Animals will eat spend grains with roasted malts in them, I can personally testify to this as I used to feed my spent grains to pigs. I suspect the case is that as a product spent grains with no roasted malts have a higher monetary value as animal feed.

I think we can agree that the debate is over - not drinking beer is fatal.

Isn't "key" a bit like "upto" in legal terms, aka meaningless? "This car is up to 10% efficient" (it isn't more efficient in normal use). "These are our four key ingredients (not including sheep's brains which aren't really key. We just bung them in)

Vegemite has higher amounts of vitamins B1, B2, and B9, but less B3 than Marmite and no B12.

So Ive now watched the bit I missed. Interesting program. What struck me is what a marketing phenomenon Guinness is. Among some of its fans, its ye olde Guinness the authentic alternative to crap Marco lager ("It tastes so different in Ireland, dont you know"); but is in fact a huge macro...

It will help in my experience, but perhaps leave it a bit longer than overnight.

Interesting fact - I use percarbonate to clean, then Videne (Iodine based) no rinse to sanitise . If you don't rinse after the percarbonate, it "bleaches" the iodine color from the Videne instantly.

Ahh! That's what they do. I was watching the bit with the main mash, then had to leave the room to check something on the wife's car, and when I came back they were talking about hops, so I wondered how the blonde wort got black. I'll have to watch that bit on catchup.

Ferment it out in a 2L pop bottle?

(Warning Warning, controversial opinon coming up alert.... ) Thats because there are a while raft of small cask producers now who should have stuck to banking. (Ducks :D)

Beoir is apparently "very similar to a Mauribrew yeast - Draught"

I use a immersion chiller, and it causes lots of what I assume is proteins that have been clumped by the protofloc to drop out. With an counterflow or plate chiller, does this not happen? If so, is protofloc a waste of time with these types of chillers?

I have two, and think they are great. The bottom stand bits come off if they are a bit tall for your fermenting fridge. I'm going to be fitting thermowells to mine.

I think I may have told this tale before, but here goes. About ten years ago, I brewed a batch of elderberry wine, and had racked it into its first demijohn. Then, I went away for the weekend to Nottingham, for a wedding I think. While I was their I purchased a nice shirt (again, if memory...

I appreciate tap water isn't pure, but 1.004 seems high to me, given it should read 1.000 in pure water?

I'm looking at a Mybrewbot to provide some level of automation and logging to my brewery. Does anyone here have experience of owning one who can offer any words of wisdom? How well does it integrate with Brewfather, for instance?

So, we aren't worried about copper then? 🤣

Glad it's sorted!

Your going to be so disappointed when you get to the Effes 🤣

Interesting one this. I had a Wilko (Rip) Cervesa kit that someone gave me for Christmas ages ago. It was going out of date so I thought I'd have a play with it. So I added 1kg of beer enhancer, 500g light spray malt, 500g of dark spray malt, a tin of T&L BlackTreacle and I think 500g if...
