    What is your favourite yeast for a bitter?

    I have been brewing a lot of pale ales and APAs recently. I brewed a bitter using 3rd gen Imperial Dry Hop A24. I was a bit disappointed as it left a sweetish finish. Which is fine in APA's but not in a bitter. I have ordered West Yorkshire for my next brew which will loosely be related to TT...

    Do you use a specific Recipe?

    I got my 1st recipe from the label of Saltaire Cascade. It listed the grain and the hops also the ABV. Turned out nice but low on IBU's. Ever since I just make recipes up. Would love to do a TT Landlord that tasted of TT Landlord. Anybody get to try TT Havercake over Christmas, it was the best...

    What did you brew today?

    Just added the yeast to one of my APA recipes and enjoying a cup of tea before the big wash up. 46 litres and 1.046OG instead of expected 1.042. I also lost less on the boil.

    Whirlpool additions a waste of time?

    I have never whirlpooled for aroma and flavour, but I have a home made hopback which gives great results. I can put up to 400 grams in. I fill the hopback with hot wort 98 C for ten minutes then let it flow through the hopback and the cooler, then I jug into FV for primery oxygenation. This is...

    Adding Hops to Corny Keg

    I have. But never smoked it. Most of my pale ales are hopped in the keg. I have a roll of muslin tube I just cut a length off sterilise it along with 2 tie wraps. Chuck in the hops in the bag up to 200 gms sometimes, I used to anchor it down with a sterile cobble but don't bother now. I...

    Hambleton Bard to doscontinue s30 refills

    Although I have a CO2 cylinder I still use s30 cylinders, as it's a way of purging equipment that is out of reach of my main CO2 cylinder. I have been thinking of a way to refill the S30 cylinders from my main CO2 cylinder not only as a cost saving exercise , but my nearest shop is 35 miles...

    What are you drinking tonight.

    Timothy Taylor's Havercake 4.7%. It's a beautiful robust beer, a bit like Landlord on steroids.

    Mixed beer

    As I brew 46 litre batches and use 19 litre kegs I always have some beer left over. I used to bottle it, but now I just mix it with other beers. I had 12 litres of an OK beer and 4 litres of a descent beer. I added the two together and guess what: ONE OF THE MOST AMASSING BEERS I HAVE EVER...

    Clearing pellet dry hope beer

    When making this beer I split it into 2 x 2.3 litre for secondary fermentation. One had 200 gm Mosaic and the other 150 gm Citra. As I said earlier I add 3 sheets of gelatine to each vessel. The Mosaic cleared without crash cooling! The Citra has had 5 days crash cooling and is still muddy...

    Clearing pellet dry hope beer

    Thanks Guys, The beer was nearly clear after I racked it from the FV. I then put 200gm of Mosaic pellets into a muslin bag and left in the beer for 2 days. I then put in 3 sheets of gelatin. Now to chill at 0c until clear and keg and carbonate. Maybe I got the last 2 jobs the wrong way round. I...

    Clearing pellet dry hope beer

    Does anyone know of a way to clear dry hop cloud from beer. Will cold crashing work? If so what temp. and for how long? I know a bit of cloud is acceptable, but I prefer it clear. Just old fashioned. John
