Tomorrow i have 3 x 40 pint batches of IPA ready to bottle or keg..... My dilemma is which to which with....... I have 2 premium kits one made with 2 cans of malt and the other 3 cans. I also have a Coopers kit with 100g of citra in it. On a rule of thumb would u put your best beers into the...

Without getting answers like its totally your choice how hoppy you like it I am just looking for the average amount of hops would you say would be added to dry hop 40 pint batches? I do like my beers a bit hoppy and tangy. I only make extract beer and only dry hop.

I made my other brew last night around 10pm. A mangrove jack American pale ale 1.7kg extract kit with 1kg brown sugar... itook hydrometer reading at 16 C...and again it read 1032.. I've just taken a reading 12 hours later...I know not ideal with yeast added but it read 1042...the hydrometer is...

Tyvm for your input and advice. Cheers

Ty for reply Galena. I didnt manage to take reading last night I fell asleep lol. But I have just taken a reading this morning around 12 hours after I made. I know the reading may not be totally accurate as the yeast has been added and fermentation has begun...but my reading was 1042.... For...

to be honest with u i am not entirely sure. I brewed to 40 pints. I boiled 6 pints of water and mixed with the 1.7kg extract and 1kg sugar as I always do and topped up to 40 pints with cold water. I dont usually take temp as it always seems to work out just fine. Is there any point in an hour...

I broke my trusted hydrometer a few weeks ago and purchased a new one. I used it tonight for the first time and and confused with what I seen . I am no home brew expert and keep it simple brewing extract kits and dry hopping. This evening I made a mangrove jack 1.7kg real ale kit and added 1kg...

can anyone tell me if this stainless steel conversion pack will work with my s30 brass fitting or not? ty

I have heard you can buy a product that converts a s30 valve into one suitable for 8grm bulbs......however is it true that you can only do this with the stainless steel version and not the brass?.

excuse my ignorance but what ratios would u estimate I'll need to use to properly add to taste and prime 40pints.. I do enjoy treacle and wouldnt mind a stronge taste. The tin is 454g of lyles black treacle. So how much sugar would I also need to add if I used half the tin or the full tin?

yes i understand that ... i have made stout with treacle before but added at the beginning. i am just wondering for taste purposes would it be possible to add on bottling day? if so would u boil it in some warm or boiling water first then stir into bottling bucket prior to bottling or wouldn't...

I have an extract Stout I am ready to bottle would it be ok to add treacle to it before I bottle. I know this will have no effect on abv but will it enhance the flavour or should this have been done at an earlier stage? If adding is ok can I ask how long for as I would really love to have it at...

i dont actually live in the city itself im a few miles outside in lanarkshire in a large housing scheme....

its a fairly new wooden shed (3 years old) 8' x '8 its in a position where the sun gets to it most of the day It has a wooden osb board floor + tongue and groove chipboard which I put on top....Iplan to line the walls and roof with osb but that wont be until next summer..The shed flooring sits...

I had a bit of a problem ABV wise as the OG was only 1070 and finished at 1000 which I think is around 10% I added (as advised on here) 400g sugar water mixture to 5 gallons to try get the alcohol a bit higher. Whether it has or hasn't I dont know...........But I dont think a shed goes to those...

First of all I live in Glasgow area so I don't live in the far north of the country. I've just bottled 30 bottles or merlot & 30 bottles of nebbiolo. My wine rack under the stairs holds 24 bottles which is fine but I don't have any room for more. My bigger wine rack which I have never used is...

JCR I am in no way trying to disrespect the baron quite the opposite. I appreciate everyone on here who take the time and effort to reply to my queries I really do. After starting at 1070 and ending 1000 with the addition of 400g in half pint water would you in your old hand, knowledgeable way...

really disappointed to note that possibly I have after taking "The Barons" kind advice actually reduced my ABV... Hopefully not and without going into technical jargon away above my understanding I was just looking for a general consensus opinion that with the numbers of my og and fg and the...

I understand that using a hydrometer at this stage is now pointless...but ''the baron" kindly advised that using approx 400g to 5 gallon should increase my wine by around 1% from around 10% to 11%. I also only used around a half pint of cooled down boiled water which hopefully has increased...

I have just taken a reading and even after adding the nutrient a few days ago it remains at 1000. It started at 1070 and ended at 1000 So according to the charts its 9.19%. Will this prob be the true final ABV after adding 400g of sugar that fermented like a bomb or will it likely be slightly...
