Thanks for the suggestion Clint. Had a quick look and seems a little busy for me ATM (percentages, temperatures etc), I wouldn't know where to start. Although with experience I'm hoping to use them so looks a decent tool moving forward. Once again cheers Clint, you're a diamond.. For now the...

Thanks for the swift response Clint.... Chinook is 9%. Don't know what the Cascade are as not been delivered yet, but they are US Cascade if that helps. In your opinion is the method there or thereabouts? Cheers fella..

Hello all, Need to bend your ears for a bit with the hope of some helpful feedback. Basically I'm 3 brews in (all kits with instructions but have started to steep, dry hop etc as additions) and am going to start my fourth brew using individual ingredients. The purpose of this next brew day is...

Surfingobo - Just looked at it. Seems simple. Good tip.... Im gonna do that next time.... Much obliged...

Surfingobo - Excuse me ignorance, but how does one purge a bottle with a bicycle tyre inflator?? Sounds relatively easy and cost effective which suits me as I'm a man of slender means. Many thanks in advance..... Cheers..

cheers for the replies both.... Stars-3L per kilo ratio. I will apply to my next. Literally had no idea...

Bump Sorry to hassle everyone. I just really need to know the water volume to grain weight ratio for steeping. I have read lots of conflicting info online ranging from 2 litres of water per kilo of grain up to 8 litres of water per kilo of grain..... Just need to know moving forward. If...

Cheers lads (terrym - thanks for the links). I really appreciate it. I don't want to nause this up.... So general rule, main boil use as much as the pot will handle and only add half the LME (taking care not to burn). I assume this can be translated to DME equivalent? As for steeping grains...

Hi All I have just received delivery of the following kit but unsure how to produce the initial wort. NEIPA Extract Brewing Kit - Get Er Brewed It is a kit containing : 2 x 1.5kg LME Flaked Oats 150g (Steep) Flaked Torrified Wheat 150g (Steep) Muslin bag to steep grains Hops (Each in an...

Cheers for the info hoppy...... Jocky - Just noticed you are not a million miles from me... Don't usually see Surrey posters..

Thanks Jocky. Spray bottle idea sounds great. Will do that. hoppy - What type of container did you keep it in?

Hello all Im about to start my third batch this week (first time steeping grains, boiling hops etc) and I'm going to be using a StarSan style sanitiser for the first time. I'm aware the diluted solution can be reused as long as the ph level is below 3.5. My question is, how do I store the...

BradleyW - Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity what type of alcohol and what method???? Gracias companero. Salud..

Much obliged all. Went for Easyclean.... Brew2bottle have it priced well and delivery is relatively cheap...

S, K & A - Thanks for the feedback.......

K & K - Thanks for the feedback. I will go for StarSan. After some brief research not much actual StarSan is sold online. Mostly alternatives (I assume) such as ChemSan, Chemipro, EasyClean (which West Wind kindly advised above) etc. Are these suitable or should I continue my web search to...

K - Thanks for the reply. I just need something that is easy to use/no rinse/minimal contact time (= I'm a lazy old sod). I just use a plastic fermentation bucket and auto-siphon straight to bottles. So something suitable for ferm bucket (and stirrer etc) & bottles.

Cheers all.... I appreciate your time.. WW - Thanks for that. EasyClean is a StarSan style sanitiser I assume. The type of sanitiser I'm leaning towards. S1546 - Thanks for the reply. I used Milton once my SureSan ran out. Although it's cheap it's too much agg (long rinsing process to remove...

Afternoon all I'm about to order and start my third brew (gonna step up to steeping, boiling/hopping etc) and need to purchase some sanitiser. What do you lot suggest? I want something that is the easiest to use and the least contact time to do the job. Ideally no rinse. I have used SureSan...

Hello all. New home brewer from the East surrey/Croydon area. Just starting out on the intended journey. Two brews in (St Peters Ruby Red & Tiny Rebel Cwtch) and the latter is better than the former so it has retained my interest/enthusiasm. Must say I'm enjoying it, especially the fruits of...
