    Brewzilla thread to share knowledge, experiences and good practice

    I often boil close to this level, 70 batches done now and not been caught out yet. I keep a big stainless steel spoon in one hand, have a close by spray bottle and if needed quickly flick the power switch off. I keep both power switches on until boil then only have the more powerful switch on...

    Crossmyloof "Hell" Lager Yeast - opinions

    I pitched 1pk in18L on Saturday, took about 24hrs to get going at 14C and it's bubbling away happily now. I've used it about half a dozen times in the Spring and been pleased with the results though these were my first attempts at Lager.

I find I have similar problems but it is usually with the newer taller and narrower corny kegs.I still need to experiment to find the best length of silicone tubing. I also have a couple of cask widge floats which don't work...

    Beerworks Southern Gold Digger

    Sorry don't remember the FG (thats why I need notes) and just checked the bottles and not even the ABV written on them. It was only my second brew, now I only do AG as I find it far tastier and cheaper.

    Beerworks Southern Gold Digger

    I made this kit in May as one of the first to try upon my return to brewing after35 years. Unfortunately didn't keep notes like I do now but I remember that I definitely fermented around 20C. I didn't cold crash as I had no means to be able to do and the beer never got really cleared in the...

    I sampled a drop of my first ever ag brew this week. I ended up with 11 litres in a corny keg. Tasted a bit bland so decided on adding more hops in a bag to the corny. I took off about half a litre first into a PET bottle, carbonated it and left in the fridge to use as a comparison. Then added...

    Coopers draught ale

    I ended up with about 22 litres, most of it I put in a corny keg which I have just emptied today. Put 5L in a mini keg which I took to an afternoon party and it all went!

    Coopers draught ale

    I have been drinking this for the last couple of weeks but I aimed to make mine quite weak for summer drinking. Only added 100g dextrose, came out at 2.7 ABV and is surprisingly tasty and not sweet at all
