I've recently put together and AG old ale and it's a few days in the beer fridge fermenting at 20c. Starting gravity was 1.082 so I'm expecting it to come out at around 9.4% abv. I recently read that big abv ales should be left for about a month to finish fermenting as there is a risk that...

Hi All, It's been a while since I've last posted, new job, new house and a bit more free time now. Anyhow, thought I'd get stuck in to brewing again with an AG Barley/Porter hybrid which should be good for Christmas 2021. Simple recipe, with pale, chocolate, crystal, scraps of torrified wheat...

Thanks for the feedback, so would i be right in thinking 1/2 a tablet for 30ltrs is about right?

I've noticed a few people add campden tabs to the sparge water. I use good old Cornish tap water, so would there be any benefit to be gained by adding campden to the water?

Hi, welcome to the forum. Looking forward to hearing about some great Canadian brews and recipes to try.

On the same stretch of road I often see cars & vans pulling left into the bus and cycle lane (without looking or indicating) to avoid stopping for the red light in the other lanes. aheadbuttWhen numpty meets numpty on the road it's bound to not end well. On the plus side this roundabout is the...

On the morning run today I had two cyclists on separate occasions and locations jump red lights. I'm starting to see a lot of this and it's only a matter of time before one of these numpties comes unstuck and get integrated in the tarmac. Apart from causing danger to themselves or other road...

Yep, slophouse 13

Above is the Old Tom recipe. ..ish The other old ale was a test as I only had Saaz: 6 kg Pale Malt 300 g Crystal 60L 300 g Chocolate 250 g Torrified Wheat 650 g Sugar 70g Saaz @60 mins 30g Saaz @10 mins I will be making this one again, and bottle it for as long as I can leave it alone. It's...

Just waiting on a delivery of hops and DM before trying my first Old Tom Ale. I've just started drinking an old ale I made on October, so I hope this turns out half as good. 5440 g Pale malt 455 g Crystal 60L 455 g White Sugar 155 g Chocolate malt 750 g Dry Malt Extract...

I tried it when it first come into our local 'spoons', thought it was that bad I asked for a change for something else, utter garbage. Unlucky 13 eh.

Just tasted my Cornish milk stout that's been in the keg for a couple of weeks. Loverly jubberly, should be a cracking addition for my Christmas drinky poos. Made it last year around November, and can't for the life of me figure out why I don't brew it more often:beer1:

You Sir, are a legend. That should do the job nicely :hat:

I have a 9.5 mm beer line pipe to a G style keg coupler. I'm looking for a reducer or connector that will allow me to connect the beer line to a standard garden hose pipe. I'm looking to use this set up to clean and sanitize a 30ltr keg. a Has anyone come across something like this?

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your first HBathumb..

It's a worthy endevour having a constant supply of home brew on tap. If only that pesky work did not get in the way I'd be brewing every other day:beer1:

Nice find there Sir clapa

I mentioned way back that I've come in to ownership (legally) of a few kegs when my wife took over a restaurant. We got rid of the pile of kegs out back, by leaving them out for the dray that delivers to the pub next door, but no one would take the little 30ltr keg. So I'm going try to use it in...

I'm planning the brew Robinsons old tom from GWs BYOBRA. The recipe looks sound enough, although I'm guessing its based on a fairly good brew-house efficiency. as mine is only at about 58% at the mo I've worked into the recipe 700g DME to get me up to the 8.5% Is this addition likely to make...
