I hadn't thought of putting something over the FV to catch everything when I tip it all in. I'll have a go at that on my next brew.

Just clip the bag up a bit higher with clothes pegs or something. Sanitised of course. I'm no expert but I chuck the whole lot into the FV as I only make 10L stovetop BIAB batches. No Sparge, No Chill. Proper rule breaker stuff. Not had an issue so far and done 7 or so AG brews.

Having read that thread @matt76 Im hoping if I can get it to ferment down lower it will be a lot less sweet. Thinking of a hop stand of 10/15g El Dorado and the same of Mosaic to add a bit more flavour to the brew.

Because the yeast was off I bought a CML West Coast I think to go with this kit. Good to know about the sweetness though hopefully I can balance it out. Edit: Just checked and it's a CML Five.

I got this kit with my starter kit and haven't brewed it yet as I had stove top AG in mind so have done 5 or so of those first but I plan on making this next to really bolster my stocks. It's a bit like an extract kit but instead of DME it comes with liquid malt and some grains to steep. It...

I got 88.2% attenuation off it on my batch of bitter I've just bottled. I think you need to catch it early to get the attenuation I want because that was after 7 days for me. Pitched a lump of the slurry into my Oatmeal stout this morning and it's already blipping away.

I refuse to shop in any Tesco where they do this as the people they employ to do it in my area seem to be absolute bell tips.

Might have a cheeky Erdinger Dunkel whilst watching Wales romp to another fantastic grand slam.

Kegerator and a bigger pot. Or make a very strong wort in your smaller pot and liquor it back.

If you chill the cube while the wort is hot and with the lid sealed it will cause the cube to suck itself in I believe. Or expand. Something to do with chemistry and gasses and all that palava. I no chill in my FV and had no problems so far. Just transfer into it and leave overnight with the lid...

Just did some Google translate and as I slightly suspected it means beer in Gaelic.

It says Irish and Scottish ale yeast on the pack?

Posted this in the wrong thread somehow. I'll say one thing for the Beoir yeast. It's very quick to get going. I pitched it about 7am and it was bubbling away by lunchtime and it's really going for it now.

On the plus side coconut oil is really expensive so you've saved yourself some money on that.

The Klarstein appears to be on offer @ £179.99 this morning plus the £10 sign up bonus. Edit: that's the 25 Litre one.

The only problem with Oxi is that SWMBO has started using it to clean stains off the kids clothes.

11 Litres Newport Bitter Total: 5677

I don't have a clue sorry. Purely based on me having some and seeing it in someone's recipe.

Knew I should have ordered one last night lol. Never mind.
