Gosh haven’t heard that protofloc issue

Grainfather G40 - hardly ever gets stuck. My original question was about maximising hop and their oils dispersal whilst not clouding up the wort. (Im not getting much greater clarity with whirlpooling)

I rather think it is. Been looking at the Mango Jacks and Malt Miller versions.

Ah, mine is near identical. So that gets the vote then 👍🏻

Not sure what the jobber is?

Been recently thwarted by large amounts of hops expanding during brew and becoming close to blocking transfer and clouding the wort. Next batch I used my large hop spider which did the job of containing things but I worry about lack of hop circulation during the mashing? So the question: Hop...

Visited my beer cellar this afternoon- very peaceful, smelling of damp and stale beer. In the quiet, I noticed…..The gentle hiss of the escaping CO2 from my spund valve. What a comforting sound - and so full of promise from a brew that hit all the numbers - an unusual win for me :) The joy of...

Errrrr……

Seems like I need to gear up for supping a mighty sweet ESB. Maybe I’ll pop a cocktail umbrella into it to be in keeping.

Ha ha! I have one of the “fancy computerised” set ups - in my case the Grainfather G40 with full app control. Since I bought it, have yet to do a successful brew - but I’m mostly to blame with daft errors. I’m interested in your lower mash temp and will look into it. After all the GF40 will do...

Fuller’s ESB Clone – Extra Special Bitter

Tricky this cos following the recipe for a “normal” 67C seems so predictable. Seems that a study of yeast characteristics is the only alternative! Never done that having always trusted the recipe (from MM)

At around 18 - 20 degrees for several months

Floating TILT plus manual - both said the same

Don’t know how you find this out, other than going with what Brewfather reports.

Being still newish at all this, I haven’t used this yeast before. I place my faith, as always in the excellent Malt Miller where I got it. The packet certainly looks the real deal! It was marked Exp Jul 2023 but was pitched on 17 Aug - surely this isn’t the problem, as it was very active for 4...

My first brew after a disastrous winter/spring of flooding in my cellar brew area was intended as a reward for “getting back on my horse” after months of absence and the clear up. A Fullers ESB clone was mashed at 67C (1hr then boiled for 1hr). Lallemand London English Style yeast(12g) pitched...
