observations With the HE plate installed, it heats up much quicker than I expected. It maintained a temperature within 0.5 degrees of the setpoint, so thats good, although I...
