Hi Steve I have a quick question about your water calculator and Gypsum & Ca Chloride. Once you've entered all your numbers you get the amounts you need. There's a number given for both Gypsum and calcium chloride. If you only plan to use Gypsum do you need to only add the amount recommended or...

I have found a Spanish website that is going to have the lallemand in stock in June clapa

I'm sure there's a fair bit of hype about it as you say, but if it ferments at higher temperatures it's good for me. We're already in the 30s here now and summer hasn't even properly started yet! Never heard of distillers yeast so wouldn't know where to get it from.

Picked this up in the supermercado today, mainly because it had a bike on it. Turns out to be a lovely beer. Shall be buying plenty more especially as it's (more or less) local.

Yeah I figured it may be tricky, was hoping there'd be the odd pot available

Morning everyone hope you're all having a good Sunday. I'd like to buy my step-dad a couple of hop plants for his birthday but I'm not sure where to get them from in the UK. Does anyone have any recommendations? Cheers

Ahhhhh ok, thanks for clearing up 👍

I'm also looking to get one of these all in one jobbies eventually, but I thought the Grain Father had loads of bugs? Saw a vid by David Heath and he's pretty damning about it.

Sous vide?

I was asking myself this exact question the other day! 👍

I'd have to say Kyuss and maybe I could ask for the odd Queens of the Stone Age song as well!

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but if I used dextrose instead of sucrose when I bottle will it make any difference?

Great thanks! Yeah couldn't believe it when I saw the delivery cost, it literally doubled the cost of my order!!!

Hi guys, I am trying to get my hands on some kveik for brewing in the summer. I live in Spain so from the end of this month till about November it's going to be too warm to brew with most yeasts. The only website I've found a comercial kveik on is Brouwland and they want to charge 27€ just for...
