just tried necking a pint out of a straight glass, then another out of a tulip glass, then a pint out of tankard, then a pint out of a tall lager glass, another out of a straight glass, one out of tulip followed swiftly by another out of the drip tray Conclusions - none other than it was fun -...

Long brew day but it was a late start. Got 80L at 1046 until I dumped about 4 litres of cold break trub out of the bottom of the FV. Final recipe as follows. photos tomorrow 80L brew length, 90 min mash and 90 min boil. OG: 1.044 SG Estimated Color: 6.9 EBC Estimated IBU: 34.6 IBUs 7.00 kg...

How about dry hopping with the remaining 60g of Nelson Sauvin? As it only follows Alemans recipe in the proportion of grain I might call this Sauvin Stunner.

I've decided to make a brew loosely based on Alemans' Effin Lancashire Blonde. I don't have over 300g of Styrian goldings (or fuggles substitute to hand) but i do have 200g of very fresh Nelson Sauvin. I dont have lager malt but I do have pilsner malt, I don't have Safalae S05 yeast but I do...

what do you think? fact or fiction?

Just come back from the Quiet Site near Pooley Bridge, Ullswater. Great place , the kids loved it. Arrival was a bit embarrassing, arrived when it was raining and parked on a slope outside the office, the receptionist came out of the office in her sou'wester and walked down the the campsite to...

its £2.50 for 5 gallon of RO water round at my local garden/pet centre - even better bargain and zero minerals :D

A stunner sounds like a brew to try - no guarantees with a SWMBO though ;) I've seen this recipe by Darcy and this one by 46.philh Both need lager malt, however I fannied around too long with my order to the malt miller and missed the last 25kg sack of Crisp lager malt but they add most of...

the graphing looks like rrdtool I used to use it to graph network bandwidth many years ago. there's a very similar one called something like Cricket that was better with large data sets however things have probably moved on since then. EDIT My memory has just been jogged. The reason rrdtool...

I've made a variety of ales but none to her taste, however most have been towards the IPA style. She does like various beers from bitters, lagers, blonde summer ales, wheat beers and belgian fruit beers. I suspect thinner paler beers with a bit of sweetness and citrussy hops may go down well...

Took the youngest to Todmorden market while the eldest and GF went to a dance class, met up with the rest and had lunch in the Bear cafe, its veggie and I'm predominantly a carnivore however the food is great so I don't miss the meat. After lunch we all piled into the fields and pulled up...

Here's the bottom of my FV so you can see the angle of the dangle. You can also see the sediment line just above the take-off tap, this is an 80L brew using S04 yeast. It looks worse than it is as the sediment is higher up the sides than it is in the middle and the SS bulkhead connectior...

Very handy to know :D I'm happy with my 120L plastic conical, I can measure the angle on this if you wish. My only gripes are that sometimes when I open the 1/2" BSP fulll bore tap at the bottom after a brew, the yeast cake doesn't want to come out so I have to wiggle a bit of wire up it and...

Excellent - this a post adaptor and a dip tube. There must be other applications too - maybe other kegs that would benefit fron QDs?

I think this may solve it :hmm: its a Cornie post adaptor - you can then stick a post anywhere, looks like it might seal in a pressure vessel

Good question - (good) pubs clean their lines at least once a week and it takes me more than a week to sink a cornie - unless the mates come round I can now as I have 7 to fill but intend to brew every couple of weeks for the next few to get a stock ready for winter - I won't be brewing as...

Here's my summer bitter the weird thing is that when I took the beer away I got this :wha:

Cheers Kev, I'll have to have a bit of a think :hmm:

Seeing as the cellar in the barn is always aboiut 12c and I dont drink much lager, I dont really need a kegaerator for the cornies, just a tap on the outside of the cellar. As I don't particularly want a bar in the barn, it would get in the way, I decided to wall mount the tap. Here's the...

Will do, just trying to find out where to buy a liquid out post without a cornie attached :D I can in the US and I'm probably going over there soon, there is a lot of choice - see here not sure if its a Firestone or Cornie or either - I think they both fit the same QD, just slightly different...
