I have the mangrove jack ss fermenter. I think it was around £130. I really like it, it holds 30L, good features include solid ss handles for carrying, an airtight lid with four clamps, the tap is easily taken apart for cleaning and I can push tubing up into to for kegging. It also has pressed...

I set mine to 5.5C with a 1C variance

I would put it in the bath and fill with cold water. Tap temp is around 19C this time of year, should bring it down.

It’s called the Krausen, it’s normal and it’s the yeast fermenting in the top. Happy brewing

I think coopers brew enhancer is dextrose maltodextrin and dme. So I would be tempted to add 500g dme 300g dextrose and 200g maltodextrin. Something like that would give you a lower abv and a bigger body. I’m sure it will turn out good u less you go silly on one of the ingredients. Probably...

Yeah no probs, I’ve sent them an email. I’ve found my local water report but it doesn’t list calcium, is it named as something else? Also there are about 50 things on there, which ones should I be paying attention to?

Thanks prog, turns out I’m with southern water but have managed to find it via a link!

Sorry to hi jack this thread, but does anyone know the best way to find out your water profile? I’ve had a look on my water suppliers website but can’t find anything about it. Thanks

It looks like your not filling your bottles enough, it’s probably not the main cause, but you want the beer line to be at the narrowest part I.e the neck so there’s less contact with air. Also when you bottle is there still plenty of co2 dissolved in your beer? When I used to bottle there would...

I frequent the three legs brewery as often as possible, their beers are outstanding.

It definitely helps clear the headache in the morning!

20l brown ale 20l American wheat beer 10666 spooky

I think you will be there all night with a paella ring, and I doubt you will be able to maintain a rolling boil especially when dropping your wort chiller in etc, does it have a kw rating on it? I would recommend get something with more umph. Jake

Double brew day today! Stocks have been depleted, again. Sorted out a few issues I was having with the grainfather, ditched the top plate during the mash, I found 99% of the recirculated water was going straight down the middle, this also allowed me to stir the mash more easily. Used a hop...

It has to be the beer. I checked it with two hydrometers and got the same result.

Image quality is poor, re attempt

hi everyone, Something really strange has happened to my last brew. I brewed the old ale recipe from the bible at the beginning of the month. I kept the recipe as in the book, I was suppose to get a OG of 1079 but got 1073 but an extra couple of litres. I did change the yeast to danstar...

There was a group buy on this forum last year, I think I bought 1kg of Amarillo for about £15. They were 2 year old hops and I’ve just finished the last of them and they are still good. It’s a PITA for whoever is organising it all but it would be awesome to get something similar but with 4 or...

I have 200g of these hops in the freezer, I’m probably going to chuck them all into a smash beer, should get a good hop profile from that

Hey mark, you can send me a bottle and I could tell you if it tastes how mine tasted? Pm me for my address.
