    IPA using Voss ?

    Watching this with interest. I brewed David Heaths American Blonde last night with Lallemand Voss Dried. I had not heard about the orange flavour before. So am intrigued. I have 10 psi of pressure and sitting about 30C. I only used kveik because im going on holiday next week so i am hoping for...

    What did you brew today?

    I brewed an Allagash White recipe on Sunday. The ingredients have been sitting for a while and my Wyeast forbidden fruit was out of date. I pitched it anyhow, but no sign of life after 2 days. So i pitched US05. Not sure what it will end up like.

    Corned beef.

    No not American. I worked for Liberty Mutual for 10 years so lots of travel to Boston and all over New Hampshire. Current company is also based in New Hampshire. Good sandwiches and a proper American cheese burger are the highlights of my trips. That and Allagash White. :)

    Corned beef.

    I can't get a good Reuben outside of the US. So inspired by this thread, my saltpetre arrives today. Trip to the butcher and the super market for spices later on. Guy at my gym smokes a lot of meats and I think we can work out a deal. So pastrami will be on the menu. I'll remember to post back...

    “Conditioning: 4 weeks at 12C”

    Thanks for the info. His recipes are usually good, but I was staring at Brewfather thinking, that does not look right for a stout. I have another recommended oatmeal stout recipe from homebrewerassociation website which has a ton more roasted malts. Think i'll adjust the recipe a bit.

    “Conditioning: 4 weeks at 12C”

    Sorry to regurgitate an old thread, but how was the Greg Hughes Oatmeal? Planning to brew it this weekend. Recipe seems very light coloured for a stout. Not much roasted barley. Almost dark ale.

    Wanted: Peroni Gran Riserva recipe

    Im a big fan of Gran Riserva as well. My last brew was traditional bock by Greg Hughes. Stayed true to the recipe but used some W37/40 slurry for the yeast. I missed the OG by a few points but still it is a lovely beer. Keeps getting better as the weeks pass. I need to track down a bottle and do...

    Good quality malt mill? - How much we need to spend to not get ripped off by poor quality products?

    I spent £99 on my Bulldog mill from geb last year. Can't say I rate it at all. The rollers are not centred, so they oscillate. Impossible to set a gap because they are +- a mill on every rotation. Build quality is just crap for the price. If it was £40 I would still think the price a bit steep.

    Ferment temperature went crazy… ruined?

    I had a similar temp issue. I had a free Saturday morning last weekend so knocked up a partial extract brown ale with what i had laying around. I pitched S-04 and it was the hottest day NI has ever experienced! Ferm temp peaked at 25C and never dropped below 21C, despite ice packs strapped to...

    Bulldog mill with no adjustment knob

    I've just opened my brand new bulldog mill from GEB. It has no adjustment knob and doesn't look like the picture. Just has two Philips heads for moving the rollers in and out. Can anyone with one comment if theirs is the same?

    Fermenting vessel heating

    I've been using a heat belt since I've started kegging and the fridge is occupied. This is the 1st time I needed to wrap the bucket in a cosy blanket. It wouldn't go above 13C.

    Guiness Clone?

    Brewzilla thread to share knowledge, experiences and good practice

    I'm laughing at this because I did that, blowing into the tube as hard as I could. I can only describe it as an eruption of boiling wort came at my face and spilled out over the floor. I didn't do that again. Haha.

    Brewzilla thread to share knowledge, experiences and good practice

    I done a brew today with no hop spider for the first time. Just chucked 66g of pellets in at 60. I was plagued with a clogged pump after that. Anyone else find this?
