True. I have added a location to my profile and so I hope that shows up. I should have been back in the UK, but I rethought my plans due to Covid (trying to reduce travelling for the winter)

Damn! Can't get hold of Galaxy and the thread I started about it has become a 'Great Recipes that use Galaxy' group. Thanks for the tips though!

Thanks for the offer, but I am currently outside the UK.

Thanks for the advice. Not in the UK and this was the last order of 2020 (delivery options are a bit more complicated/expensive and so I have to order less often). They don'y even expect to have Galxy until March!!!

I think you mean 'Wort Drive with Wort factor 9'.

Thanks for the advice. Not in the UK and this was the last order of 2020 (delivery options are a bit more complicated/expensive and so I have to order less often). Milling grain tomorrow and going to brew on Friday.

My latest order arrived... but they won't have have any Galaxy hops for a few months. So I could do with some advice on using what I have for my next recipe: A Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale. It has 50g of Simcoe and 50g of Amarillo at the end of the boil. For the final 3 days of fermentation I...

Thanks for the input. I will see what I can find and experiment.

I am going to answer this one with a question: How do you increase the carbonation in under carbonated bottles? You put them somewhere warm for a while! There's more than one reason for this problem, but storage temperature is the less spoken about. It's warmer here and so this is an issue I...

I need some assistance with chocolate… I have a recipe for Youngs Double Chocolate Stout from The Big Book Of Clones (I can type it up if that helps). However, there’s an ingredient that I can’t source here. 591ml/20fl.oz of Cholaca Liquid – The recipe fails to mention when this is added, but...

Mine is working fine and I have no issues with the paint. I would'nt mess about with painting it until you see a problem developing. There is a degree of variation with these mills so you need to find the thickness by small adjustments as you go along. Then stick with that once you have it.

My ghettto idea lasted a split second longer than Megan Markle's search for privacy!

Your ghetto chilling system might be a winner. Out tap water here is never that cold here anyway and warm in the summer. Skipping the icebath, how long do you think 3 frozen x 1.5l bottles will take to get the temperature down to +/-20C?

Thanks for your thoughts on this topic. I will run an experiment when I get a fermenting fridge

All good replies. However, I also asked a question about conditioning temperatures post fermentation and carbonation as a separate thread. Anyone have any thoughts on that? The thread is called "Conditioning at 12C or 4C... Whats the difference?" At some point I will be able to answer question...

Yes. This is about brewing all grain recipes.

I have 2 books of recipes. The first is 'The Big Book of Clone Recipes' and it does not mention a thing about post-fermentation temperatures. The other is 'Home Brew Beer; and that is specific about the post fermentation/conditioning temperature for every recipe. Lacking a fermentation fridge...

Thanks for working through this problem with me. I'd never have known otherwise. So a refractomer is only useful for: 1) OG and 2) testing that the fermentation has stopped. But it's time to get out the hydrometer for the true FG. Just used the hydrometer on the current FV and it is 1.012...

Yes, I am using a refractometer for both FG and OG. Wort at 20C for both. This must mean I have something else to learn! What's the issue with refractometers?
