Well just as an update I cold crashed the lot and filled the keg from the fv tap. Looks like some sediment went through but mostly nice clear pink goodness. Forced carved and will leave for a few days. Off to update litres brewed thread

"pop a small knob of it onto your tongue and feel as it melts on your tongue " I can feel my gout coming on just reading that!

Hi Have done the GH raspberry wheat beer - added the mashed up fruit to fv after 2 days as per recipe. Been fermenting for 2 more weeks and is down to 1.012 - again as recipe. Question is what is the best way to cold crash for another week before I put it into a cornie? Just cc it withe fruit...

3 across and 4 up from the green bottom - good survey made you think (see why there was no neutral option).

Well I've got two on the go - a black one and a Scots bonnet - just outside in Devon, in pots in a tray to keep them watered.

Don't think people are riled (I'm not) just think home brew 'impact' is limited: Compost your grain Reuse your water Reduced transport costs (driving home with those bottles from the supermarket) We recycle our own glass bottles Couple of plastic bags for your grain and hops - now if you flew...

I use the cooled water to water our plants - hops and tomatoes need lots of water in summer. Maybe not so in winter but you usually need less water to cool then. Have to agree with some others here just do your best and not beat yourself up about it.

First site I found started with "Growing hops is one of the hardest crop choices in farming" as I said not the best gardener - more a plant and hope for the best approach!

Thanks Terry - yes was thinking of alternating with miracle gro. seems odd you stop feeding when the burrs (assume the flowers) start when with tomatoes I think you start feeding when they appear. Not that I'm a gardening (well I am but a not a good one!).

From top of the pot to the apex of the arch is 2.5m so if they continue over each other they should have about 3m - not sure what the fuggles will do then. Wanted to leave them to themselves this first year and then train a bit more next. How are people feeding - I was just going to use liquid...

Well mine have reached the top of the 8 ft arch I attached them to. I don't really want them to go much higher (one is supposed to a dwarf anyway) so can I manage the grow by cutting off the top shoots and just let the newer lower ones continue to grow up and thicken out the arch? And do I need...

19lt of Hobgoblinish Total 7749 lt

Funnily enough I just saw a ladybird in the garden! Tried to put it on the plant but it flew away. Are they usually out this early?

1 - 55 2 - yes but trimmed frequently so more facial hair thing! 3 - 95kg 4 - erm thinning on top so 60-70%?

Mine are taking off well now - have them in pots and they are 6 feet tall and thickening out at the base. Have noticed some b lack flies and ants on them any suggestions on how to get rid - or do hops grow fast enough to handle this?

So plan to do a take on Orfs Hobgoblin recipe at the weekend in my new Klarstein ( second brew). Using up what I have but trying to stay in the same ballpark. Pale malt 4.3kg Crystal 360g Chocolate malt 100g Mash 67c for 60 min and a 75c mashout for 15 mins. Sparge up to volume ( still working...

Well I just got a klarstein recirculation boiler but only done one brew on it. Prior to that a burco boiler and coolerbox mash tun. Plastic fermentor in a temp control fridge. All into cornies.

Suppose she bought it thinking you wouldn't have to spend so much time with your beer. Then half way through Eastenders you said while looking at your phone And the magic was broken! ;)
