Hi guys facing a problem here was just out checking my hops there the luplins are starting to develop on the cones that I have developed so far. I'm away on holidays next Friday for nearly three weeks do you think my hops will be ruined by then they are both first year plants good load of...

This is what I'm using currently which I bought from my homebrew show and most people I know here use too would it not be straight forward enough to fill it of the other ones I got with the normal press down valve get one of the refill kits like the ones you use for paintball canister ect

Hi i normally use a fire extinguisher which has been moded with the wee twisty valve on top to open close the gas. I have recently acquired a couple of large co2 extinguisher which haven't been moded still have the wee press down lever on them is it possible for me to use these if I tap the...

Sounds good to me I'll do similar I'll do 7 days 16°c then 7 days 20°c then lager in a keg In my kegerator for at least a month as I'll be away on holidays then toll October. Lagering in the keg shouldn't be a problem should it bar first. Couple pints being cloudy

Did you lager it after the two weeks too

What temperature should I ferment this yeast at I seen people say 14 then raise to 20 after 4day also how long should I wait till transferring to secondary seen people suggest lagering kolsch can I do this in the keg for month or two and just have the first couple pints cloudy. Any advice much...

I have neipa in fv did first dry hop in hop bag with pellets second dry hop I am just throwing in and cold crashing it.would the yeast cake still be good to pitch straight on top or would the hop sludge ruin the following beer..also its another neipa I was planning to put on yeast cake

Yeah meant fruit or spices.. Would you be able write a wee step by step breakdown in how the process goes and what is required to make a 5gal batch if you don't mind or link one please for us to see thanks

There beer in them kegs are already carbed up the gas is only used to dispense it

sorry for jumping in on post I'm interested in sweet wine about 10% have hydrometer and all that never tried wine yet and want to try one mainly just made beers and couple ciders. Is there any nice mixes with blackberries too

First dry hop has to be during fermentation for an Neipa.. I just put one of them in nylon hop sock the other one in the tea infuser will just throw the pellet in for the second dry hop like i normally do. Was just hopping could avoid having to use hop sock or anything guess it's the best way

Not trying to gain anything from the hops just don't want to add hop bags or tea infusers to my beer with all extra cleaning and just an extra risk of infection

yeah five days is how long I do my first dry hop on a Neipa but with it having to be done during high krausen (two or three days into fermentation) if I was to just throw them in would have another ten days till I would want to transfer it to keg because would want to leave the yeast to do its...

Hi I have two Neipa on the go at the minute been in two and a bit days so about to add hops. I normally put them in hop bag or tea infuser thing and take it out after few. day's.. Was wonder can I just throw them straight in and leave them in twice as long (10 days) then rack into keg and dry...

Yeah I heard that alright I had mint in my flower bed last year for that. Reason and because me and the miss like a mojito from time to time as well lol.. Has to rip it out this year doh because it just was spreading everywhere stuck to my one in the pot... So I would assume a couple pansies or...

Hi this is my hop progress so far just wondering would it be okay stick couple bedding flowers in the pots beside the hopes or would that put hop plant under strain

Found bigger reports is there enough info on this also found out total hardness (as ca) is 43

It's not the green I'm concerned about its just hop pellets I put in yesterday for the last dry hop it's the weird bubbles and white which concerned me

Yeah have never had it on any brews I have done till now both the Neipa had the same yeast and the other one had none of the weird bubble or clumpy stuff going cold crash it now so hops will drop to bottom and rack into corny
