There are plenty of "homebrew" IoT examples on the web (for example IoT Home Beer Keg Scale) So if you are handy with a soldering iron you can roll your own for a tenth of the price. I've already had some load cells delivered from China - now it's just finding the time to put one together.

I first heard about the combination of the "same" base malts on a Brewing Network podcast - I think it was one of the Brew Strong ones with Jamil. I did try it out on a couple of brews when I was using up some bits & bobs and it seemed to work out. Nowadays I order exactly what I need for each...

Title says it all. Like many things in my life the kveik hype has slightly passed me by. However, I want to try it out soon - what are the best styles for this yeast? and what's the best temperature for fermentation - does it need to be controlled or just pitch at a certain temperature and let...

I grow Cascade and Fuggles in half barrels next to the shed. I did make a beer with the Fuggles two seasons back, but the alpha acid content must have been lower than average and the beer came out much too sweet. As others have mentioned it's better to grow in (big) pots do they don't spread...

I think it's actually a bit more complex than that - Nottingham would be higher than S-04 alone, but both together I'd expect to be higher than Nottingham alone. I think you'd have to choose a fermentation temperature wisely if you wanted estery flavours from S-04 because you'd need a higher...

Yep just aerate and sling it in. I always make a starter to make sure there's plenty of yeast (viability) and it ready to go from the start (vitality) but for ales it's mostly not really needed, lagers generally benefit from multiple packs or a starter.

I got food grade CO2 from them a few years back - that's what the label said anyway... I had a leak so had to take an emergency 13kg bottle from them for a BBQ! Give them a ring I'm sure they'll be able to help - otherwise there is an adams gas in Luton.

My understanding is that the different yeasts will have slightly different metabolisation pathways and this is why you end up with more attenuation. You'll also find if you use a mixture of pale malt you'll get better attenuation due to the different enzymes on the different malts - even with...

It will be fine for a week or two. Make sure it is well shaken/mixed before you pitch the first half. For 5l you won't really need a starter.

I doubt it will make much of a difference. A commercial brewery I know well, use a 50/50 mix of S-O4/Nottingham for their beers - I know because I blagged 2l of slurry from them for a brew of my own. You'll likely get more attenuation than just using one or the other.

ok good news about @Get_Er_Brewed - mind you it does mean I'll have to do a spreadsheet for each order again to get the best deal....

Apologies but I'm too lazy to read the full thread - but are there any Brexit related issues ordering from GEB at the moment? I got my last order from MM to be on the safe side. GEB/MM/CML are all great suppliers and I use them all

I like S04 - but Lallemand Nottingham is an even better choice for any style of ale, but particularly British ales - it will also drop clear.

I used WLP067 Coastal Haze Blend as it was the only NEIPA style yeast MM had in stock when I ordered. I think liquid yeasts make a difference even when good dry alternatives are available. I still make plenty of beers with dry yeast though, as it's sometimes more convenient. This beer made it...

For me Ahtanum hops are the key flavour for Punk IPA - so anything with late additions of these

I followed the info in the DIY DOG pdf. So I doughed in @68c for a 75 min step, and then mashed out @77c for 15mins. No hop additions in the boil. Then after a 60 min boil - when the temp was less than 85c I added 33g Mosaic and let it steep for 30mins then I cooled and transferred to the FV and...

I use the same (or sometimes still Beersmith) using my water company's water report from their website and the generic target profiles yellow balanced/ amber bitter etc from Brunwater Download Bru'n Water

I use a 10" cartridge filter BWT High Capacity Water Filter Kit on the end of the hose and then phosphoric acid + brewing salts as needed from there

I got some of these - Wine Bottle Crate Not cheap but solid and stackable - will fit 750ml bottles too.
