Thanks beercat. Do you think I need to add a small amount of wheat? I don't usually like wheat in beer but I had a cloudwater at weekend and it was amazing and I believe that has wheat in it

I'm tempted by this too, saving for a grainfather but could get this now. Like the idea of the counter flow chiller and app control with the grainfather though.

I've been using 2 to make sure they're ok. Got good results with it and they're cheap. The above 10 min additions get me 21ibu but in reality I'll probably get more from the flameout hops too. It'll be around 25l. I'm trying without bittering hops as an experiment as some beers I've tried...

Wash it straight away. Soak anything too dirty in oxy clean( the laundry stain remover stuff). You can get it from wilkco or Lidl. Just try to get unperfumed and rinse well

I've got a hop spider I've been using, it's great got it from bridgewater brewing. There's a discount code on here( can't remember how much it was). Although I brew Biab and I've just bought an extra bag to use instead on my next brew. I'm starting to do a lot more flameout hop additions and I'm...

Hi here's the recipe for my next beer any advice on anything I should add or take away? As sometimes I miss the obvious. 5250g Maris otter 300g caramalt 500g flaked oats 15g each of galaxy,mosaic and citra at 10 min 75g each of galaxy,mosaic and citra at 0 min 60g each of galaxy, mosaic...

I don't yet have a grainfather as I'm still saving. But the complete lack of second hand ones for sale must tell a story about how good they are

Is this the old version, do you think?

How much was that? And where from?

Ah, I thought I needed to input the temp after cold crashing. I take it I just prime as I would usually. Does cold crashing affect hop intensity after dry hopping?

I was thinking of cold crashing my latest brew when it finishes fermenting. Never bothered doing this up to now but wanted to see if it makes any difference. I've checked Brewer's Friend priming calculator and it says to use less than 1g of sugar per 500ml bottle. Does this sound right?

I'd ordered crystal from malt miller. I should have checked but really I needed pale crystal. Hopefully be ok. It's made now and in fermenting fridge at 17c with 2 packs of cross my loof American pale ale yeast. Just have to wait and see

It was just less than half the bag. So pretty much what you said

Its boiling as we speak. Hopefully it'll turn out ok. Went with about 200g

Nice one, I've just got to save up for mine now

I'm going to only put about 200g of the crystal as I mistakenly ordered the wrong malt should have been pale crystal, hopefully this will be ok

Ha ha. Not quite

I can add more cascade if anyone thinks it nesasary

I'm going to make a BIAB clone of Sierra Nevada pale ale. It's going to be more heavily hopped than most clones I've seen. Here's the recipe if anyone's interested 5100g Maris otter 500g crystal malt 17g magnum hops at 60 min 16g perle hops at 30 min 50g cascade at 10 min 70g cascade at...

Had to go shopping for my few days off. Nothing ready of my own.
