Next decision is how much sugar do I use when bottling?! Don't want any bottle bombs!

It's down to 1.009 and has been for three days. I'm very pleased with the orange taste from the trial jar and it still has the honey sweetness. It still has what look likes a foamy krausen in the FV which I'm surprised after 12 days and a steady reading.

I've just started kegging. I crank up to 30 psi then disconnect the gas. A week or two and it's carbonated. You can shake the keg to "force" the co2 into the beer. There are a few thread on here about it plus plenty of videos on YouTube. You will not serve at 30 psi. I serve at around 10 psi...

As a few weeks of not watching The Americans we are backing watching it and have just started season 2. Still loving it!

A week into fermentation and reading is 1.015 from 1.057 Nice sweet taste but not sickly. Hopefully won't drop too low and be too dry. Saw this after my brew day. I put the honey in at the start of fermentation after I had dissolved it in a little warm water. It didn't say either way if...

It is quite a simple recipe plus has the addition of sugar which I'm guessing is unlikely to be what Adnams use.

There is a recipe for Broadside in a Graham Wheeler book I have.... As well explorer and their bitter.

Sorry my next question is how much ABV will 10 points add? With the grain bill coming out with 3.8% ABV I don't want it becoming too alcoholic.

This weekend im going to brew from the Brewdog recipe PDF - B-SIDES ORANGE BLOSSOM. There is an addition 1KG of honey to get this orange blossom flavour. It says “If possible use the orange blossom honey addition at the end of fermentation to carbonate the beer, this will keep the...

Currently I have it at 20c in the brew fridge and it has been in there for 24 hours. Shall I lower the temp until brew day and then increase temp on the brew day and add to the wort?

I haven't brewed for a good couple of months on the Braumeister so was looking forward to my early start and brew day. I made my starter in my Erlenmeyer Conical Glass Flask as the liquid yeast has been in the fridge for quite a while. Went to get started this morning and the pump was silent...

Got myself a weekend ticket. In for a penny in for £15!

Is this what you are after? https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=3694

I got some Amarillo from them earlier in the year which had 3.8% on the packaging which I thought was low. I checked the website and it should have been 8.3% and they confirmed it was a printing error. Maybe this is the case for the challenger you have?

I think Ahtanum is used in quite a few Brewdog recipes.

I plan on getting the Intertap branded taps when im at that stage. Love your bar by the way. Have you got your beer in a fridge behind along with the CO2? Did you just build a simple frame and then attach the wood from the pallet?

The rubber is very cracked. The other referb is no where as cracked but yet to use it. I guess that's the lottery of refers?!

The 2 additional kegs I purchased were re-ferbs from the malt miller. They were supplied pressurised so it terms of seals no problem there. I kegged for the second time last night and the one I used the black rubber around the top rubbed off on my hands a lot when wet which was a bit annoying...

Only been in the keg 6 days after force carbonation and couldn't wait any longer to try it! Tastes pretty good and the carbonation is about right although it could take more. This going to be a great BBQ beer! Only slight problem I have is that some of the dry hops were leaf so some have...

Good to hear the above about starsan. My wife is happy that I'm moving onto kegging as she always helps me with bottling. She does always help me drink my beer too!
