    Johnson and Sunak to be fined over lockdown parties

    I think a potato could run this country better than these idiots could :laugh8: . In all seriousness though it is a good question of who could replace them, because so far the tory party has got worse with each new leader, and those poised to replace Boris aren't actually any better. I also...

    After 14 beers this seems well deserved!

    April Competition - Lagers

    I would like to be in. I have a schwarzbier bottle conditioning right now and a steam beer fermenting away currently. The latter is a SMASH with WLP830. My friend gave me an unlabeled bag of hops, he didn't know what they are, so it's a mystery hop beer. Anyway, if these sound good for the...

    March Competition- Freestyle

    That's a pretty decent selection! I'm heading out to a craft beer bar tonight which has less variety than that list!

    Bottles from counterpressure filler not very carbonated

    I was gonna give this another go but I have run out gas! I'll get some more and then I can fill some bottles. Beers are at 4c now.

    May Brew and Swap - Saison

    I used 100g in total for a 23L batch. The hop character does turn it into a sorachi ace IPA as the yeast didn't give any saison characteristics. My full recipe is here if you wanna have a look: Grainfather Community Tools

    May Brew and Swap - Saison

    You know when you walk into a room and forget why you went in there? That's kind of what I did with this thread earlier :laugh8: Anyway, what I also meant to say on my thread above is my last batch is a sorachi saison fermented with Lallemand Farmhouse, which is a non diastatic saison yeast...

    Bottles from counterpressure filler not very carbonated

    Thanks for your replies. How important is temperature? It's a bit hard to remember the order of events now but I think I connected it all up, turned on the thermostat, set it to 4°C then started playing around with my itap. The ambient temperature in my home brewery is ~14°c, the beer would not...

    May Brew and Swap - Saison

    I too was gonna make a sorachi ace saison, but I will go for something different. I've been a bit ill the past few days so I've not been able to do any brewing, but it's given me time to think about it. I have some homegrown Chinook I think I'll use instead.

    Bottles from counterpressure filler not very carbonated

    I finally set up my keezer and it includes a boel iTap counterpressure bottle filler. I tried it out and filled a few bottles and it worked fine. I just cracked one open and it's almost flat, way flatter than from the keg. Definitely got a seal on the bottle. When I took it out the itap it made...

    Still active fermentation after 6 weeks

    Yes :). For my wines and ciders I boil water, pour into a measuring jug and wait until the water gets to 30-40°c, then sprinkle in the yeast. Wait 5 mins and stir, then pitch. I also add nutrients by dissolving in boiling water and pouring into the juice before the yeast goes in. I find this...

    Still active fermentation after 6 weeks

    Hi Bob, airlock activity doesn't necessarily mean fermentation activity. Are you able to draw off a sample and take another reading? If there's still some sugars it might be down to stressed yeast. I've found with wine yeast unless I use nutrients fermentation can take long time. I also get...

    Why do we even bother with brown beer bottles?

    I went to a BJCP meeting once where a guy bought 2 bottles of some Czech style pils in green bottles. He kept one in a cool dark cupboard for 2 weeks and another on his window sill. The One kept in the cupboard tasted better, the window sill one tasked dank, and not necessarily in a good way. I...

    Haha, is the CEO driving it over in a limo??? I imagine that £267.77 doesn't include VAT either.
