    Deathstar's Brew Day

    I stuck my nose in the fermentation fridge earlier, ooohh it smells nice. I did notice whilst reading the Mangrove Jacks Dried Yeast book, it recommends that you pitch two packs of M44 for gravity's over 1.050, though I am only at 1.054. All looks good though. For those interested, attached is...

    So, I’ve eventually built my fermentation fridge and conducted a few tests where were positive. Temp control with my WiFi Inkbird indicates a 0.3/0.4 C variation which surprised me. it will cold crash all the way to -2C. This leads me into my question. What are the benefits of altering the...

    Deathstar's Brew Day

    Well, I decided to try this after a few weeks of conditioning and chilling. I will be brewing this again, I must say it’s absolutely awesome. I’d actually buy this in a pub. Great level of bitterness, with a nice subtle level of smokiness. I’d maybe up the smoked malt a little the next time...

    brew shed users

    Looks ace that, but just wait until the spiders move in. I’ve always wondered about dampness using a shed, but more in terms of kit being spoilt.

Then...when I came to sparge, I was only able to pull out around 3 litres to put back into the mash tun. Tap wide open, nothing. set the...

    Brewing software evaluataion

    BS3 for me as am a macOS user, and they have ported it. I did not think the fee was expensive for the features that I need.

    Oh dear........

    They had what I wanted earlier in the week, and their prices and postage fees are very competitive. Different suppliers cater for different area's of the market.
