    Fuel prices..

    Fuel price is lower because a barrel of oil has dropped to under $30.

    iSpindel Digital WiFi Hydrometer

    Got my hands on one of these wee gadgets from a gent on another brewing page. http://www.ispindel.de/docs/README_en.html He assembles them (which includes the tricky soldering, etc), flashes the software and loads in a base calibration. They're shipped without a battery (due to posting...

    Yeast help needed!!

    Definitely the best thing if you've concerns about rehydration temperature. Good luck.

    Yeast help needed!!

    If you're confident the yeast wasn't damaged in anyway (rehydrated too hot, etc) then you can rouse the yeast. I'd be inclined to take a gravity sample first though; as already stated - it may well be working fine. If the gravity is very close to OG, then go mad with the stirring shaking. O2...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Quick question: Would it not be more socially, economically, medically and financially appropriate to have the "high risk and/or vulnerable" at home in isolation and let the rest of the "healthy" population deal with the virus as we would with every other strain of flu as per normal? Excuse my...

    HBF Home Brew Competition Schedule 2020

    Can we assume the same for May? Is it judges discretion I'm assuming? Only asking as I won't bother putting down a brew before returning to work on Wednesday otherwise. Hope everyone is safe and well.

    Dry Hops - Filtering?

    Sound advice! The best bit about winter is cold crashing without using energy and taking up fermentation fridge space!

Well done again, both...

    February Forum Competition - Dark Beers

    Give the guy a break gents. It takes time and a lot of effort to provide that much feedback. Well done @Grizzly Notations, you’re juggling a lot to get the feedback out. Hats off to you.

    Grainfather Cleaning

    I would say cleaning is unnecessary prior to brewing. Make a good job post brewing, dry thoroughly and then put a bin bag over your unit. That’s what I do, as my unit is left in place on its stand in the garage. Can work on my motorbike and other projects in the garage and not have to worry...

    Purging Corny kegs

    Straight away. Minimising contact time with oxygen is the idea. So delaying it any isn’t ideal. Beer straight into the keg (no filling with CO2 before hand). Lid on, gas disconnect on, fill it with C02 then burp the PRV half a dozen times or so for about a second each time. Quite fancy trying...

    Best type of airlock/blow off for Make your own red wine kit

    Try one of these buckets. Not only are they 30L, but they’re also only about 30cm tall. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/332229228698 The extra headspace will handle any degree of liveliness in a 23L batch and also give you headroom for any airlock of your...

    Ghillie's Keezer Build Thread

    Hey pal, Great news you can get 4 kegs in, that's ace! So you'll be wanting 4 taps? This is more or less what I have in mine (but 5 not 4) and I'm happy with it all. Links are from two sites, mainly for reference - but shop around (eBay, etc) and you could save a few quid! Taps - x4...
