Thanks for the reply. I'm still fairly novice at home brew terms, is underpitching just using less yeast than recommended? I found my recipe my yeast I used was Lallemands munich classic dry yeast. I think my next one I will try a liquid yeast. It was allowed to ferment for 2 weeks at around...

Hello, so I tried making a German wheat beer based off this recipe: http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/710/prost-weizen I got a really undesirable sour/tart flavour off it that's put me off brewing one again. It wasn't awful, I still drank almost all of the batch to myself, it was just a...

Hello! This will be my fourth brew so far, I've done 2 session IPAs and a wheat beer and thought I'd like to try a NIPA style. I've not done one before but I'm going for a fresh fruity style with good mouthfeel, sweetness and bitterness. I got great feedback and pointers on my last recipe I...

Hi guys, just saying thank you for your help with this recipe! It turned out pretty well, I brought it to a BBQ when it was still very young having been bottled for 2 weeks and I got great feedback. I think I got the hop balance a little off, I changed it to Galaxy and Azacca with about twice as...

Hi, I'm pretty new to brewing, i'll be starting my third this week. I've been playing about with my recipe idea and changed it based on opinions of the forum here. Link here: https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/advice-on-session-ipa-recipe.76953/ Current recipe...

I've looked into that and changed the recipe and got Carapils in my shopping basket. 3% of total bill you think?

I'd be okay with waiting for a good result. So ferment for 14 days, all the hops in at day 7, then leave for another 7 days then cold crash. Then leave it for how long before bottling would you say?

Okay awesome so less/lighter crytal malt and changing the yeast to US05 should give me a cleaner/dryer taste that will let the flavour of the hops come through?

They are all great guys with a ton of experience. I was a little unhappy with how my first beer turned out but I guess it was much better than trying by myself and it gave me a good understanding of the process. They've just opened up a little new home brew bar round the corner too. Ask them...

Thanks for the input! Do you have a preference between these 2 or could you tell me how the taste would differ between them?

Thanks so much for the great reply. I'm definitely going to take all that into account for the next brew day! Yeah I'd read a bit about a week being a little short to ferment. Could this have affected clarity or taste? Would you recommend just leaving it to ferment for 7 days, then adding the...

Just ordered it for next day delivery, thanks for the recommendation. :thumb:

Hi, I'm doing a new brew next week, I'd just like some advice/critique on a recipe idea I've done. I'm pretty new to this so sorry if I've missed anything important out. My first brew I wasn't very impressed with, we toned down the amount of hops from a recipe and didn't add enough brewing...

Yeah that's right man! You've used it too?

Hi, I'm pretty much a newbie to brewing but passionate about getting awesome at it. I've worked in the pub trade for 8 years now and got into ales then craft beer more recently. I've invested in doing 2 guided brewing sessions with a local little business to get a good understanding. My first...
