    Dry hopped beer should be consumed within 6 months

    Fundamentally, no. The preservative nature of dry hopping was used to ensure beers lasted far longer than six months. However, if your beer is designed to only get its flavour and aroma from dry hopping, once that goes you are left with nothing, so best to consume them as soon as possible.

    American Brown Ale an appreciation.

    @Brew_DD2 Oooops! Where it said Fuggle. A flame out addition. Aurora is great, I've used it in a few different styles, Saison was really good.

    American Brown Ale an appreciation.

    It's been a while between ABA brews. Using unconventional hops in this one, hopefully getting a good, rounded balance of hop flavour between the citrus, spice and the floral noble character of Aurora and the fruity, Lychee and piney resin of Topaz. Batch - 12.5L OG - 1.052 ABV - 5.5% EBC - 42...

    Co2 prices

    £14, no deposit. I'll say this again. Bars and pubs go through these quickly, they don't pay deposits. Support a small local bar and ask if you can tag onto their order, or find who their supplier is and go direct.

    De-befuddle me on my water report please

    Only on the day you took the sample. In isolation you have no gaurantee of knowing if that was a typical day or an anomaly.

    De-befuddle me on my water report please

    The data from a test should be used to extend the data set from the water authority, not replace it, though.

    They are, it's a legal requirement.

    De-befuddle me on my water report please

    You could look at how your local water report is compiled. If the water report gives a min, max and average, then you can at least see what the worse case scenarios are likely to be. And how the mean value relates to the max and min values. My local report covers a rolling 12 month period, which...

    De-befuddle me on my water report please

    203ppm is around 14 °E (Clark). Are these the two scales used? Both similar to not be an issue. Another report that flies in the face of 'Don't trust the water company reports'.

    How has it taken them this long?

    There are, that's what prompted the thread. They are presenting them as a new way of brewing, which is what struck me as being very odd, suggesting that there were no previous mix-and-ferment kits available in the USA. Clearly, there was. Thanks.

    How has it taken them this long?

    Great. I'm assuming you just dissolved everything together and pitched the yeast? Had this quick and easy way of brewing completely dissappeared in the US, between then and now?

    How has it taken them this long?

    That, and the propensity for deep frying whole turkeys.
  15. Sadfield

    How has it taken them this long?

    For bread, malted milk and candy, apparently. Sure. Circa 2001 issue of Palmer, showing a John Bull and Coopers (?) kits. This just makes it slightly weirder that extract kits have become something presented as a new way to brew, with no mashing or boiling.

    Reusing Biere D’or bottles

    Twin lever cappers are the problem in my experience. I've not broken a bottle with a bench capper.

    Open Fermentation and/or Different Fermenter Geometry.

    Samples A, B and a palate refresher. Not full pints as I wanted to make sure I left yeast in the bottles. Hopefully the other tasters will post their findings before reading. Cheers for the beers @Twostage. Now, off to scrub the marker pen off the vintage glassware.

    Trolls? There's not one negative comment about their customer service. Just a discussion whether taking over the business is a viable proposition. Perhaps, they'll like to see this thread, to see how the gratitude is repaid by people trading discount codes to get their remaining stock as cheap...

    Celebrating 10 years of AG brewing

    Time flies when you are having fun. I passed the 10 year mark in May. Still using the same Igloo mash tun, brew kettle and very, very occasionally the same FV. Temperature control came and went, I don't need it now.
