I’ve never used finings, gravity is the best clearing agent. I take my beer out of the brew fridge, if bottling transfer to the bottling bucket and leave for about 3 days at the garage ambient temperature by which time it’s clear. If I’m kegging I leave the beer in the primary fermenter for 3...

Hop spider in the kettle and muslin bag in the fermenter.

Totally agree but the police have to be more challenging with suspects and arrest and charge those carry knives. For the reason police stopped stop and search doesn’t mean that they cannot stop challenging suspects now but not on racism grounds.

City Hall's Tory leader Neil Garratt said the new legislation was a "positive step”. Even the Tories know a ban is the right thing.

You are right it is black.

Starting off with my Old Hooky clone keg nearly gone , kegged in May.

Yesterday evening my HB Elderflower Saison

Yesterday this beer £1.79 from Aldi, very nice too.

I usually get 75% brew house efficiency with my Mundschenk unless I make a wheat beer when it drops dramatically. I only buy crushed grain usually Crisp. However stirring the mash is critical especially when mashing in to ensure no doughballs. I recirculate for the whole 60 minute mash and stir...

The scum that carry these knives want a top of the range knive not a kitchen knive to show their masculinity. Ban them and they won’t use kitchen knives, pointed sticks or flint axes.

Crossmyloof Kolsch yeast is good.

I purchased this yeast from Crossmyloof as it’s claimed to be Novalager. Has anyone tried M24 and if so what’s your impression?

Isn’t 62% a very low attenuation for US05?

That’s the same argument the Americans use to justify firearms. Guns in the UK were banned for good reasons and that has significantly reduced gun deaths, banning these knives will do the same.

All knives (except kitchen knives) should be banned and like firearms only sold if the buyer can prove the need due to their occupation. My son in law’s nephew was stabbed and died in London.

I use AMS to reduce alkalinity and Phosphoric acid to reduce pH. I use Brewfather software to calculate the amount of both acids based on my water profile, the grain bill and the target profile for the beer I’m brewing. I add the acids to mash and sparge water together with any other additions.

I’ve never used smoked malt but I ordered some to make a Mena Dru clone next week. I am not sure how much to add so I’ve gone for 7%, hope that isn’t too much. The actual beer doesn’t taste smoky.
