Apologies.. Does this one work? https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/571462/punk-ipa-clone I have been playing around with it to see if the numbers change.

Brewing this tomorrow chaps, anyone have any thoughts on the high IBU and ABV? I don't want it to come out like rocket fuel :( Could the high ABV mean I have too much malt? I thought about 5kg for 20L is about right? EDIT: If I play around with the recipe, by increasing the volume to 23L and...

Hey Guys, I did post this as part of another thread over in brew days, but actually thought it deserved it's own thread.. because of the specificness of the questions I've created a recipe on BF based on Punk IPA, as I was struggling to find one with my measurements. I based this pretty...

Thanks for the info.. not really what I'm looking for. As I don't want to have to open the fridge :D The one I'm referring to has a digital display which you can mount on the front of the fridge and an inline adapter which measures the flow through the line. You can callibrate it to the size...

Based on advice, I've taken the guidelines from other recipes and also the DIY Dog book and have created this recipe on BF. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/571462/punk-ipa-clone I would really appreciate your thoughts before I brew this on Friday??? Do the water...

Hey Guys, So I saw on a YouTube video that a guy had a flow meter that told him how many pints were left in his keg, and was measure by intersecting the beerline with a flow meter. I've had a look at that brand and there doesn't seem to be anything available in the UK by that brand. Do...

Well I have to say I'm amazed and impressed. I primed the bottles and have left them, as they're not for me. As I previously mentioned, I kegged the remainder... pressured it to 20psi and left it for a couple of days. In the meantime my new fridge arrived. So last night, I drilled a couple of...

I've just watched this, which was very interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8mEJ_WTJ2o If I were to follow this method of calculating strike water I'd use 19.8L of strike water. So that's pretty much the same as the recipe.. I'm working on calculating the sparge water now.

Annoyingly not only am I all grain brewing for the first time, I'm using all new equipment. I've got a new boil kettle and a gas burner, so my extract brews on my kitchen hob may not prove to be a useful comparison. The boil kettle I've got is a high wide 70L pot, and I have a 7kw burner... so...

Oh, maybe this wasn't a good recipe for me to follow? This is what the mash instructions say on my brew day schedule on BF: Is this just saying that based on my settings the strike should be 17.2 no 19? Is there anything I should do ahead of Friday to make the recipe more accurate for me...

Hey Guys, So I've taken on board all the advice you have all been so helpful to give me. I've also watched about 100 YouTube videos... and finally Friday is the day. My first ever All Grain brew. I've done loads of extract brewing, so once it's in the boil kettle, I'm comfortable.. but...

I think it seems the general consensus is not to make a starter and pitch straight from the packet. So that is what I'll do. Most recipes seems to use Wyeast or other brands that I can never get hold of. I pretty much can only get Fermentis and as such I use Safeale us-05 for pretty much all...

Do you guys generally make a yeast started for dried yeast? Or only when using liquid yeast? I think the cell count is higher on dried yeast and as such I don't believe a starter is generally needed, but is it best to just make one anyway?

I think I'll open the bottles and add some corn sugar, as these bottles are for someone else. Mines in the keg. I'd hate for theirs to be pants. Should I mix the sugar first with something? Or just dump it in the bottles?

I actually ordered some muslin cloth, but it didn't arrive before I racked it. Next time :-)

Just tried my first taste of Thornbridge Otto and keen to hear thoughts from others. The coffee notes are intoxicating, although for a strong ABV, dark beer.. it tastes surprisingly light. I'm impressed with this. My beer before this was Brew Dog's Mr President. Which is one of my...

....jeez, I am so bad at this. I ask a question, then go an answer it myself. I've got BF to show me all in metric it seems. I'm going to look at this as it does seem to answer a lot of my queries.. I'm really just looking for a dummies recipe for brew day because I know I'll be so flustered...

I looked for a recipe on Brewers Friend, since they support the forum and it seems that I get all the information (if not most) that this spreadsheet does.. and if it supports the forum, I'll gladly buy an account on BF. But is it configurable does anyone know? When I click on...

Hey Guys, Me again.. I'll stop asking questions soon. But you're all so knowledgeable and helpful that I just want to learn as much as I can. I've learned a little from a guy on YouTube. Larry Beer n BBQ, not sure if you've seen his stuff... but he has a brewing template. Which really...

I see, makes sense. I kegged it today and only ended up with 3/4 of a keg due to a dodgy bottling excersize lol. But it's by the front door now at 20psi (keeping it cool, I thought it may help). Then in a couple of days I'll bring the pressure down. My kegerator arrives tomorrow, so in a...
