I am just about to have a ‘work enforced’ dry spell, because of being in an environment where alcohol isn’t allowed in place of being told I’m not allowed to drink. This made me think about my brewing schedule, something I have never thought about before as I tend to only think about one brew...

I use mine on my cooking top (mainly so I can use the extractor fan/hood). Never had a problem.

Fantastic, sorry it took so long to get them to the post office. I hope you enjoy!!!! Let me know what you think.

It’s in the bottle, it’s aged well and now ready to send. I’ll get them sent this week, once received can I have your comments in this post.

Thanks @Brew2bottle Homebrew and we’ll done @Oneflewover (only 4 away!!!! Lol) and @RGeats

Count me in for a snub nose (only because I can’t fit the other in my fermentation fridge). I’ve been looking at pressure fermentation for the speed and security, loving the hazy IPA at the moment but oxidised one and success with one. This would help alleviate the risk.

Nice one and well done @jjsh.

I think it’s an ITC-308, very jealous of all the people with the WiFi version, it’s my next most needed item that I don’t actually need (my last one was a tilt, I’ve never looked back). I also have an STC that needs wiring, but that will be for my brew vessel. As sad as it sounds I only have...

I ran it through brewing software and the tilt confirmed the following morning.

Do you then cold crash to settle the hops before racking?

Just popped the first of two dry hops: Citra and Calypso, 40g each. Was even tempted to top crop some of the yeast, but didn’t have the kit to hand. Do people use hop bags or just throw them in?

OG came in at 1.067, so if this ends at the expected 1.011 it’ll be a 7.6% 🥳🤩🥴 I’ll get the yeast in once it’s fully cooled.

Flame out hops in, I’ll see this badger in the morning.

First hop addition at 20 min

We’ve reached a boil, I think I’ve over sparged.

Post Mash gravity is 3 points higher than expected, might have something to do with the extra 500g of Crystal I added by accident.

The excitement got to me and I decided to brew the black IPA this weekend (helped by rapid delivery of the hops and subsequent grain order).

Ben, once again thank you for the order. It arrived today and I can’t wait to get brewing. Plan to do a Black IPA and in the spirt of the give away I’m happy to send two bottles out, if honest reviews are returned. First two people to comment in this post after me seems fitting. Whoever posts...

Absolutely over the moon, I never win. Thanks.

That said I seem to struggle to brew anything less that 5%x even when I try. I like the chef analogy.
