I went for yes, but i'm not sure why. :)

Hello Daryl. That is just way too organised. :cheers:

Hello. You'll be making a stout soon then? :cheers: P.s. You can kiss mine too :rofl:

I may be back for a how to on this. :thumb:

My 40l buffalo boiler kept switching on and off throughout the boil today. Not sure what difference it will make to the Big Kenny it was meant to be boiling. I'm hoping it's because there is some scale build up in the centre of the base. I think i read somewhere that this can be dealt with by...

I have a hop plant that is a cutting from a friend that has them growing wild in her garden. How would i identify them as the type is not known and how would you work out the AA from any harvest? :cheers:

Also the twin coil chiller cools quicker, uses less water and is a work of art. It's like owning stainless instead of plastic. :D

Hello, CO2 method is right and i think 80g of sugar for 23l of ale is good. Orange

Hello philbo. Before i joined this site i thought mashing was something you did with potatoes. It just gets out of control. :cheers:

Hello, My mum told me dandelion beer makes you wee the bed. :?

Well done. I had a change of hop filter after my 1st brew because of the same thing. Now runs much better. :cheers:

Thank you. :thumb:

Hello all. If i end up having the day off on Friday i shall be in the shed (defo no tv for me). I have a couple of q's that are on my mind. 1. When kegging a stout do i still need to add sugar. If yes, what amount for 23l? 2. Planning to try the Big Kenny but i don't think my LHBS has any Bobek...

I'm a bit pleased. It smelt good and tasted good. FG should have been 1008 but was 1010. That was with 2 weeks @ 20 degrees. So now the FV is freed up i can go for AG#2 planned for tomorrow night. Thanks all :cheers: Orange

Another vote for the 40l Buffalo. Mine is fitted with ball valve ( made hole slightly bigger with grinding stone in drill), and hop filter(flexible tap connector now in bin). I have only done 1 AG brew in it but; It does a good rolling boil, no electrical worries, plenty of room for a 25l brew...

Weight of hops = EBU x 10 x Volume, divided by AA% x utilisation. I used an estimate of 29% for the utilisation and came up with 45.6g of northdown hops. :clap: I can't believe i just did that, Thanks guys Orange

Sorry for being a bit slow but does 50 IBU mean 50g of hops? Orange

Will do. Orange

Thank you Baz. I will use those amounts. Would the hops stay the same? Orange

For 23l pale malt 3140 flaked barley 895 roasted barley 445 target hops 35 FG 1013 Orange I did look at the forum calcs before posting. no find.
