just wondering if anything existed in the area for tastings, tips etc. Cheers guys

I should really do a SMaSH at some point... By Kettle profile I mean, I'm struggling to figure how to get Beersmith to recognise a 3 gallon BIAB in a 20litre pan

Hi guys. Recently bought a big old load of Simcoe, Citra and Cascade and am looking to use up the last of my Centennial. Would really appreciate if someone could give a wee look over this for me please. It's a 3 Gallon IPA, being done BIAB, but can't figure out how Beersmith works to add a...

Boak.... Anyway wee update. I didn't bother using the fining in the end, but I did get a fairly clear beer. It's a bit darker than I'd hoped for but here it is anyway... https://imgur.com/srdrHim

Thanks Gunge. I'll not bother then

Fair point. Just wanted to try it to give a bit more clarity to the beer

Hi guys. Going to be using gelatine as a fining agent in an APA I'm about to bottle. Couldn't get powdered stuff, only leaf. How many should I use for a pint of liquid? Cheers

The Stout went out on Nov 5th and the cider only went out on Sunday. The went straight out after bottling

I have been storing my beer and cider in my shed to bottle condition, and I’ve just opened a bottle of my Christmas Stout, and although it tastes ok, it’s flat as a pancake. Will my cider suffer a similar fate, and if I bring it in to the house, will it revive? Outdoor temps are...

What’s your process for this, is it mash in the 15l and use the 5l to sparge then boil in the 15 again?

The stove access isn’t an issue. Although that boiler seems reasonable. I’m guessing you don’t mash in that?

Thanks for the help guys. I think I’m going to get a decent sized stock pot and work from there. The wok burner on my hob is ace for this kind of heating... although I have to admit my wife is becoming concerned when I started pricing up bottles and fermenting buckets etc... I may make...

Think I might just need to invest in some gear then

So does a maxi BIAB Give you the option to do, say 2 or 3 batches out of the same volume of grain, as long as you boil them separately?

I think it’s 7 litres... is that enough for a full volume mash?

I’m still on demijohns and soup pan beer brewing. I’ll have to look in to expanding, or buy enough to do a batch a week, and stick to those 8 pints instead of buying beer

That’s good to know about maltmiller and getterbrewed. I knew that maltmiller did stuff in 1kg batches but didn’t know that they did specific kits. Cheers. On the addictive part, my wife has just laid claim to the rest of the newest batch and I’m going’s to be...

I’ve just cracked open my second small batch beer (Bavarian Hefeweizen) and I’m not sure if I’ve been lucky so far with kits (2 for 2 on enjoyable beer) but I’m now planning more and I’m not sure that 1 gallon batches are going to cut it. What’s your...

Hi guys. I’m thinking of attempting a Christmas stout using the brewstore 1gallon kit and adding in some bourbon soaked orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg for a festive kick. How much of these ingredients should I add and when would I add them the the brew? Thanks in advance from a...
