I'm a fan of the 80s and 90s heavy metal and punk.

It's not likely that you get a very clear beer. I normally add some Irish Moss to my Weizen as I don't like it too cloudy and it's never clear. Just don't cold crash if you like more haze.

I was a Mondeo man too. My first ever car was a 1994 Mondeo estate. It was running really well until it blew the engine gasket.

I'm pretty much in the same situation regarding the temperature control - no fridge. I've tried brewing lager in January/February time to take advantage of the cold weather. The result wasn't impressive but still drinkable. There are, however, plenty of beers that can be brewed at around room...

I rinse straight after pouring, then in the dishwasher before bottling. For glass bottles I use the normal program which goes up to 70 C, that's on its onw high enough to kill off the germs. For PET I use VWP (or similar) powder in the dishwasher on a short program that only gets up to 45C.

Hi @chopps, can you give me a hint on what nozzle you put on the lid. I'm thinking of building something similar to yours but have no idea about the nozzle needed for creating a good jet cone.

I haven't seen that before. Can you send me a link ?

Hi All, I'm considering buying some hop plants to grow in my garden, so I was wondering if anybody else may be interested? If so we can order together and save a bit on the delivery cost.

Is it not supposed to stay with the hops for a while before bottling? @GhostShip, I honestly admire your patience. I don't think I could wait that long.

@Rento , Your line of thought regarding the water volume calculation seems reasonable in general. I would only comment on the ratio between the strike (mash) water volume and the sparge volume. My understanding is that if you have larger proportion in the mash and smaller sparge volume, that...

I quite like the Jitsi project. Still don't know why it's not much popular.

I believe this is the amount that goes into the FV. The calculators use it for predicting the original gravity.

Hi all, I'm also considering growing my own hops. Can you recommend a reliable rhizome supplier for the UK?

I looked it up after I had a batch that took well over 2 weeks to carbonate. I should mention that batch was cleared with gelatine and kept in the fridge for a long time in order to clear.

p.s. I'm curious to know how clear it finishes after the carbonation.

No personal experience but see the datasheet: It says 2 to 7 g per hectolitre, i.e. up to 7grams per 100L of beer. So for 23L it comes as 1.6 grams max.

I had one of the Choc Orange while sitting in front of my fire place a few weeks back while still cold outside. It made a nice winter evening. Thanks @Falco .

Count me in, please.

Yes, search for kegerator or keezer.

Another thing to keep in mind is to check if the instructions are in US gallons or imperial gallons. The difference is about 20%.
