    Beer tastes like ashtray?

    Update: anyone interested, anyone searching forums with the same issue, the beer has now come good. Havent tasted for two week, had a couple over the last few days, still kind of got the same taste at first but now it actually tastes pretty good. Im guessing the issue was that it was scorched...

    Beer tastes like ashtray?

    So just made a couple of test batches on brewfather and the grain father app, and yes the ibu from 17g of magnum at 10.7 comes out at around 30 on all apps but once the fermentables are added this is reduced to 17/18ish ibus on all. Does this still sound incorrect.

    Beer tastes like ashtray?

    10.7aa which in the grainfather app translates to 17ibu i was a bit dubious to these calcs on the brew day tbh, as the estimated ibu from the similar alpha acid hops at hop stand seemed to give greatly differing ibu counts. perhaps ive encountered a bug here in the app, possibly as i messed...

    Beer tastes like ashtray?

    Kegging. Try to take extra care not to oxidse too ie, purge keg etc tastes are present before kegging. Software does take the hop stand into account, 17ibu from magnum 25ibu from hop stand using counterflow chiller, which i suppose increases the hop stand length, transfer takes ages and...

    Beer tastes like ashtray?

    Done a good few brews now, they have been coming out great but my penultimate batch had a distinct metallic flavour, any idea where that is from? Though it was mild and i drank the lot in a week or so with a bit of help, so can live with this. This latest batch (neipa) has a very ashtray flavour...

    Going for the Grainfather

    Can only speak for GF. Made brewing much more enjoyable, much easier to hit and maintain mash temps, and a bit quicker process. App is excellent for designing recipes, bluetooth control is more handy than i thought it would be for freeing you up between steps. No brainer if you have the money...

Scoured the internet yet despite this being a seemingly popular reg I cant find anything. need to strip and clean it as although brand new it was creeping up pressure when pressure testing dry with empty keg...

    3 full size corny and co2 bottle kegerator build

    Hey all, recently built a kegerator, but when looking for a fridge to do the job i was struggling to find internal dimensions and make a decision on a fridge. Since Ive now got it done I thought I’d post it here for anyone in the same predicament as I was. indesit/hotpoint SI61s internal...
