    Hazy IPA?

    I’ve been drinking a few hazy IPAs recently. They are generally heavily hopped and unfiltered. Is the haze a result of the hopping or is there something about the heist in these commercial IPas which makes the finished beer hazy? Picture added as an example

    Dark beer kit???

    As an all grain brewer I know very little about what’s good in kits. A friend is just getting into kit brewing and following a successful razorback IPA brew he’s hoping to do a Dark beer. Any recommendations for a good Dark beer kit? Thanks Mike

    Stuck fermentation. Enzyme?

    That was kind of what I was thinking, is it a case of adding just a little or is it a bad idea?

    Stuck fermentation. Enzyme?

    Hi there, I’m brewing a Brut IPA this weekend and so have obtained the required enzyme for this. I was just wondering, if I had a stick fermentation of any other beer, could I add a little bit of enzyme to get it going without it going too dry? Say if t was stuck at 1.020 and I wanted it down...

    Beer gun??

    How exactly does a beer gun work? Is it as simple as corny kegging and force carbing my beer. Then squirt beer into bottle with beer gun and cap the bottle? If beer is carved to say 2 volumes in the keg will it be the same in the bottle when i re open it? How long will beer keep in the bottle...

    Brut IPA water?

    I have had my water analysed but Murphys and have the recommended water additions for different beer styles. I’m planning a Brut IPA and haven’t ever done one before. Should I treat my water the same as I would for IPAs normally?

    Cleaning corny PBW?

    Just emptied my first corny.... Is it ok to clean it out with PBW and then rinse as normal (I’m assuming it is) Will it be ok to flush the line and tap out with PBW any then flush out thoroughly with water??

    Co2 manifold recommendation??

    Would anybody be able to recommend a source for a manifold so I may split one Co2 supply from a single regulator and from that supply supply Co2 to 4 kegs at the same time (all at the same pressure)? Thanks for any recommendations!

    Sparge water temperature?!

    Ok, just googled and come up with the following which I guess answers my question lol . http://beerandwinejournal.com/sparge-water-temperature/ All about not extracting too many tannins!

    Sparge water temperature?!

    I’ve always sparged with 78deg (fly sparge) just because it’s what I read I should be doing..... Is there good science to back this up or could one go hotter without affecting efficiency? Pretty sure the 78deg water is intended to increase viscosity of sugars in the MT and also halt enzyme...

    Brewers friend help??

    I’ve been using brewers friend to work out my recipes for a while now and mostly is quite good. In a previous recipe I put UK black malt (Thomas fawcett) in the fermentable box. Somehow this is no longer an option. Any ideas why I can’t find it anymore??

    Lactose post fermentation?

    So it’s not really a brief explanation but....... I use brewers friend software to plan my recipes. Through this and using the mikkeller book I formulated a milk stout recipe. I had it stall on me twice at 1.030, the bf software had predicted an FG of 1.020. I was advised that the level of...

    Lactose post fermentation?

    Looking for some advice... I’m tinkering with a milk stout recipe and I’ve recently had difficulty getting beer with lactose to ferment as I’d like. If I brew a milk stout but leave out the lactose (instead of chucking it in the boil). I could then allow the beer to ferment as a normal stout...
