Anyone know of a Joseh Holt bitter recipe. I do miss this one!

Testing this lager made with 30% Maize. 10 days since brew day and 1 day out of the fermenter! Will be crystal clear in a week in the corney..

I am putting 30l in a pressure barrel and the other 12l in 24 bottles. Am I alright putting priming sugar, Malltodexin and Isinglass in the barrel and how much? I usually leave for a couple of weeks after adding sugar etc, vent for a day or so, after that then put on hand pump using a CO...

Just realised where you are from. A chippy tea in that neck of the woods used to be a visit to an old public Toilet!!! If you live near Greenodd you will know what that means 😄

I must admit I'm with Groucho Marks here. "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."! I think I have been put off in the past, I joined a diving club back in the day and they ended up just being a social club. They cared more about the annual ball than actually doing anything...

Mine comes back from Uni and says he prefers mine to the pubs, so proceeds to drink the lot! there again £7/pint might have something to do with it. I could never see them making beer no matter how much they like it as it's a hobby thing and they don't do that unless it's golf!

I am trying to get space in my garage and am moving some equipment due to rationalisation to just one setup. All the kit is from an extremely soft water area so no residue in any equipment. I have a perfectly working 35l Brewzilla v3, It has the jacket but no cooling coil as I used counter flow...

Did all this kit go, I'm looking to up size my HERMS and need a 70l min Mash tun or pot

I have people saying they would like to get into it but it seems too much work, or they don't have the time. A few have started when they find out you don't have to send £k's to do it. I started by watching Beer 'n' BBQ with Larry on Youtube. He had tutorials on how to make grain beer with some...

It could be worse, it's better than the Bud/miller type water filling the shelves, or the Heineken group of beers that were good until they got bought out by them. It seems like flavour is not wanted in most beers. It seems a shame that the best ales are in pubs but they are all disappearing, or...

I heard of that but have also heard it doesn't dissolve very well. I have two kegs so will try one with and one without. Then maybe two with

It hasn't fully settled yet but it tastes ok, actually quite good, just not what I was aiming for. Think I'll just keg that one and hand pump it rather than go through the palaver of bottling it. Just in case

Just trying to perfect a light lager for the summer, got this with 25% rice and used a slight hint of citra with the hallertau mittelfruh. quite nice! next one is more rice and soachi ace.

Did we ever find out what happened to this beer?

Have had some success recently but had a bit of a lapse this week, tiding the garage whilst brewing is not the best idea as one thing has to suffer and in this case its the beer. Started a 50l batch of bitter along the 2 row with crystal malt and chocolate malt route and was going to add cane...

Isn't this doing the same function?: https://brewkegtap.co.uk/products/icemaster-g20-glycol-chiller-digital-fermentation-control-with-2-integrated-pumps-for-dual-temp "Heating The KegLand G20 IceMaster glycol chiller can also be set up to heat the reservoir. There is a push in port on the two...

"When the fermenter is too warm the ITC switches on the heater (I’m assuming at this point the chiller recirculation pump runs continuously). Within the set range neither heating nor cooling is switched on (but I assume the pump continues circulating)." Looks like he is using the ITC like an...

I have only used this yeast under pressure and Fermentis say it's a neutral yeast. That way I know that if I play with grains and hops it's them that is changing the characteristics. I'm more of an experimentalist now and again and have regular favourites now after finding my best combos.

I regularly brew lagers and pilsners at 24degC (76F) at 15PSI in 60litre batches, it finishes after 4 days and then leave for another 3days before crashing.. Last batch was 1.045 and put 56litres into the PET Apollo (60litres snub nose) at 24 degC from counter-flow chiller with two packs of...

I always do 15psi at 20 - 24C and its finished fermenting and cleaning after 7 days, The pressure just stops the esters I think. I thought it took three weeks at 12C to ferment to <1.009, I don't know as I have only ever done pressure brewing as the amount of time put me off. Have you read this...
