Thanks Cwrw, that explains why the 5.5% ESB I brewed for Xmas last year was still rough after 4 weeks in a PB at Xmas but it was pretty good by Feb. I’ve not tried a really hoppy brew yet or dry hopping but I’ll bear in mind the limited shelf life of the hop element.

Thank you they look just the job 🍻

Hi BB, huge info and experience on this forum and very keen to help which I’ve found brilliant 🍻

Good idea Mashbag, I’ve been meaning to get some crates especially as moving lots of bottles in shopping bags is a pain and don’t stack of course. 🤣🤣oh no, secrets out!

Ok so I’m way too hasty and need to brew batches well ahead by a month or two at least. And leave some way longer to see what happens so I know for future brews. I guess you seasoned pros plan ahead for most of the years brews and then throw in the spontaneous extras you fancy!

Hi Dreaddan if you want a lower Abv but it’s the same batch size wouldn’t the hop additions stay as is or the IBU, hop taste and aroma will be lower? Unless that needs toning down as well?

Hi All I’ve done around 18x AG brews now and not many repeat brews so a rather random mix with only one that was let’s say a little niche. So very pleased so far. All my brews are 4-5.5% and nothing really out there in recipes or techniques as I’m still learning. Pales, bitters, stouts and a...

Hi GC Welcome aboard, I’ve been thinking about making some mead for a while so would be interested in the recipe and how it turns out

Yes, bottling bucket has no trub and you add your sugar so it evenly dispersed in the beer. Then bottle from there.

I’ve got that cap too, great with the pressure gauge (which I may have lost) and you can also use CO2 bulbs with as well as the valve is interchangeable. As long as you grease it and ptfe tape the thread it holds pressure well.

Just finished Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks which was grim but good. Currently have How to stop time by Matt Haig as my train book, jury is still out at third way through. Then Under the dome by Stephen king as my bedtime read which has been great. Next up Klara and the sun by Kazuo Ishiguro...

Love Neverwhere, I’ve read it twice. You will never look at the London Underground the same again!
