Anyone got a lead on somewhere (ideally UK based) who sells customisable beer tap handles? The only sites I've found seem to be aimed at commercial operations and I'm not looking at having a load made up, only 4 at most. I like the look of these...

@roboto Have a look at this article. A very thorough starting point https://bisonbrew.com/how-to-brew-neipa/

That's what I'm hoping. You've got to find your entertainment where you can these days

For Polly's fans... They've just released a 13% QIPA on their website (!) I didn't know such a thing existed. I've reservations that the alcohol heat of so heady a brew will match well with a full on juice bomb because you simply don't get the conditioning time that big beers need to smooth out...

In that case I'll keep the conversation going! I'm set up to close transfer from the FV into the keg and from keg to keg. I also have floating dip tubes so what you describe is possible. Two questions: - When dry hopping do you put the hops in anything or do you rely on cold crashing and the...

@Leon103 I had assumed this would be of most interest to those with stir plates and erlenmeyers. I don't want it to be an exclusive group, but at the same time I'm on board with the view that it needs to be done properly.

@HopHead420 This is all good and useful stuff. Thanks. Not least because I am doing an oat cream NEIPA at the weekend! Can I pick your brain on one other thing? If your experience tells you that there is no point in dry hopping during fermentation, is there any point in doing a staged dry hop...

@Oneflewover Fair point and I agree that there is some trust involved as it depends on everyone showing some care and attention in creating the donor yeast. However, I was working on the assumption that anything received would need to be cultured up into a starter as the contents of a jar...

Interesting that they snub the whole biotransformation thing entirely

@Oneflewover What do you think are the main challenges?

I don't know if anything like this has been tried previously but... I've built up a fair library of specialist yeasts (mainly Wyeast) through overbuilding starters and reserving some in a jar which I keep in the fridge. It occurred to me that there might be interest in the group to develop a...

At those prices I would def be interested in the future, but I spent out on hops from CML just before this initiative got going

@private4587 I can't help with the stripdown of the pump as it's not a model I recognise. On sealing the spouts, I use these cheap silicone caps...

Klarstein Fullhorn is what you need as well as the mesh bag to go in it 👍 Edit - OK I can see the price has gone up a bit and it's also out of stock. The lockdown effect I fear

Angel Homebrew have stock on their 30L and 70L Brew Devil systems. They are rebadged Guten systems so I assume they're decent. The 50L seems to be out of stock

Thanks for the responses. It's all a bit of a mystery then. @Dads_Ale I think you're right that it seems to occur when there is foam on the beer. It's a 4 flight Angram CQ and I've had the issue on beer pulled through a sparkler (a Banks' Bitter clone), but also without a sparkler (a plum...

Apologies if the following queries have been addressed before, but I'm going to struggle to find the time to go through all 90 pages of this thread! I've bought a few strains from yeasterbunny (Ebbergarden, Skare, Gausemel, Stranda and Arset) to experiment with My usual (non-Kveik) yeast...

I got a 6kg cylinder from Energas about 6 months ago. It was a low up front cost (£20) but there is an ongoing £7.99 monthly rental charge. I am rather regretting the decision because, if the regulator reads correctly, there is still most of it left, despite regularly purging kegs, force...

Depends if you want the CO2 cylinder inside or outside of the keezer. If you want it inside you won't be able to close the lid if you get the 6kg cylinder. If you're going to keep it outside then I would get the 6kg cylinder as you will almost certainly get more CO2 for the money. Take Adams Gas...

I like the look of this, but I'm not holding my breath on it arriving in the UK
