I’ve got a bottle of Thos Hardy ale I bought years ago.... Is it worth anything?

I run a 200LITRE brewhouse with 1/2” connections, no problems at all with flow rate etc. Given you have barbs Etc I’d go 1/2”

Trying to boost my efficiency a little..... When sparging I usually do as follows: 1- vorlauf until wort comes clear 2- make sure runnings are at correct L/min (usually 1) 3- sparge water in the top of the tub at the same rate, while collecting runnings in boiler 4- continue as above until I...

I usually go for about 2.5 litres per kilo of grain for strike water (all grain) My latest brew may push the limits of my mash tun a bit...... What’s the minimum water I could get away with and not harm efficiency??

Casks are usually tapped when they are level on the stillage. Then tilted when they are getting near to being empty. The auto tilt just makes this easier....

It’s possible to not need a separate boiler...... Use your boiler to heat strike water then mash in Then use boiler to heat sparge water and keep sparge water at correct temp while lautering. (Drain wort into spare plastic FV) After layering is complete empty any remaining water from boiler...

A shame. I went there for a visit while on a holiday with friends about 25 years ago. Fascinating place.

I currently use torrified wheat for aiding head retention, if I were to use FB instead would I just swap the same quantity? Or should I use both??

Typically for an RIS you’d be expecting an SRM of 30-40 Yours looks on the lighter end of the scale but still within the bracket at a guess?

Ps, if the beer finishes at 1.010 then it’ll be 4.2% abv

1.042 would certainly be much weaker than a 6% beer OG. You now need to ferment your kit and take a reading when it’s finished (probably in about 2 weeks). The OG (1.042) and the FG (which you will measure in 2 weeks time) need to be inputted into an AbV calculator and this will tell you the...

I’m not sure it matters much but: Her parents are both African-American. On the television series Finding Your Roots, genealogical research and DNA testing indicated that Jarrett also has French, Scottish, and Native American ancestry. So I guess she’s probably ‘black enough’ to take extreme...

Never made wine so this might be a silly question..... Is there any potential problems from oxidation of the wine? I know it’s a potential problem when racking beer and wondered if wine was the same?

I’d say they’ll get a good wash in the mash tun lol.

All sounds rather complicated. 1) build recipe on brewers friend or similar (it will give you exp pre boil SG and exp OG and exp FG) 2) boil wort then measure OG 3) ferment 4) measure FG

Give it a stir once in a while thru the hopstsnd period. Many commercial and some hi-tech home brewers have systems which create a whirlpool in the boiler with pumps. This collects the trub I’m a cone at the base of the boiler....

I’d be very interested in knowing about this too!

I’ve just bought a maxi 210 beer cooler. I need some help with how to set it up for what I need it for. I want to use it to cool a tub of water which I will use to cold crash my FV (my FV has an internal cooling coil which has its own pump and controls so I just need a cold Water bath). Do I...

Yes the yeast in the wherry kit does have a reputation for sticking at 1.020! PM me your address and I’ll post you a pack of Crossmaloof real ale yeast (I’ve got a couple hanging around in the fridge) if you like?
