Melanoidin is similar but different. I've used both. It's definitely worth adding some acid as there isn't much in the grain bill to drop the pH. I'm not sure how much though as it depends on your water profile. I use ro water and add about 5ml of lactic acid for what it's worth. Have also used...

might well be into a citra saison, but probably will wait to check i dont drink it while my heathen friends are over.

maybe ill send you one if i dont finish them all over the festive tide. next batches are still probably about six months from their prime

Cheers. Ddh is double dry hop. Glad you liked it. To be honest the second dry hop took a lot longer for the burn to subside, and there was still more than I'd have liked when i bottled it and consequently less carbonation too, although i prefer this style on the low side of fizzy. You guessed...

Drinking my Russian Imperial stout (i think, lost the bit of paper, that's what it tastes like) Vely nice.. Super rich, almost salty soy sauce initial mouthfeel giving way to more complexity.. getting some nice spicy notes that meld with the alcohol. A finish of liquorice and toasty roast...

I can't watch

I reckon your solution is to stop doing it one handed and coax up a few extra hands with some promise of free beer! I can only imagine ffin about with those JG guys is a pain. Also i just broke my regulator just when a mate came over. Certainly a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong at...

I just read about the beer cooler. How does that work? I've heard people having problems with them sometimes. Also the colder you can keep the kegs the better.

Just disconnect the closest gas in fitting. Should work unless they have no return valves in the keg. Alternatively you could try inverting the keg and opening the tap so that the beer is below the dip tube. The reason there are bubbles in the line is there is not enough friction in the system...

Yea I'm not sure about flow controllers really. I just have a long long line. What kind of kegs are they? I suppose if you disconnect a gas in line it will vent regardless of type. Then just slowly increase the pressure in the system until it pours well.

Add some Brett? Not sure i understand using the fermented beer as water? Did you mash with it and boil?

The problem is likely with your beer lines. You need a certain pressure to keep the gas suspended. This can be done with long thin lines or a flow regulator. Unfortunately the only thing you can do without one of these options is to turn the pressure down and vent the keg, and then turn it back...

this is like mcgregor v mayweather. i cant watch

Heretic! Only wetherspoons ale shall be permitted in our glorious British future. Keep Brussels out of our pints of view

Yes it's really only a guesstimate as proscess will differ, however a good start point is to use the brewers friend or beersmith app and the whirlpool calculator. Bear in mind that the calculator has only a set temp field to work out the isomerisation, which is don't think allows for cooling in...

It's a good point, but the argument is about proportionality, i think it's a pretty small chance of life threatening injury. The problem of course is that technology and rules can make criminals almost unstoppable, if you're not allowed to run any risk of injuring them you might as well just...

Oh on inspection of the empty box I see I enjoyed three bottles last night.. that'll explain the groggy head this morning... Just noticed they are all the same brewery. The gulden draaks seem to be the winners.

I can confirm that two bottles on top of my usual regimen of homebrew is bad for sobriety...

11.99 in oban..

Necromancer here. Supping on the new Lidl Belgian beer box that has reached these Northern lands for once.. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lidl-6-exclusive-belgian-beers-1099-2844849 Pretty decent I'd say so far. Not too keen on the pirates ones, bit high on the higher alcohols, but the others...
