    Cwtch by Tiny Rebel Brewery

    Yeah it's pretty straight forward to build a fermenting chamber if you have some basic diy skills and YouTube it. Well worth the effort, my beers definitely improved once I got that done. It's still worth putting into a secondary for a couple weeks to clear though, put it somewhere cold in the...

    Cwtch by Tiny Rebel Brewery

    Hi Liam, this really is a murky brew. Imo it's def worth putting into a secondary or cold crashing for a week or two. When I made this kit I hopped in a muslin bag, then cold crashed for two weeks, it resulted in a crystal clear beer. My brother in law made this recently without the muslin or...

    100% co2 or 70/30 nitro?

    100% co2 or 70/30 nitro? I use 100% co2 in my kegerator, but I'm noticing as my beers reach their desired carbonation they get more bitter. I don't mind it too much, it's a little bit harsh at first, but mainly the wife and some friends notice it more. I've read that co2 can do this somehow...

    Wobblygob - not fermenting and SG of 1.22(!)

    dan125's 2018 brewdays

    Sure thing, I just kegged/bottled said beer and it's fine. The bitterness has mellowed, it's come out quite malty. I'm happy to swap in a couple weeks when's it's carbonated.

    dan125's 2018 brewdays

    Hey dan, let me know how bitter it turns out. I recently whirlpooled an IPA at 75 for 30mins, it's tasted super bitter before fermentation, almost ready to keg it so will see how it turned out, but I'm concerned the flame out hops have added unintentional bitterness. Jake

    How long do you retain temperature control of fermentation?

    I usually let a brew sit for 2-3 weeks in the fermentation fridge, just because that's about how long it takes to empty a keg. But I let my supplies run pretty much dry and the last few weeks I have been let a brew sit for 5 days in the fermentation fridge, and the remaining 9 it sits on the...
