This is stunning, in my opinion of course, no good probably if you're a Doombar fan though........ :laugh8:

This will be useful to anyone who likes Verdant stuff and is going near Falmouth, these pubs sell their stuff............ The Working Boat Seaview Inn The Boathouse The Moth and The Moon Toast me when you're sat in one of them 🤣

I've heard nothing but great things about these guys, Youtube reviews look good too.............. https://darkrockbrewing.co.uk/beer/all-grain-beer-kits.html

Hmmmm, interesting, I don't think it's astringency, i've just looked it up and the things that can cause it I'm not doing, I'll look into it more closely, maybe that is part of the problem. Don't get me wrong, my beer is always pretty good, if I could sort this out, it doesn't happen every time...

Sparging at about 65c...........use bottled Tesco Ashbeck water so water chemistry shouldn't be a problem and zero dark grains used. Yes, I like hoppy beers and my hops reflect this, varies but mainly over 10AA up to 15AA.......lactose is interesting, used it a few times, maybe need to again as...

Totally agree with that, love their cans when I can get some, infact i'd say they are one of the top 3 in the whole country 🍻🍻

Brilliant, many thanks for this info............so i'll add more gypsum and add both to the mash keeping 1/2 tsp of CC, and there is no need for a campden tablet :) Adding to the mash, is that right at the start when adding the grain or after the mash has finished but before the boil ???

WOW, what an informative but slightly confusing thread, well done Steve for your time and effort. I'm sure it's been asked before, I've probably done the asking, but, as I use Tesco Ashbeck do I really need to do much if I'm brewing a light coloured hoppy Pale or IPA ?? At the moment all I add...

The bitterness doesn't fade with age, the beer is still decent but with the bitter edge. My recipes are deliberately aiming for almost no IBUs so I can't work out why I'm getting the bitterness ?

I've noticed that a few of my hoppy beers are tasting a little too bitter which is strange because I never add hops at 60 minutes and generally just add a few at 5 mins then flameout, about 65c for 30 minutes then a biggish dose of pellets for a 3 day dry hop. What would be making the beer...

I've had exactly the same over the last couple of days, luckily I knew it was a scam and didn't click on the link..........stay alert everyone.

I always struggled a bit to keep the mash temperature even wrapping with towels/blankets/single quilts...........now I put the pan in the oven that I set for 60-70 c, mind you ts only 11lts so not too big. Never thought about using my fridge although you'll never get the fridge up that high, no...

Hoorah, glad your beer turned out well acheers. I brewed a NEIPA on Friday using Voss and the recipe at the top of page 72 on this thread, nearly finished fermenting and smelling great.......................

Personally my two brews have fermented out after 3 days, I then dry hop on day 4 for 3 days and bottle on day 8..........they then carbonate in the bottles really fast at room temperature in about 2-3 days, ready to drink any time after that..........

Cheers, on the calculator what does the calibration mean, it's set on 20c ??? It is great being able to brew quickly on hot days, I've done 2 now, 1st one tastes very good and the 2nd one is being bottled tomorrow after just 8 days :) Weird opening the fermentation fridge and getting a blast of...

So are you saying 1.006 at 19c is equivalent to 1.010 at 38c.........roughly

Quick question..........does the hydrometer reading alter depending on the temperature of the wort ??? On my 1st Kveik brew I fermented at about 38c and took my reading at that temperature, like you I then let it drop after it had finished to dry hop at about 18c, then took my final gravity...

Yes, that's what I do, works well and you don't need to be too accurate either.

Do BiaB, much better quality beer and you can make your own recipes :)

Why brew so much, do like I do and brew smaller batches, 10 lts gives about 15 bottles, that way you can try different recipes and if you don't like one too much you've only got to wade through a few bottles...........you can also brew more often.
