    Lallemand London Ale yeast discontinued

    My iSpindel showed a temp of 24C at 9am this morning and is now 22C. Guess that is because it is no longer fermenting like crazy.

    Lallemand London Ale yeast discontinued

    My brew day was on Tuesday. All day Wednesday, the blow-off tube was going mental. Today, nothing. My iSpindel seems to be telling me that it has basically finished fermenting (OG 1.064, now 1.014). Is this normal for this yeast? I don't think I have ever seen full fermentation that quick.

    Banana Splits. Hard boiled, not the lollies or chews. Haven't been able to get them in years.

    Refilling a sodastream bottle - help!

    I seen a video of a fella using frozen co2 pellets to refill one. I think my gas guy sells them. Would seem a less dangerous option.

    Refilling a sodastream bottle - help!

    I have all that. I only use my sodastream when I take a half keg to a mates house. I bought the adapter ages ago but just find the whole process a bit daunting. Mixed opinions online only make me question it more. It is interesting though, how many people seem to be having difficulty getting it...

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    And did you aim for a specific water profile? I have gone for a generic brown ale profile.

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    Sounds good enough to me. I'll go with that then. Just double checking, I presume it was 10ml added to a 19L keg?

    Refilling a sodastream bottle - help!

    My feeling is that working with pressurised gas should not be taken lightly and probably done by professionals. And £13 isn't worth losing an eye (or your life) over.

    Refilling a sodastream bottle - help!

    Anyone got experience of doing this? I have all the necessary equipment but am a tad concerned about the safety aspect. Is it worth taking the risk for the sake of a £13 refill (it's probably more now)? I'm worried the sodastream cylinder will explode in my face. Is that even possible? I know...

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    Was that in a Rogue clone or a generic brown ale or stout?

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    Yes, was having difficulty finding the one dram size in hazelnut. Seen chocolate hazelnut but creamy hazelnut would be a better option. It'll be going into the secondary, which is the serving keg, and straight into the fridge. So it will not be fermenting. Does that make a difference to the...

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    I seem to recall using Monin hazelnut syrup before and it didn't turn out well. I also bought some artificial flavouring for an imp stout I brewed. I tried adding a few drops to a glass I poured but none of them tasted that great. Perhaps I bought crap stuff but I get the feeling it would be...

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    So one bottle (4oz?) does an entire corny of brown ale and the taste of hazelnut is strong, medium or mild? Have you had the original, for comparison?

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    For some time now, I have wanted to clone Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar. I have the original homebrew recipe and the tweaked Rogue recipe. Trouble is, the extract used in the original no longer exists and the one used by Rogue is not available to buy. Has anyone else cloned this beer and had any...
