I know David Heath has gone with a shorter boil time. I'll look into this. Is it only relevant for pales, and particularly ones where the hopping is more for flavour than bittering?

I know this is an oldish post now but I would also add the GF has much better build quality, plumbing fittings, & a decent manual (I've got both 😬)

And interesting fix this thanks for the info I've gone up to 3/4tsp per bottle (pint), but I do make sure my beer has totally finished fermenting veggie doing this

And interesting fix this thanks for the info

Hi folks! Had a great day at the Nott Craft Beer Festival this weekend. Particularly enjoyed a couple of chilli Imperial Stouts. Anyone got a recipe, I especially need an idea about what type and quantity of chilli to use!

Is that 2 weeks total, or 2 weeks AFTER primary has finished?

Do you know what temps the brews have been at?

aha! Many thanks :)

Having had lots of issues with my Grainfather G30, I've gone over to a Hop Spider now. It came to me, why are they called hop spiders, I can't see any relation to a spider?! 🍃🕷️

I done a bad thing. Froze a smackpack. Will try a starter

Hi all, I could do with knowing when I'm low on gas. I've read that there's a weight when full on the neck of the bottle, but there's several numbers & I don't know which one is which. Any advice?

Lager is a bit more tricky to brew. Others here will be able to add lots of details

Useful info thanks

Yes, they're rubbish

Hi all. Hope this is in the right discussion. I'm a big fan of the Vocation Double Tonka Frappe, cans in some supermarkets. It's an 8% Stout. It's bordering on sweet - lactose or vanilla too? plus a good punch of coffee and tonka. Has anyone had a go at a clone for this?

I'm waiting on my first brew now, it's at 2ndary fermentation stage. The GF is a whole new system to learn. Then I can adapt it to what works for me. 1st brew went very well, other than a few minor issues that I'll iron out in future brews

Ha, not really. I've done lots of all grain & half mash brews over the years, but in low tech kit - a kettle type bucket & large pans. The GF requires me to learn the system, but temperature & timing are much easier now. Thanks

Hi all! Newbie here to this group. I've been brewing at home for many years, from kits through to all grain. Recently joined the modern era, with a Grainfather, & some new equipment that I'm just getting my head around. Look forward to homebrew discussion
