Ive been brewing 9 months now and i have done many batches using a plastic bucket fermenter and transferring into the lid of the keg with a beer line then closing the lid and purging it a few times with co2 before carbonating. Im looking to change and i was thinking of purchasing a fermzilla but...

Ive been working on this water report and turns out a lot of information is on the website but i could not get anything on the minerals; calcium, magnesium and pottasium. I also used a converter which im not sure is correct but i multiplied the caco3 (85) by 0.6 which should result im my...

Just a quick one im on MLHB website and they have liquid calcium chloride and flaked.. would both work with rhem ratios?

I was thinking from the start i could brew the lager in my shed but the temp was always around 14 to 18c whithout awarness of different yeasts i was probably using some dat required 10 to 12 c. I had problems with those lagers so ill stick to the pale ale, but ill pick up some of that yeast for...

Sorry man i posted that as an example of the screw on connection compared to the other! Im wondering is there some sort of compatible connection or a type of faucet that makes these connections. Also with that chinese faucet ( no insult taken!!) Im unsure about how to go about hooking up a beer...

Im thinking i could have got caught out with the tap on the end of the fermenting buckets, that would be one of my infection I was thinking the same that i would like to try a more forgiving style that can ferment at ambient between 14 to 18 c. This way i could brew more beer quicker as i dont...

You are right because i checked the temp and its 16 slowly dropping. Do you think ill cause more damaged lowering the temps right down or gradually, or start again!!

I found a cold spot in my house and seems to be about 10 to 14 most times i check as its a cold winter. I brewed 2 lagers since yesterday so im hoping to do this right! I pitched the yeast around 20 and kept it about 18 overnight then this morning i put it in my cold spot and i could here plenty...

I made an attempt at a guinness replica aswel and that tastes very sour but i heard stouts can be bad to begin, before conditioning but would it taste disgusting after fermentation, probably not! I moved house and left them in the old house for a few weeks. One was inside the house about 15 to...

I was hoping i could it didnt seem to let me send it

Cheers for the info and some good ideas

I tried a heineken clone recipe i found online and and as it was my 2nd batch i was very new to the game! The hops required hallerter herbsucker but they were out of stock so i used hallerter blanc thinking it would be similar. I fermented for 18 days and kegged for a week and the whole time its...

Im new to brewing and im brewing lager most of the time. Im trying to brew light clear beers and i hear gelatine helps. I also use a whirfloc tablet during brewing so not sure if the clash. Do i use any powder gelatine at the local supermarket or is there a specific type for brewing? Im also...

Im new to brewing and not sure about the use for gypsum. Im based in Ireland and using tap water. At the moment im brewing lager and stout. Im guessing the water should be simular in the UK. Should I use gypsum?
