Asian supermarkets sell frozen ones, best value. Everyday supermarkets sell them too, usually dried ones but they are more expensive

I have a fullhorn !!!

I've added a handful of Kaffir Lime Leaves at 5min left in the boil, along with using Sorachi Ace, was a great beer, finishes real dry with Saison yeast.

I got an official Grainfather false bottom and it’s more trouble than I thought, I’ve stopped using it now, I’ve had several brews where I think it’s mainly proteins that block the holes, it then gets so hot that it causes the worst burning I’ve ever had and the element safety switch constantly...

For my big beers I let them sit in the fermenter for two weeks, was surprised to see such a fall so quickly, but not unusual it seems

I have recently brewed a double IPA , its gone from 1.070 to 1.012 in just two days, sample taken today because I can’t see any airlock activity. Two packs of CML Kentucky, fermented under the stairs so at approximately 20°c. That’s the fastest fermentation I’ve ever seen.

Hi, I bought a pack from Waitrose, about 125g, put the whole lot straight into the fermenter after fermentation had finished, which was after approximately 3 weeks, then leave them in the fermenter for a further two weeks. Cold crashed and transferred the beer to secondary fermenter, batch...

Out of interest is there a minimum aging time recommended?

Thankfully today’s brew went like clockwork, super clear wort, no burning, hit my numbers, chuffed. I was owed one.

The bottom plate falls through, I once dumped all the grain back into the vessel when lifting pipe out to sparge

Yep that's why I fancied bottling so I can leave them for different periods of time to see how ageing improves it, plus I don't want to put a keg out of actions for months.

Thanks, I used 1 pack of WHC Lax and 1 pack of Verdant IPA yeast, as per instructions on MM’s website

Hello, I started to ferment my first ever stout a month ago. It’s been at 1.022 for the last week so I think it’s done. Started at 1.080, it did finish a bit higher than expected but I tasted the sample and it tastes great, not too sweet at all, and the cacao nibs have delivered a subtle...

Nice work by the likeminded, cheers

That makes sense, I do keep a supply of DME to hand as with bigger beers efficiency suffers and I often add a bit to hit the expected OG

But long enough to turn it into wallpaper paste !

Thanks much appreciated, i've got the genuine Grainfather false bottom that came out recently, been fine until this brew day,

Mash schedule was:- Protein Rest 55c for 10mins 60mins at 65c 10mins 75c mashout then onto the boil

It was during the boil not the mash, so no malt pipe.

Hi, It’s a clone recipe of an American IPA by Hoppin Frog. 8%, which is big but also very good when I have made it before. Water volume is 24.3L mash and 8.67L sparge
