    90 minute brewday - Raw beer - Kveik Hornindal

    This is from the Nordic brewing website; Hop Tea for Raw Ales Most raw ale brewers get their hop bitterness from hop tea. This means simply boiling the hops in a small amount of water instead of the full wort boil. This is my standard hop tea method: Boil the hops in water for one hour and...

    I've done a smash with extra pale MO and Admiral hops, it was so good I'm experimenting with adding other base malts Vienna or Pils and cascade hop's

    90 minute brewday - Raw beer - Kveik Hornindal

    I've converted to raw ale brewing and have brewed 15 in the last year, maybe something in my mixed up dome foreseen the ridiculous price hype in energy costs 🤔 Recently I've started doing hop teas for aroma and taste and also for bittering, this is hard to balance out as any calculators don't...

    British Gas owner Centrica profits hit £3.3bn for 2022.

    I don't really get involved or comment on these issues, but here goes and then I'll drop back down below the parapet and hide in a corner drinking my homebrew. Whilst all these energy companies are ripping us off and making huge profits, they are actually doing as required by UK law. I can't...

    Handpump Beer Engine advice

    I have quite a few hand pulls modern'ish and vintage, none are larger than 1/3 Whilst a check valve is not required, some sort of shut off would probably help, ideally after the cylinder at the tap which I have on my vintage pulls. Before this I would basically wrap cling film around the swan...

    Weights and measures

    Sorry I should clarify why this has come about. Basically auld fart bro has a bottle of proper navy rum which I'd acquired and he's questioned the ABV 54% Yep he pished me off, but he thinks that it's possible to measure the ABV as weights and measures would regularly hit our local pubs years...

    Weights and measures

    Not sure if I've got this in the correct subject and hopefully someone from Admin will sort it. I've been asked by one of my auld bro's about checking ABV on a bottle of rum Whilst trying to explain to him that we can only know beer ABV from knowing OG and FG, my thinking is its probably...

    Hop tea wort dry hop experiment

    Presently I have an one brewing system which is rated as 65l and it's easy to push it to 70l with a boil, though I'm brewing raw ale now and volume is not an issue. I always adjust recipes to achieve the OG and the ABV so this part is not an issue. I'm pressure fermenting with a 60l ferm and...

    What food would you never eat

    Tripe, smells horrible tastes horrible and texture is horrible, people choke to death with it. Liver, something I've liked in the past, until one time on a ship I was coming off watch at midnight I heard strange sound's from the galley, unfortunately I investigated finding a drunken cook having...

    Thoughts on pewter tankards

    I have a few tankards all with lids great for when cruising the canals or just drinking alfresco, keeps wasps fly's and other unwanted bits out of the beer in good weather and keeps the beer dry when it's pishing down, during heatwaves one is also in the fridge cooling.
