+1 on the milk. And it doesn't smell either. Works a treat

Try www.beerlabelizer.com They have some free templates and some you need to pay for. I always use their free templates when I do bottle swaps. I don't bother for beer I'm going to drink myself.

In James Morton's book, in his Elderflower Pale Ale recipe, he calls for a 1ltr jug of fresh elderflowers, stalks removed, to be added as an aroma steep, 30mins at no higher than 79°C (for a 20ltr batch). I assume this temperature would kill any nasties. He also adds that if you want an ''in...

Yeast is very important, but not so much whether it's dried or liquid yeast. I use liquid yeast as I can get several brews from one pack, and there is a wider range to choose from. But if the strain of yeast you want exists in dried form, by all means use it. I'm not sure how much better the...

I used TSP as per instructions. Not sure how necessary it was, but it was a major PITA. The warnings that came with the TSP scared the $hit out of me. Safety goggles, heavy duty elbow length rubber gloves. If I bought more SS I'd probably forego the TSP and use oxi

I got some homemade cards (one of which had a drawing of monkeys on it, hanging from a tree, with the words "I love hanging out with you" scrawled at the bottom). And a bottle of gin. The card wins, everytime.

Below is a response to an email I sent in 2016 to The Malt Miller about hop degredation, and using calculators to work out remaining effectiveness.

Freeze them bad boys

I'd recommend keeping the lid off next time you're boiling your wort. You'll lose more through evaporation, but it also allows DMS to escape, which might cause off flavours.

I think it's just a safety feature (in case someone leaves it on by accident and goes to bed or work) rather than over heating causing it to cut out. Mines does it, but turn the dial back to zero, then turn it back on to boil and it starts straight away. I don't think manufacturers would...

South Yorkshire Police Operations Complex is on Letsby Avenue, Sheffield.

I've had a similar thing happen to me, twice. The heat from the wort softens the silicon tube which connects to the copper piping. I now keep a wrench on hand to quickly tighten the connection if it happens again. Nowadays it's mostly a drip that escapes, and I'm pretty diligent about keeping...

I saw the Brewdog one but the last post about it was in 2014. Might call them and ask if they still do it

Does anyone know of any homebrew clubs in the Glasgow/Ayrshire area?

Great idea. Been looking for some inspiration and that's right up my street

1 - siphoning. Get yourself an auto-siphon. You'll get one for less than £20 and it'll make your life so much easier. 2 - I've bought 3 bottling wands and they've all fit straight on to the numerous taps I've bought for my buckets. I don't use a tube between the tap and the bottling wand...

It was a few brews before I wrote a detailed, step by step plan of everything that needed to be done on brew day. I still use it as it means I'll never accidentally miss something out. Probably the best advice I could give for a newbie - have a plan. And if things happen on brew day that you...

Do you mean 3.4kg of grain? I think you'll be close to 18.5-19ltrs after your boil (assuming it's a 60m boil). But unless you transfer all of this to the fermenter, you'll lose some volume as trub. I usually leave about 2litres or so of trub in the boiler. That is, however, a personal...
