I spoke to a guy at Malt Miller and he made a good point of splitting my brew into 3 separate fermenters and using different yeasts and dry hops in each to get 3 different tasting beers. Going to make my own using a larder fridge with secondary regulators and a splitter for carbing kegs with...

Hiya, I know this is a noob question but please humour me... I'm bored sh*tless of bottling. I brew in 50 to 60l batches so I'm considering getting 6 or 9 kegs. Obviously I want to keep them cold and I have seen the grainfather kegerator on the malf miller and brewuk sites. You can only fit 3...

That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! I'm looking into buying some kegs and making a kegerator or keezer at the moment. I wish I had the skill do do what you have done there!!!

I'll also be dry hopping for 2 weeks in the FV

Nah f*ck it. I only brew in 50-60l batches as it yields the most beer from the same time and effort. I got a 5 star recipe from beersmith and scaled it up for 60 but dropped some of the ABV to make it more sessionable.

Ah. That's £5 wasted then

Is it a good thing to do starters with dried yeast as well? Would the fermentation process start quicker if I did?

That, sir is a fantastic answer and I commend your knowledge and assistance That makes perfect sense to me. So it has to be 1.035-1.040 and I cant make it a higher gravity to make up for it. 2l jar ordered for the first half of the starter then Thank you very much! Really excited to do this...

Ok, I've done some reading but what I dlnt understand is, why wont the yeast multiply enough in a 2l starter? Will it not continue to multiply in a 60l fermenter?

Please forgive me, but can you dumb that down, like you're talking to a 12 year old for me? I just need you to explain the science as I've never done anything but pitch dried yeast before.

I've ordered a 2l flask on amazon and a magnetic stirrer. So I need a 1500ml beaker or something to transfer it into and do a 2nd one? What would happen if I just did a 2l starter with both packs? Apologies for noob questions

Hi all, It's been some years since I posted on here but I'm back into brewing again and I have 2 brews planned over the coming weeks. I've never made a yeast starter before so I've ordered a flask and some light DME. It's my first ever IPA and I've purchased WLP001. I brew 60l batches at a...

I haven't brewed beer for over a year but last Saturday I brewed and English ale. Similar to one I've done before but a slight tweak. I used: 10.5kg of Maris otter 1kg Caramalt 600g Crystal 60 200g black malt Used goldings as 90 minute Goldings and EKG as 10 minute Citra at 5 minute Came...

Thanks buddy. I'm a bit rusty having been out of the game for a while but I really enjoyed doing this one.

Thanks buddy. It's been a couple of years and I'm a bit rusty.

As part of my job I spoke to a brewery today and spoke to an absolute genius by the the of Steve. I think his name should be PETER and Peter gave me some amazing advice. In terms of advice he should be considered a SAINT. What a bloody lovely bloke. I have adjusted my hops accordingly...

Only 23 IBU'S though... should let the sweet malty biscuit through nicely
