    'Seeds'? .. in my brew

    Definitely is... I drew some off and put in a glass as you'll see. Certainly very seed like. Going to have to come out somehow. Any ideas? "][/URL]

    'Seeds'? .. in my brew

    Checked my Amarillo brews today and seem to have dozens if not more of tiny seed like particles in them. From the photo, ignore the whiteish foamy bits, inbetween there are little specks and these are they! Mostly on the surface but seem to be underneath too. Never had this before and I'm not...

    How to filter the my homebrew?

    Been good on the natural clearing front with my pale brews so far. I use a protofloc 10/15 mins before the end but other than that, just let them sit and wait in a cool dark place seems to do the trick. I bottle so pour carefully and leave the bit of gunk behind.

    Blending beer... anyone done it?

    Just to add to the dilema of chucking, shelving or blending in the glass, the brew was supposed to be towards a street party in July! Guess I could stick with the 2nd brew if it turns out ok and pass that around. Shelve the 8%er and let it sit to see how it turns out later in the year. The...

    Blending beer... anyone done it?

    Just wondered if this was something anyone has tried? I asked because I've made 2 batches of Amarillo pale. The first one I got wrong (in terms of volume/strength). It's going to be way too hefty in abv for a simple pale (probably about 8%). So I knocked up a second which will hopefully be a bit...

    Brewing decent beer, but...

    I'm at a very basic set up! Peco boiler and converted cool box mash tun . Sparge through a shower hose and head. Worked well enough for these first 5 brews, efficiency now I use brewers friend's calculator seems to be between 70 and 75%

    Brewing decent beer, but...

    Im not taking time to write down my figures as I go through the process so need to rectify that! I presumed it fell short when I didn't top up (liquor back) after sparging? To achieve the correct BG reading ? If this figure was way off and was corrected by the additional water, the volume would...

    That happy first bottle feeling

    It's an obvious thread but the joy of cracking open that first bottle (if temptation has been resisted before it's 'officially' ready) and it's carbed up lovely, looks delightful and tastes wonderful! Just wanted to share in picture form my best brew out of 5 so far.. A clone of Mikkellers...

    Brewing decent beer, but...

    .. more by luck than judgement maybe! My last brew fell way short of the (volume) mark and I simply need to know if I could have topped up with pre boiled water (is the technical term 'liquor back'?) I forgot to measure the pre boil gravity and I'm guessing it was way off given my...

    Still learning @ AG#5

    I'm on my AG #5 and still haven't got the hang of it but have made some decent beers even with mistakes thrown into the equation! It frustrates me though, I'm not an ***** yet still can't seem to fathom out efficiency be that the mash or complete efficiency. A simple step I have seemed to have...

    Goliat by To Ol

    May build up to this biggie with a few more hefty ish brews first. My local supplier is well stocked for most requirements. When I haven't been able to get something, these guys have sorted me out and good postage rates too.. https://www.hopandgrape.co.uk/

    Goliat by To Ol

    Havent laid my hands on one yet no . I thought it would be sweet. I've recently found a love for milk stouts and just done their (Mikkellers) milk stout clone. Can you compare it to any other?
