I’d love to try the Hazy IPA please!

Thanks foxy - great info! I am on day 2 of cold crashing so will be aiming to transfer to keg (with the floating ball dip tube) either this evening or tomorrow. I’ll then apply 10psi of pressure and leave for another few days to ‘carb up’! I had a bad brew day with a stuck sparge, overheating...

Thanks foxy. I'm moving to the fridge today to cold crash for a couple of days before moving to the keg (had some modifications to make to the fridge first). So with regards points (2 & 3) - should I stick with 10 PSI to apply pressure to the keg once transferred? As I say it has been...

Hi all Is anyone using pressure fermentations (in the fermzilla or otherwise) who can offer up some advice? I feel like I'm making it up as I go along and wish there was a step-by-step / idiots guide available!! My latest Pale Ale seems to have finished fermenting in my Fermzilla - this is my...

Hi terrym So I think I am getting to the bottom of it now. I have done a new gravity reading and it is currently 1.022. When my mate took the last gravity reading and reported a FG of 1.049 (pretty much the same as it started) I think he was confusing the columns on the hydrometer (reading...

Wow! Thanks for introducing me to CrossMyLoof, what a great site and free delivery instead of the usual £8 odd from other sites! I have ordered several packs of yeast to keep in the fridge and also couldn't resist getting a load more hops to keep in the freezer for the next brew too!

@xozzx - sorry missed the question about expected FG - I don’t have the instructions with me but I think it was supposed to be 1.012 or thereabouts. The SG was supposed to be higher as well even with the full 23l. Hopefully this points at incorrect SG / possible broken hydrometer and stalled...

Thanks again for advice - yep if anyone else wants to chip in with some more please feel free!! I already upped the temp to 21C 2 days ago to see if it would get started again but so far I can’t actually see any bubbles (and no obvious krausen but it’s not a transparent FV)... I’ve been...

Definitely pitched the yeast. Temp would have been ~20C. Temp is controlled by an Inkbird gaffa-taped to the side of the FV mid-height inside a chest freezer with heater. Temp dropped to 18.5 soon after, looking for a slightly slower fermentation. Krausen appeared for around 2 days then dropped...

Hi So for starters, nothing wrong with table beer - there is a market for that! It’s just not what I’m trying to brew! However, I really want to create a ‘knock-your-socks-off’ fruity, hoppy Neipa but trying to earn my stripes by brewing a few simple dry-hopped IPA kits so I can walk before...
