    Lagering

    I think you're over complicating this @Jason s If you are sure it's finished fermenting then move it somewhere warm(er) for a couple of days - corner of kitchen or something - and then chill it for however long you want to complete the lagering It's up to you if you take it off the trub or...

    February Dark beer competition

    Scrap my entry @samale My one remaining bottle of new year beer (that I had been saving for this comp!) was put out on the side in the kitchen yesterday to be posted today, and my daughter's boyfriend was round last night and drank it. Needless to say, he was then beaten to death with said...

    Love how he's constantly talking about l-ion batteries that contain cobalt, yet most of his imagery is of Tesla's, that use lfp batteries that are also cobalt free. Nimrod

    Best Ever Pop Song

    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    I have literally no idea what this wine is. It was made up to 7 years ago (when I started making wine), and found it right at the back of the cellar. Label is totally minged up and illegible. Plus having done a few rose coloured wines over the years, I can hand on heart say I don't know what...

    Hops levels in a Pressure fermented lager

    Yes and no. Whilst hop aroma will be retained more (possibly) under sealed conditions like a pressure fermenter, that won't impact ibu. Plus hops added for bitterness at 90-60mins will have lost all their aroma by the end of the boil anyway. So as long as you aren't getting your bitterness from...

    AG 143 Cascade Saison You just cant beat a pint of saison. And i am drinking wayyyyy too many pints and my previous double saison experiment is starting to run short, so need to get another one brewed quickly! Unfortunately all i have left is some american hops. hmmmm, not my first choice, but...

    Bitter Recipe

    That looks proper nice. Although personally I would probably reduce / remove the hopstand and instead add hops at flame out for the same IBU Might be a bit hop forward otherwise

    Parsnip wine

    Might as well, although can't think what fruit juice would go with or compliment parsnip... Perhaps keep it simple and use apple juice?

    Parsnip wine

    My mum swears parsnip wine is delicious, so if it's rank, she will be drinking all 4.5l of it!

    Parsnip wine

    I picked up 1.5kg of parsnips in christmas week from our local Asda for the grand total of 21p - yep 21 pence - and having never done a parsnip wine before, thought it might be worth a shot. Immediately put them in the freezer and forgot about it all. Then last night i remembered why there was...

    and its a decent pint of hop juice! the dry hop addition has given it a really punchy in your face flavour - and some haze - and its still got a good underlying flavour profile to compliment the aroma profile. going to call this one Gandalfs Disco Juice

    Secret Santa Reviews 2023

    Time to fess up that the house saison was my beer @andyb13 and @samale I'm using your picture as it's way better (and more festive) than mine. Glad you both liked it, it's a recipe I've done quite a few times now and is one of 2 that I brewed to experiment with the difference between first...
