Hello all, I fancy trying the Guinness extra stout for my AG#2 but would like to raise the ABV from 3.8 to 5.0. Is there a calculation for increasing the grains, sugar and hops to do this? :wha: Orange

Some pics hopefully taken by Tom my 12 year old son. :drink: My very tidy shed. The grains. Mash temp. A bit low but only dropped 0.4 over 90mins The boil. The buffalo went well.

First off, thanks to every body on this site. I would not have done it without you. I didn't all go to plan. I sparged a bit quick, the hop strainer blocked(it's one of those flexible tap connectors with the middle taken out) and post boil ended up with less than 20litres. It did taste very...

Going for my first AG in the morning. Trying Graham Wheelers Old Speckled Hen. :thumb:

I'll take that as a big fat NO then. :D

Does anyone do this? I've just seen a how to invert sugar. :geek:

I'm thinkin it's just a cap with a pressure relief valve. I'd personally try and adapt it so you can get some co2 in it.

Hello Sudbasher, I have an old Boots bottom tap PB that i use. I don't recognise your cap. I recently tried replacing my cap because it had a crack in it. All new caps had a different sized thread and would not fit. I fixed the crack with a screwdriver made red hot on the gas stove. What does...

I have same boiler but not used it yet but have been told it does a rolling boil without any mods. I had to enlarge the tap hole to fit a 15mm ball valve. Hope that helps. Orange

How about cola cubes? :whistle:

The boss knows i've got my eye on it and it hasn't been used for a very long time. He'd know where it was and ask for it back. But if it's too small it can gather dust for a bit longer. :thumb:
