A failed element on a Burco boiler that also tripped the power to the house, I ended up transferring to my plastic HLT and doing the boil that way

Timothy Taylors Landlord for me, on cask. In a bottle it's only OK

Thank you, much appreciated

I've just put my numbers (online United Utilities average values) into the homebrewforum water calculator, and it is showing that I don't need to add any CRS (for bitters & pale ale's) However when I transfer the results into brewfather its showing the PH at 5.48, do I add some lactic acid to...

I'm looking at doing a clone of Sonoma from Track Brewing in Manchester, I've got the ingredients pretty much sorted (I hope !) but does anybody know the IBU's ? Its described as having a soft, pithy bitterness finish, which I would agree with. Thanks

As this is your first all grain I would recommend forgetting about water chemistry for now and just do a very simple and cheap recipe, so that you can work out your water losses and efficiencies. If the worst case scenario happens and you have to write it off you haven't lost much. I very much...

I have reused the slurry by decanting into a jar and then pitching it again on brew day quite a few times. I have never done pitching straight onto the trub, I always assumed the fermenter should be sanitised after every use, is that not the case ?

I can't help with the cube I'm afraid, my preferred online retailer is Get'er'Brewed, the prices are great. https://www.geterbrewed.com/

That was the gist of my comment. He won't bear the pain and use a wheelchair, when the real pain starts he'll be getting the operation done

This is in the Greg Hughes book

He's not in that much pain then !

It's not always safe to drill through the side walls, my understanding is that different manufacturers will run the coolant lines in the side walls and some don't, if this is the same for the top I don't know, but I would start by removing the lid and investigate from there.

I use isinglass in my cask ales and it works great

I'm really enjoying watching these, the taproom is a great idea, good luck with the venture. Perhaps not tell alexa to set a timer as you set mine off :laugh8:

I did wonder why he'd turned up in Kiev last week

Thanks The starter I use is Lancashire Farms live natural yoghurt got my third attempt aheadbutt in the 'fridge' at 37C will have a look at it in 5 hours 🤞

For anybody interested I did try to upload the file as a pdf, but the file was too large weblink here https://campaigns.crispmalt.com/the-malt-handbook-2nd-edition

I'm having a go at this now. First batch was definitely yoghurt but quite runny Second batch I appear to have made ricotta (too hot and too long; I think!) I'm utilising my second fermentation fridge Looking at google, there seems to be many ways to make this. I'm going for Heat the milk...

Thanks for the swift reply, I have added it to my recipe in brewfather software and to get to 5.2PH it's coming out at 90g in a 21 litre batch. I did read that it will lighten the beer ( I'm assuming that means colour?) I don't know why I haven't tried this ages ago !

I buy my grains from GEB made up as a custom grain kit and I'm looking at adding acidulated malt to most of my recipes instead of using lactic acid additions. Should I be aware of any major changes to my brew day or beer, from making this change? I predominately make best bitters and to a...
