I just recently bought a couple of packs of dried Omega Lutra to try and do a pseudo lager and I did not know it was made by Lallemand but their dried Voss has worked out well for me. As for the swollen liquid pack, I would build over-build a starter and use half for the brew and store half for...

I used to do that and it’s great advice but I’ve ditched the pipe in the centre of the grain basket and plugged the hole. So now I don’t use top plate anymore and have a plastic diffuser on the tube from the pump. Also not having the centre pipe makes it easier for me to stir the mash every...

The Brewfather app was a bit confusing at first for me but you soon get the hang of it. Setting the boil time for your Brrewzilla in the equipment profile is key. Plus don’t be surprised is your mash plus sparge water exceeds 33L at times depending on the recipe. Just trust the app. Also, I...

I mostly use 8mm duotight fittings and so I bought a 8mm M8 (Mini Regulator Outlet) to make the connection: I got the little adaptor for my regulator from iKegger in Germany and it was pricey with shipping but I couldn't find it anywhere else: Their website is a nightmare to navigate but...

I have a Brewzilla 3.1.1 and it's worked well for me. It took me a while to get my efficiency levels up but, as was mentioned, there's a ton of YouTube videos out there for advice and also on this forum as well. However, I want to up my volume a tad and so I was looking really forward to the...

I now have 2 All Rounders because I needed to speed up production 😛 I use one AR in a fermentation fridge for brews that need to be fermented colder with traditional yeasts. Then I have another one that I use with a heat belt and a Fermizilla All Rounder jacket for kveik yeasts where I find...

Brilliant! Glad it worked :)

It could be very tight but I reckon it's possible. I would go with no pressure on day 1 (with a fully open sounding valve) but keeping an eye on the krausen. Then I would start adding pressure which seems to keep the krausen a tad lower. These days I mostly ferment without pressure but in your...

The maximum I’ve done is 27L and that was fine. Of course you’ll still end up with trube that will reduce your yield. You’ll definitely need some headspace but I don’t know what the minimum would be. Also, I might be a bit reticent opening the AR for dry hopping with any more than 27L as the...

This takes me back to my early days of brewing. So I thought to myself, what would I do differently.... Well, I would start with brewing some English Ales and maybe Irish Stouts to get some experience because my initial NEIPA's and Hazy IPA's were a big disappointment. Especially amongst my...

I brewed a weissbier a while back that became crystal clear within a few weeks. So I think that I just need to drink them faster :)

I haven't tested them yet but it's really handy to be able to plug the beer/gas line straight in or at a downward angle using the elbow connector.

Great question.....I just checked and they are 1.3cms shorter or 1/2 inch in old money....and as you say, much shorter than the usual plastic ones.

I would love to buy an itap but I just can't justify it right now as only fill a few bottles every now and then (mainly for friends). So, I tend to use a 19L corny and a 5L mini-keg for each of my brews. But now "my" gear addiction monster has been awoken again :-O

Those 23L kegs look like a great option and they should fit into my keezer using these new ball lock disconnects which I recently bought from Kegland's aliexpress store. They are duotight and have a very low height. Also, the elbow connection allows you to run tubing straight downwards...

Told my wife a few years back that all I would need to brew good beer would be a Brewzilla 35L and a fermentation bucket. So I got the green light. A few years later and I think that she's a bit mad with me. Could be the 5 corny kegs, 6 mini-kegs, 5 beer crates with 100 bottles, 1000 bottle...

I used to hate really running but 11 years ago when I was 50 yrs old, I moved to Argentina with my job and I decided to join a running team to make friends - I was recently divorced and defiantly not very fit! From a mental health point of view, running helped to lift my mood and being part of...

I don’t think that you can go wrong with any of the English ale yeasts but the best results I’ve had so far was with the Verdant IPA dried yeast. However, I would like to try Imperial A38 Juice: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/imperial-yeast-a38-juice/ I’m also keen to try the new...

I'm always tweaking the recipes so I guess that I never brew the same beer twice either!

It would have to be the West Coast IPA for me :)
