    Coopers 500ml PET Beer bottles

    I bought 4 crates when I started brewing 6 years ago. Used many times. None have leaked and they have kept their fizz.

    Boris Johnson Warns Of Need To 'Endure' High Energy Bills To Defeat 'Evils Of Putin'

    I know we're not supposed to say it but we are sort of at war, a proxy war at least.

    Pitching Rate For Gelatine

    I like using a syringe to add priming sugar and finings to bottles. I've been transfering from FV to bottling bucket and bulk priming in the process but I'm planning to bottle straight from FV so will try the syringe.

    Pitching Rate For Gelatine

    I've never used post boil finings in beer but I've bought some to try out. I've noticed when I BIAB stove top, if I chuck everything from the boil into the fermenter including protofloc, trub, the lot, the beers come out clear and bright. I think there is a Brulosophy that found the same. I'm...

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    I liked The Responder. I would say not entirely bleak. 'Chloe' on iplayer is good.

    Edward Colston statue case could be sent to appeal court

    There wasn't much objection to removing Jimmy Savile statues that commemorated his charitable work. Why keep statues of slavers? Makes no sense to me.

    Lalbrew London - suggested next steps?

    Are we talking about the Lallemand London ESB yeast? I used that once and still have a sachet. I don't plan to use it again because it stopped at out 1020 and after 3 weeks I bottled it. Then it restarted big time. I had to loosen the bottle lids and leave in the bath for a few days. Ended about...

    Butty Bach ESB

    Butty Bach ESB

    There a recipe and kit for butty bach from malt Miller here that I'm planning Butty Bach Clone | The Malt Miller And perhaps no coincidence I'm also planning an ESB clone but swapping the LALLEMAND London ESB Yeast after a disastrous experience for WLP002 - my first use of liquid yeast (do...

    I wonder if one of you would be very kind and tell me the external height with the lid off and recirculation pipe removed. Also the external diameter. I'm struggling to find these measurements online and I'm short of storage in my flat.... 35L version..

    Have a go at simple AG

    Yes, and the boil is both batches of water (wort). If you have two pots, you could pre-heat the second warmer batch of water then as you have a bag, lift bag and grain out of first pot at 60m, leaving wort in the pot and dunk the bag with grain into second pot with preheated water. Wait 10 mins...

    Have a go at simple AG

    Hi Smokinmesa, what you are doing is setting aside (by pouring off) the water (wort) you have made first by sitting the grainand water for an hour. Then you add more water at higher temperature to the grain that's left in the original vessel to get more of the sugar and malt out to increase...

    Have a go at simple AG

    Thanks richie_asg1, (Richie?) The wort is extra stong during boil in readiness for dilution. I read earlier in this thread about doing that to increase batch size beyond capacity of stock pot. Came out at 1.064 from boil and 1.052 in FV, bit strong for Pride really, maybe it will be ESB! I...

    Have a go at simple AG

    Thanks again for this thread. I tried AG BIAB autumn 2018 and made 6 stove top batches before weather got too warm for fermentation. In November 2019 I bought a 25Kg bag of Simpson's Maris Otter and got my 4th batch into FV yesterday. Its great, got PH meter, buffer colutions, salifert kits...

    Youngs American IPA

    I would say bottle IPA and barrel cwtch. The IPA comes with a lot of carbonation sugar and was great as a fizzy brew. I've had draft cwtch and that was great.

    Youngs American IPA

    I tried it every week or so after a few weeks carbonating. I guess bottled a couple of months ago. The citrus scent / flavour has eased off. I chucked hops in without hop bag. Some hop fragments made it through the bottler into the bottles. Quite clear now, good carbonation and fair head retention.

    Youngs American IPA

    This is my favourite kit so far. I only recently started drinking modern heavily hopped beer (that can taste a lot like grapefruit juice..) having been firmly committed to brown, warm and flatish ales. I've made 10 or more kits and about 6 small scale all grains. I wanted a couple of quick kit...
