    Friday is my Birthday and also Brew Day!

    So the day has come! Birthday Brew Day is upon us. I've weighed out the grains, the hops are all separated into timings, and I have 36L of water on the gas ring outside. First all grain brew ever, fingers crossed for a good batch.

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    I do like the idea of making my own stuff, I recently made a Wort Chiller.. Cost me £43 to make it and then beer hawk went and had a 50% off sale, and now they're £35! So it kinda backfired.. was fun to make though. The problem is I don't have time to make much else... I bought stock...

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    Definitely interested. Just Googled it quick and looks like a decent bit of kit. What's the capacity? I bought a 70L Pot so that I can boil all the water in one go, but maybe 70L was overkill.

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    Googling peco bins has mad my evening :) looks much safer than a precariously placed giant metal pot on a flimsy tin gas ring spitting flames lol

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    I have to say, I'm still confused. :) I assume the element sits away from the plastic bottom?

    beerhawk.co.uk - Black Friday

    Hey Guys, Just wanted to let you all know that www.beerhawk.co.uk have 50% off everything in their northern brewer range.. which annoys me greatly since I've spent about £1000 with them in the last few weeks! Could have saved myself £500 if I waited until today. I just got some extra...

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    ....okay, mind blown! You're boiling in a plastic bucket? This is something I've never seen. And I have to say I'm confused. You have an element in there? Does the element not melt the plastic? Question for both, covering when you boil the wort is supposed to be bad no? I thought we had to...

    Batch Sparge Question?

    Hey Guys, Just a quick Question re sparging. After the mash rest, and before vorlauf, do you top up your water before you drain to slpit the water in half for 2 drains? If my strike water is 15L, then my Sparge Water is 19L, should I be doing mash with 15L, then before vorlauf, add...

    Boiling water. What do you use?

    So, today.. in preparation for tomorrows brew day, I fired up my new gas ring with my propane cylinder... and I can't help but feel that it's a bit dodgy. I have a 70L Boil Pot, and with a 30L test boil today, it actually held up really well and didn't do anything to support my fears.. but 1 70L...

    Friday is my Birthday and also Brew Day!

    I've had to change a few things, but here is the final edit. I found when measuring out for tomorrow that I didn't have enough Chinook. So I made some adjustments and added some Citra to the quantity of missing Chinook, just because they are a similar AA...

    Friday is my Birthday and also Brew Day!

    Changed again for the final time :) It's printed now and it's happening unless anyone sees any glaring mistakes? I didn't realised that I had the volume at 23L still and my fermentasaurus is not here yet so I'll be fermenting in a 19L Big Mouth. So I've set the volume to 20L to allow for any...

    Friday is my Birthday and also Brew Day!

    Changed it again.. increased the 2-Row and added the Caramalt back in. The ABV was looking a bit week, I wanted it sitting around 6%.

    Friday is my Birthday and also Brew Day!

    https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/571462/punk-ipa-clone Here are the adjustments, and I think it looks spot on. I've not bothered with the caramalt as I don't like beers which are very malty, I prefer hoppy. I think this looks good. Can't wait to brew it tomorrow. Just...

    Awesome, thanks :) I'll change the Efficiency down and also will set the mid hops to 5 mins, and see what BF says. Thanks again :)

    Recipe Check....

    https://www.brewdog.com/beer/headliners/punk-ipa Says here that it's 35. But I agree, it does taste very hoppy when you drink it. Maybe they're fibbing. It seems that the DIY Dog recipe book wants to give us some information, just not quite enough to make the beer lol. I have been playing...
