Time for another brew in time for our anniversary party but think I'm going ott with this recipie. This is a 10l batch: 89.9% 2.5kg golden promice (ebc 5) 8.3% 230g wheat malt (ebc 4) 1.8% 50g what flaked (3 ebc) 10g brambling Cross @ 60m 20g cf184 @ 5m 20g cf184 @0m - hopstand 15mins -70deg...

Thanks all. I decided that as they had been sat (on the floor, shelf or bucket) post fall for a while (1hr+) so any extra pressure would have disapated... One has a hairline crack so has gone in the bin, the rest has no obvious damage so will probably go in the bin after drinking.. Though may...

Soon my cats have managed to get into my celler and have knocked a box of beers down :( Have lost 3 bottles, I've not had a chance to inspect the other glass bottles that were in the box yet.. I was planning of removing the labels and shining a torch to see Aby obvious damage- any tips or...

I think this is the issue for a 10l batch u really need either 12 or 13l capacity. I think mine has a 12l total capacity... so I guess I should ask about a 12-15 l total capacity fermenter - doh

The These do look tempting. And may be a 'easy' keg for later

Wow that looks full! I think I need to measure what mine is now, as a good number of brews tye krausen fills the head room..

That may be the slippery slope into kegging ;)

I'm doing 10l batches, currently don't feel it's worth doing bigger ones as I'm still 'green' in my brews..

I've lost confidence in my current fermenter so want to get a new one. Can someone recommend a plastic 10l fermenter please? Thanks

I know what your saying, I only fancied a half last night and assumed it would be v obvious so just poured a half. When it wast obvious I poured more. Today's beer is inconclusive- poured most of a pint and poured the rest into another glass... Apart from a strong bitterness I cannot get any...

Well I'm more confused. I've had a quick taste of one of the bottles I've marked for sending out. Pours very clear (was supposed to be cloudy), the first glass you get the bitter mango but no 'off flavours' 2nd glass and there's a bit of a metallic bitterness to it. 3rd glass is cloudy with a...

Hi, I think I've found the problem - though I've still not tasted the beer I have played with my inkbird to compare it with my food temp probe. It shows between 1C and 3c out vs the temp probe. Though it's probably within the margin or error it's reading 23deg in my kitchen... So I'm going to...

I think the raising of temp may have just caused it to go over temp. As I would have expected the beer to have changed over time - I still have a few bottles that I had recently. I think I need fo brew the same recipie a few times, changing only my process to work out what what's going on.

I have poor signal where I am so not all of my reply are being posted :( Looking at others I've brewed where I've had a bit of astringentcy the mash pH has been high. Thinking back to even sharks clone I did which is great apart from 'something' it tasted ok till I did a dyactal rest. So I...

I did use elmhurst for this, with the hoppy light profile that has a 258 bicarbonate (hco3). I guess I need to find out more about the use of the target profiles again.

I've had covid several times but only lost my taste once, though I know my pallet isn't great. I'll be having a bottle on Sunday when I'm back to taste. I only bottle condition (currently)

It depends on where I can get to and what I need, is normaly tesco ashbank, asda elmhurst or sainsbury.

I use a mix depending on where I can get to or what I need. So tesco ashbank, asda elm
