I think I'll add just a tiny bit of bottling yeast with the colder weather coming in. I store mine under the stairs. Always a bit colder than the rest of the house but seems to be very stable. Yeap... I was going to add a bit more nutrients than usual. I recently seen a guy that just chucks in...

Just get your kit over time. I got into AG pretty quick after starting with extracts but I took about a year and a half getting my current set up together. Obviously the BZ was a big outlay but I didn't buy anything for a few months after that. Plenty of other options to an all in one but...

Probably asking a daft question but do you have the spunding valve the right way around? The gas can only flow in one direction.

Are you getting any carbonation out of your samples before checking the gravity? It might be still fermenting away but at 10 days I doubt it. Open the spunding valve right off, pull your PRV for a bit to let the high pressure out and then start tightening in the spunding valve to get the PSI...

I was planning to do something like that with my Fermzilla. 2 or 3 days like as you say (I've heard these gas hard), then add the bubbler post for the rest and after that, swap for the gas post to push the beer oxygen free into bottles using my carb cap. Did you need to add any additional yeast...

I'm going with two packs of MJ M31 (Brewfather calc). I would have thought one would be enough but I want to give it the best chance I can.

Seems another sensible way to get the temp down but it's the aeration I'm more worried about. For a Tripel would a good shake in the cube do the job? I haven't done one before but at 1.080 OG I'm assuming you need it fairly oxygenated.

Welcome. Good to see another NI brewer.

Hi, I'm brewing a small batch Tripel this weekend and only dawned on me that the chiller that came with my Brewzilla won't be much use to this 12 litre batch. I'm thinking to transfer the wort to my 25l no-chill cube and place that in another tub with some ice & water. I was then thinking that...

Can I ask why you wouldn't boil it? I just made my first sauce (searched here for Xanthan gum because of it separating) and boiled mine. My understanding is that it stops the fermentation makes things much easier to blend and ensures its safe.

I think I've found a new favourite. Beautiful beer.

My raspberry wheat beer.

Just had a quote for mine and it's about 35%+. Nothing has changed but another year's NCB. Paid my house insurance yester and it was almost double from last year. Times ain't great.

As long as it's drinkable I know what to do with it 😂

Yeah, could be complete cowboy stuff but lots of good reviews and I'll get a couple of packs of yeast as backup. He who dares.

Time to get planning 🤟🏻

15%.

In fairness that was the first time I used M66 so probably reacts differently to what I'm used to.

Yes, force carb. I get that it's dregs, I just haven't seen it anywhere near as dark as that except for my stouts.

Hi, My keg of NEIPA just kicked and this was what came out of the end of it. I did notice that the keg was losing pressure (dismantled then cleaned keg & disconnects but forgot to lube after), the beer lost it's brightness but was fine. It tasted and smelled good just, what I believe to be, a...
