    As above, I cacluate how much sugar I need for the batch size and beer type, tend to use unrefined sugar and boil with a pint of water, cool and add to bottling bucket if bottling or Pressure Barrel if using that, syphon on top and job done.

    The Process of Making Barley into Malt

    Great video, knew a lot but not all the process and nice to see it's progress from field to ingredient.

    First BIAB comes up short

    I would check your OG against what you were expecting, if it's the right strength but short on volume I'd leave it be and then work out what area went wrong, and see what it tastes like. If the OG is way over there are calculators for working out how much to dilute by. I brewed short by...

    Using mobile phones while driving (again)

    I see people on their phones every single day whilst commuting, real cross section of people. The message just isn't sinking in, I mean seriously it can wait.

    A Useful Resource: How To Brew, by John Palmer

    Mine arrived today, an epic book in size and content, can't wait to dive into it fully. Was just reading the preface in the kitchen and the Mrs wanders up, "What you doing?" Er reading I show her the book and get, "Thought you knew how to brew?" She'll never understand.......

    No Chill method

    These (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003URSXQI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) look like a good deal at under a fiver. From a quick mooch, there are plenty of choices it would seems

    No Chill method

    I can feel a plan forming for double brew days, get one done and into a no chill cube, whilst starting the next, pitch to one and leave the other for when the first has fermented. I don't get to do a brew day often so this could help with stocking. If it is left in a no chill cube, is there a...

    Simple AG#4 - BIAB with Peco. The learning curve !

    I use a Peco and a home built version as part of my 3 vessel set up and have happily boiled 29 litres post sparge, it's always worth keeping a close eye when approaching boil and when doing hop addtions, but I have found that the 2.4KW element doesn't produce that vigorous a boil so not had an...

    Ed Sheeran

    He's not one for me, talented yes and a dab hand (or is that foot) with the loop pedal to be a one man band, but I felt that it was an act that would have been better live as it didn't really work for TV, just one bloke on a massive stage. Needless to say I found something else to watch.

    Hot weather & Old beers

    Spotted another this morning in one of the bottle crates, totally contained so no issues with damaged or spearing anyone, a newer brew this time, my Hobgoblin clone, it was a bit frisky that one though. These are all second hand bottles, and not first use, so probably a combination of issues...

    Hot weather & Old beers

    So I was in the garage earlier taking the rubbish out and heard a bang, like a tyre giving way, I couldn't work out for the life of me what it was, checked all the bikes etc. Out there again just now to check the temperature in the fermentation box I find the cause of the bang, an old bottle of...

    Easy Keg 5L

    I have some money from a recent birthday that I'm going to spend on brewing items, is there anything else, I currently favour Pressure Barrels (basic with a S30 cap) but these smaller kegs seem like a good idea and easier to keep cool when we do have hot weather like now, looking at what is...

    Nottingham as a hot weather yeast

    Excellent, looks like this has moved up the list of desired items. It looks pretty big, does it swamp a standard 25 litre FV?

    Nottingham as a hot weather yeast

    As I ferment in my garage and this time of year it can get pretty warm even with my best efforts of keeping the temp down this is very usueful to know. @MyQul how do you find the Cool Brew Bag, I'm thinking of getting one to replace my fermenting crate, as I still don't have the room for a...
