Hello, I'm hopefully opening a micro brewery soon after plenty of practice. I'm thinking about controlling my boil kettle and strike water using some kind of electric induction plate with a thermostat to keep the temp as accurate as I can. I also want to look into protein rests for my mash tun...

Hello everyone, I've been away for a few month renovating a house of which I plan to open a micro brewery. Obviously with some practice.

Hello everyone, I really fancy using some Wyeast for my first brew. Everyone is saying that the results are great. Looked on ebay and they are charging £50 to send an £9 pouch of yeast. I understand that the yeast is live and has to be sent chilled but I just don't want to pay that much and...

Noted, thanks for the advice. Even though my equipment holds 70L I think I am going for a batch of 23L of beer at the end. Should be a bit more manageable. Only have to start with about 35L of water due to my water loss being about 12L.

Can you dry hop orange or lemon zest into the secondary fermenter? Other then flavour will this effect any other aspects of the beer?

Would you recommend adding the yeast to the chilled mash then into he fermenter or would you aerate the mash then add to the fermenter then add the yeast and keep it still
