We will have a 9 week old baby by sunday, so while I was changing him last night I got his foot prints to do something with. May also slip a bar or two of chocolate in...

    Robobrew or...?

    I've recently purchased a BrewMonk. very similar to a robobrew except you have a sight glass with a volume level and the element power is pragmatically set rather than 2 switches, the Malt Miller do a 3 year warranty on the product too. I couldnt justifiy the cost of a grainfather with the...

    Brewzilla thread to share knowledge, experiences and good practice

    Out of everything Ive read or watched on the brewzilla or brewzilla variants, your post was one of the most helpful. I had a little less pre boil (26l) but the amount lost was equivalent to yours. I lost 3 litres Boil off and probably 3 in trub and because I stopped transfer when flow stopped...

    Brooklyn Lager/Steam Beer hybrid

    That's awesome news! No I haven't brewed yet. I had other things going on last weekend in the end and also had to wait till Friday to get some of the hops for the recipe. I've also justt bought a brewmonk so will wait for that to arrive. Aiming for Fri/sat by the time it arrives and I do dry...

    Brooklyn Lager/Steam Beer hybrid

    yeah a robobrew/brewzilla is what Im edging towards. Currently have a brewpot,induction hob and a cooler for a mash tun. So is abit time consuming and a fath at times. I havent used ebbe before but Id recommend giving it a try if my experiences are anything to go by with kveik. Just a different...

    Brooklyn Lager/Steam Beer hybrid

So EVAN. I've had the Brooklyn Lager/Steam Beer...

    What are you brewing for Christmas

    I'm thinking of doing either Sierra Nevada celebration ale clone (from the BYO big book) as we, wife and I are expecting our first any day now or my life finds a way amber (hops that match my dads initials, 1st Christmas without dad) or a black IPA version of life finds a way. Probably wont be...

    How are we all coping with Covid 19?

    Ive struggled at times, my wife has been pregnant throughout this entire covid time (no not covid conceived) so I have been shielding along with her, it took long enough for us to conceive to jinx anything now. Fortunately I have been able to work from home all this time. I have struggled at...

    Name your favourite shop bought beers.

    Punk was always my favourite, the 'original' was actually what got me into craft beer and ultimately led me into this hobby. At the moment however I keep going back to Lost Cosomonauts by North Brewing Co. and Anchor Steam Beer and Brooklyn Lager

    Kveik

    That was what I've always struggled with. took 35 mins to chill to 36c and pitched and was done fermenting in 2 days. Have been using Kveik yeast for the last 6 brews and wont look back. 1st time this time with dried Kveik yeast little more cost effective but appears just as good results as...

    Kveik American Amber

    Its been the 1st chance to post since brewday a couple weeks ago. The beer is carbing up ready for the proper test this weekend but the taste out of the fermenter when transferring was very promising. Basically like drinking it real ale style. Hops come through but not in an overpowering way and...

    Mangrove Jacks Kviek

    It maybe be fresh from the fermenter but it's balanced, with the hops lingering last in a really nice way, coats the mouth. Just going to have to wait to carb up now for a week or so. I'm super happy about how this has turned out. I have another thread about the beer itself which I'll update...
