Hi, Brewed an all grain Hoppy APA kit from Get Er Brewed on my Brew Monk yesterday (its first outing). All went OK I think but I'm wondering what's floating in my OG sample and if it's perhaps indicative of something I may have done wrong or just normal and nothing to worry about.

What Clint said.

Hi Beercat, It's a Malt Miller kit (Rob's Twisted Stout) and it came with NBS Ale Yeast. Didn't crash it it the end and am bottling it later today.

Hi, Got a stout in the FV which has been there 2 weeks and I'm not sure if I should cold crash it or not. Obviously I'm not worried about clearing it but I wasn't sure if there were any other benefits. I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask before I keg it. Cheers, Brewista.

I know there's not a lot of love for Brewdog on the forum at the moment and that their marketing dept. will be sure to let everyone know what they are doing but their endeavour is clearly more than just "a cynical marketing stunt". However much/little sanitiser they make and distribute/sell it...

The first of many puns I should think :laugh8:

Brewdog to start making hand sanitiser at their distillery in Scotland clapa

Yes please athumb..

The last two brews I've filled the stock pot dangerously close to the top! I stand over it and as soon as a boil is about to start I turn the heat right down and break up the foam gently. I have a spray gun with Starsan in on hand as well as a jug of chilled Ashbeck water just in case. After a...

... and it's not 17 litres of wort, that's the size of my stock pot. I start with 16 litres and lose about 4.5 to the boil so it's only actually roughly 11.5 of wort I'm cooling. Cheers, Brewista.

Hi, I did say "about 20 minutes" which in reality is looking more like 30+ and I've never actually timed it before, it was just meant to be a rough guide to my process. Nearly cooled now though athumb..

Hi Cwrw666, I've not tried no chill but have read a little on here about it. The brew I'm doing now is only half of the ingredients I bought so may do another batch soon and not chill so I can compare. On the face of it it would seem a lot easier. Cheers, Brian.

Hi Darrellm, Once cooled I've tried using an auto siphon to transfer to the FV but that kept getting blocked with hop sludge and trub so I now use hop bags in the boil and just add via a sterilised sieve. This still results in some trub making into the FV though. I'm not overly worried about...

Thanks Baron. Much appreciated. Just sparging now...

Hi, Currently mashing Greg Hugh's "Amarillo Single Hop Ale" and have a query. This is my fifth all grain brew but my first which requires a flameout addition. I'm a BIAB brewer and at the end of the boil I move my 17 litre stock pot from the hob to the sink to cool. I can usually get the temp...
