Thanks @dazzleknight. I'd seen other videos but not that one, and that one's particularly good. I'd say my hops aren't ready for harvesting quite yet.

I'm thinking of getting ready for a brew day next weekend. I cut a homegrown Fuggles cone in half this morning and it does contain the yellow powder and gives a nice aroma. Is it time yet?

Count me in!

I also add Claraferm or Clarex when pitching the yeast. It's supposed to minimise chill haze that can occur when cold-crashing. It also reduces the gluten content, often to the extent that people who only drink gluten-free beer get along fine with the low-gluten homebrew.

Here are a couple of shots of the Fuggles, which have been quite prolific - probably not enough to brew a full batch from, but certainly worth chucking them into my next brew. The Goldings bines have grown well, but there aren't a lot of flowers this year. Thanks for the tips. I suspected...

Hi, I'm in my first year of growing hops and I was wondering if anyone else, particularly in the Cambridge area, has started harvesting yet. I know it's just about time, and my Fuggles look/feel ready. The Goldings look like they need a little more time. Cheers, Rob

There's a lot of variety in stout recipes so it's hard to benchmark the right price. I'm about to brew the simple stout recipe from The Malt Miller, which is a relatively low abv, simple recipe, and pretty cheap. A Russian Imperial Stout on the other hand, is bound to cost more given the...

I've been brewing about 6 months and the reason I haven't tried a stout yet is that all the recipes I've read suggest bottling conditioning of at least 6 months. So, you might be a little on the early side, but if it's delicious it's delicious. You might want to put a few bottles aside and try...

Excellent. I'll follow the recipe then. 9%! That's a happy accident.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of checking like that.

Hi, I'm going to follow this recipe tomorrow and want to make sure I've understood the hop schedule correctly: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/cloud-9-ipa/ "THE BOIL Boil time (mins): 60 Additions and timing: 50g Chinook – 10 min 30g Centennial – 10 min 80g Centennial – Whirlpool @...
