    Hop basket or bag, which to use?

    I've just ordered myself a false bottom instead. I'll let you all know how it gets on

    No, freezing does not kill bacteria

    That's where the inspirational spark occurs. Kriek deserves to be classed as it's own drink in it's own right. It's not a cider. It's not a beer. It's not a fruit juice. It's a kriek.

    No, freezing does not kill bacteria

    I wonder if it's the yeast, or the alcohol that the yeast produces that kills off stuff. I've never heard of freezing killing bacteria before though.

    Beginner cider advice

    I'm going to join a friend making cider from his tree on Saturday. I've never done cider before, and neither has he. He's got this kit https://www.brewbitz.com/products/home-made-cider-starter-package-10-litres. Without going over the top, what else has he missed (he has a scratter/press etc)...

    Monitoring leccy usage

    Monitoring leccy usage

    My battery can export 3.6kW to the house, so brewing from the battery is no problem. What I did find about battery/brewing is that when I set my GF to boil at 70% power, it doesnt' just reduce the load on the heater, it goes at full blast for 0.7s, then off for 0.3s. Feeding thing from the...

    Monitoring leccy usage

    ah, I thought you were suggesting turning everything else off in the house, not just the brewing equipment. I don't know about you, but our electricity usage for the house varies across the day as the TV, computers, washing machines, microwaves etc go on and off. Day to day it can vary by as...

    British homebrew podcasts/YouTube channels

    Oh my God, I tried listening to that. It's got the most overly opinionated whinge-bag ranting about everything. I couldn't last long. He's just very angry at everything
