I believe general consensus is you shouldn't have the lid fully on as there are substances that are removed via the steam. Some people will put the lid on to bring up to boil and then remove or only partially have it covered. Personally I don't use a lid at all but I have a small boil on the...

Brulosophy did one of their experiments on it (http://brulosophy.com/2019/09/16/kettle-hops-stainless-hop-spider-vs-loose-additions-exbeeriment-results/)

Thats hilarious. Get quite the sugar rush off that. @davidfromUS medication would be quite straight forward to monitor control of i guess. I think i am right in thinking non (or low alcohol) beers have potentially as much alcohol as a ripe piece of fruit. Hency why they are ok for pregnant...

Are there laws around this in the UK at all? I got ID'ed the other day buying a non alcoholic beer which slightly confused me!

Hi guys, currently waiting for my 2 FVs to become available and reading lots. I have started to worry about my process and thought I would run it past you. Currently I do a form of Maxi BIAB. so I mash with a full grain bill, split the wort between 2 pans for the boil and then liquor down to...

If you think people would appreciate it, you could always do something like a barley wine, do extra and then you have something to open on anniversaries

Most people I have given homebrew to have actually asked for more. My father in Law seems to be constantly drinking my beer at the moment which I am taking as a big plus. It doesn't have to say homebrew on it. Should just look like a nice bottle of beer for people to enjoy.

I have bought one recently as I didn't really like cleaning muslin and got fed up chucking things away. still waiting for the beer to come out of FV so no idea yet how its gone but I found it reduced the intensity of the boil. I did feel the wort moved through the filter and actually when I...

Crossmyloof are good for standard 25g or 50g packs of hops. I try to plan 2 brews at the same time so that I can use up what I have bought other wise you end up with lots of loose ends you don't ever use.

I didn't do homebrew but did make 2 different flavoured vodkas for a family members wedding. Men got pineapple, ladies got strawberry. Did this in 35ml bottles and with a tag looked really good. The wedding "theme" was alice in wonderland so tied in well. This also worked well because the...

This sentence applies to most things in life as far as I am concerned.

I brewed 2 batches recently with grain that had been in the garage for 2 years. It was in plastic. Both beers came out fine. Depends how much you enjoy your brewday and whether you need to use it

Thanks for the link, if i start struggling with head retention or hop flavour, will certainly try out limiting out the break

Will let you know how this turns out. I will laugh if its crystal!

Ah cool, that sounds good. Liking the honesty on the ingredients label! Sounds like a good addition to a scotch egg.

Interesting idea! My only slight reservation is you would tie up your brewing equipment until fermentation is done but if that works for you i cant see a down side. I would want to change the tap for a easier to clean one and if it was me, would use a hop spider so the wort isnt fermenting on...

100g grams crystal is unlikely to make massive difference i would guess... mashing too high would either lead to no sugars being converted as enzymes would denature or if not that high the longer chains (beta amylase?!) Would result in higher final og take another reading tomorrow and if its...

Depends how quickly they walk and how many units of alcohol they drink

Thats an interesting point. I also no chill so the wort cools down slowly over night. I havent had any chill haze yet however also dont chill my beers for that long and they stay at (cool) room temperature. Would say i will check out my next bstch and see but its a wheat beer...

Sound good! awards for patience on that one. Can I just ask what Scrapple is?
