    Flaked oats?

    I dunno if it makes a difference. Mine almost looks uncrushed. Has the hulls on too. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Flaked oats?

    Just took delivery of some flaked oats for a NEIPA, not used them before, and kinda wasn't expecting them to look like this. Do they look right? Who am I to argue with brupaks? Lol. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Home brew twang

    That's exactly what I've done, got my water report from phoenix, yet to brew with it yet, this weekend will be the test. Spoke with brewer at Twisted barrel ale and he pretty much told me what I needed too. If this don't fix it I'm stumped! Lol. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    The REAL Bible?

    So, the bible, which is it? I always though when people referred to "The Bible" they meant "How to brew" by John Palmer, but I now see some referring to "Home Brew Beer" by Greg hughes. So which is your bible? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    wyeast "smack" packs

    It's even harder to "smack" if the pack is a little swollen already. Had that a few times. I've had packs I've forgotten about and still managed to make a starter when the packs over 6 months from date of manufacture! (which is supposed to be zero viability.) What's the date of manufacture on...

    Home brew twang

    I'll certainly be interested in the results. I brew AG and I've not had one decent pale beer yet, all have had some sort of odd taste. I've read loads about off flavours, but I honestly couldnt tell is it was one in particular, so assumed the dreaded "twang" I've now bought loads of water...

    Brewing Saison Advice

    That's good to know. I'm about to do my 3rd grow up on the stirplate, there's already loads of yeast in there. Be able to brew a Bach and save some for next time. :-) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Citra Saison - BBNo 01|01 - ideas?

    Cheers mate! Appreciated. I've currently got the Saison yeast harvested from 01|04 on the stirplate, I'm sure that yeast would be up to the job. If I could find some 01|01 I'd grow some of that up too, tho I'm sure they probably use the same yeast. I can usually maintain about 26-28 in the...

    Brewing Saison Advice

    Cheers dude. I like the idea of the rhubarb, will definitely consider it for an upcoming brew. Need to get me some Pilsner malt, I do seem to have an excess of Maris otter at the moment tho lol. Talking of pilsner malt, anyone know the difference between Pilsner Malt and Bohemian Pilsner Malt...

    Brewing Saison Advice

    What was your malt bill? And what figures did you go for on the water in the end? I'm into Saisons at the mo, got a N.W.S. kit on the go at mo, will be dry hopping this week. I pitched at about 28 and bunged it in the airing cupboard, so should be pretty funky. Got a Saison yeast pinched...

    Yeast harvesting from commercial beers

    Oh!, Never thought that! Thanks for the tip! I've just upped the starter now, give it a second grow, then probably try and get a couple of vials like I do with the smackpacks. I saw a guy using a seperatory flask on YouTube, not bought one but I've been tempted. Would make draining off that...

    Yeast harvesting from commercial beers

    So, a few days on the stir plate, and a few in thfridge has resulted in this. Looks quite a bit in there, some much darker must be dead, but good layer of lovely fresh yeast from that bottle of 01|04. Tasted the 'beer' off the top, and it's definitely Saison'y even tho was just done at room...

    Brewer's Friend Feedback

    Been playing around with the water calculations in Brewers friend a fair bit, but im still having trouble getting things to tie up, I'm kinda flicking from tab to tab a lot. is it possible to have the water calculations integrated into the recipe, so it uses water guidelines from the style...

    Yeast harvesting from commercial beers

    Anyone had much joy with this? I tried a while ago to harvest yeast from Cloudwater DIPA (V9 I think) I know they have been using some JW Lee's Vermont yeast or something that makes some cracking beer, and always been interested in trying to brew a beer for myself. When I did it before, I made...

    Bridger's BrewDays

    So, I missed out on the update for the Elvis Juice clone, I put the rind of 3 grapefruit and 2 oranges in there​ FV when I dry hopped it which I wasn't actually planning to. I left for 4 days and then bottled it yesterday with some cold pressed extract on top. I did have a little sample...

    Freezing hops?

    See a couple on Amazon for 30 quid with decent reviews, with hops costing 7 quid a pop, it could make its money back quickly. Cheers. 👍 Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    N.W.S. Kit water tweaking?

    Ok, so picked up a Young's New World Saison kit to try my hand at a easy first Saison. Now I'm wondering, should i tweak my water to suit a Saison? Or shouldn't that be a problem with a kit? Should at least throw in a campden? Thinking about it, should kits really use distilled water as the...
