Hi, We're holding a home brew meetup at The Coracle in Ironbridge, Telford on Monday 25th June if anyone is interested? A few more details can be found on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1261021147367316/?active_tab=about

Well done everyone. How many entries did you get?

Have you made any progress Simon? We’ve just had an offer accepted to lease a shop in Ironbridge. Any advice from what you’ve learned so far?

I brewed earlier today, it was a bit of a disaster...hopefully next years brewing will be better!

Lots of head but lack of carbonation makes me think the temp of the beer is high, how are you controlling the temp?

It’s more down to weight rather than size isn’t it?

Do you struggle with a 2l starter in a 2l flask? Mine has enough space in the neck that it’s fine during the boil (using anti foam kind you) and during ferment.

I use a hop spider for pellets and it works a treat.

In that case, carb up as you normally would as soon as you bottle (it may take longer than usual due to lagering dropping more yeast out) and then once carbed move somewhere cold.

Have you already lagered them before bottling?

Brewing related I got a hop rocket and a hard copy of diy dog. The hop rocket I asked for and whilst I would never have paid for DIYDog myself it’s a worthy addition to my brewing books.

You shoukd ferment for as long as it takes to hit fg plus a 2 day diactyl rest...2 weeks is a reasonable rule of thumb but it isn’t a rule and more often than not, beer is finished well within that time. Dry hopping complicates this a little but generally adding the dry hop time to the...

I’ve seen this recommended lods but for the life of me I’ve never worked out how to slow the Sparge down, the water seems to flow through at the speed it decides!

I’m sure it’ll be fine. What temp was the yeast when you pitched on top of it? If it was cold it’ll need time to wake up.

89% brewhouse? :shock: You use a GF right? I get about 73% on a good day but if I was doing such a strong brew I reckon that’d drop to about 70!

I think the low temp will mean the beer is fine, the yeast will be having a snooze and I’ve found hop extraction is much less at lower temps. I’ve had a stout in my fv for a month which is a lot longer than i usually have anything in there for but I’m not concerned...

Much the same. OP - what temp are you crashing at and for how long?

PCSpecialist.co.uk is my go to place when I need a new laptop, as you can configure exactly to your requirements you get exactly what you need without paying for things you don't need.

It isn’t a fact at all!

It's not bad but the IPA bit is very much a gimmick IMO.
