I'm only going to comment on number 1 Cleaning is a resultant chore of homebrew, fortunately there are lots of super cleaning and sanitisation products out there to help make a brewday more enjoyable. Otherwise go the pub, I do both

After lot's of research and a request from a friend I finally decided to brew a lager and pressure ferment in Kegs. I have a 65l and a 45l all in one brewer, normally I brew in the 65 and use 45 for sparging, however for this day rolls reversed. The brew is a basic German pilsner at 4.2% similar...

After googling and youtubing, I've just purchased the fermzilla 60l all rounder, already searching keg cleaners etc.

38L of German pilsner Total 7600

Thanks for replies, to add yes I have searched other posts on here and head still a bit pickled Anyway tomorrow morning I'm going in full guns, I've decided on a German pilsner 4% ish and I'll be bringing me old brewdevil 45l out of sparge duties back to brewing. I intend to split a 38l batch...

Having never ever brewed a lager or done a pressure fermentation, I'm looking for advice I've been googling, YouTube, FB aka social media etc to educate myself and my head is pickled Whilst I found lots of recipes and techniques, lot's of questions remain Ideally I'd just like to brew a small...

I had a similar occurrence years ago, with a similar style cask ale, started temp @18c and slowly raised to 24c, then dropped back to 18c, unfortunately my cooler aka fridge failed and we had a heatwave, think it went up to about 28c Anyway eventually I cooled it and racked it off, it was still...

Bit of an open question, what strength, what style, how bitter, how hoppy I think that yeast is probably optimum at higher temperatures so you'll need heat for the fermenter, and for a good fermentation I'd suggest it would have stable, but then I only know of that yeast so I could be waffling...

When I was doing a boil with the 'all in one' systems, I'd set the timer/program for a 75 min boil my opinion being that when reaching the boil it seemed to take about 15 min to get a constant rolling boil, but that's just me and my mad ideas. Presently I'm brewing raw ale without the boil and...

I had a 3 vessel system year's ago, cleaning after a brew day was a pain and I had lot's of failed brew's although back then we didn't have things like 'star san' When I started back about 5 year's ago or so I went straight in with a Grainfather 30L, compared to my old system it's so easy, after...

I've just watched this and searching other you tubes, interesting that many others boil the water and DH saying that is a big mistake, think I'll give it a go the DH way on next brew, only thing I can't find what is water to hop ratio, any ideas as I normally use 150g pellets in 60L batch

57L citra pale Total:6762

I concentrate my brewing on session light hoppy type pale ales, so experimenting with different types of alternative hop additives, presently my only success is with the Isohop for bittering which eventually has changed my brewing process. Now I brew raw ale type as bittering hop oil is added...

It can always be hit and miss, I brew a regular 60L session beer and it's taken quite a few brew's to get the right'ish volume along with the OG & FG gravity

I also had mini kegs for homebrew but only used them for transporting, brilliant for music festivals etc, occasionally had some duff batches which was probably due to a breakdown in the coating as previously mentioned. The other issue is cleaning they are difficult to drain completely.

60l session pale ale Total = 5499

Not sure if this might help with ideas but I use a chest freezer with an inkbird and 40w tube heater as I go for real ale and serve about 12c, I'm having to jig things about as I'm moving to corny kegs and 8 will sit snug in main part, rather than have the heater on the shelf bit at one end, I...
