I think so. In my current setup I use tinfoil over the grain bed when sparging to avoid overextraction at the top. Not sure about the elbow

Will be interesting if decent cold IPAs pop up. Maybe I've been unlucky so far, but everyone I've had so far has been a sulphur bomb, akin to that homebrew cider smell.

This is the one I think.

Yeah, being able to brew outside with an AIO is a plus, wouldn't dream of it in today's weather though!

It also makes no sense to talk about supply side impact on prices alone, like every media article alludes to. In terms of demand, people have less disposable income this year, leading to consuming less beer, which has a downward impact on prices and margins, and much less beer will be sold as a...

Hops are expensive because last year's weather was calamitous. Yields for some hop strains down over 50%. Most of this harvest will go on contracts, leaving very little for the homebrewer on the spot market.

You know this, but if you are using tapwater then you'll need a fair bit of AMS/CRS to lower pH (depending on where you live. Not sure if excessive sulfate/chloride comes in then. If you use RO water, you will need very little to lower the pH.

Might be a bit late now, but is a commercial all-in-one an option, e.g. this for £177 Klarstein Mundschenk

Looks like yeast to me

I'm yet to find a neat solution to this. I currently use jubilee clips, but have had issues with leakage here, and also the hosepipe fatiguing and splitting near the joint. So F.

Big brew day: 15l Imperial Stout (parti -gyle) 18l Apa (parti gyle) 19 WC IPA 687L

It's grassy and a bit hot. If you have cans, personally I'd wait a while. Massive aroma, tropical and stone fruit, just rather unrounded.

Going to be dank and grassy I'd bet. I'm straight off to the pub after work so will be able to share notes too.

I do wonder how many Michael Hunts are their in the world with the parents blissfully unaware when they named them.

Timetable for an AIPA for me Primary ferment - until its done. Typically 5-7 days, sometimes less D-rest 48 hours day 8-9 Soft crash to 14oC day 10 Dry hop day 10-13 (max 3 days) Cold crash 1oC day 13-14, a bit longer if I'm using gelatine. Transfer day 14 Force carb - either 1 day at mega psi...

If the payment cannot be made in full then there is an option to pay by instalments We add a £83.30 admin charge, so the total amount would be £800.85 Payable in 11 x £69 and 1 x £41.85

Pulled the trigger on this, so watching in earnest how you get on with the maiden brews.

I wouldn't go as far as @Jan. but agree with the sentiment, FVs are notoriously leaky and you can get fermentation and no airlock activity. One of my buckets is like this. Alternatively, after dry hopping you can get airlock activity and no fermentation, due to Co2 nucleating on the hops. They...
