Cheers. This seems to be the general consensus elsewhere.

So to update on this... Tested the gravity today and it's showing to be around 8.4% but it's still bubbling away. I've added the hops and I was hoping to bottle on Saturday. This might not happen now as I've been informed that I might be travelling for work tomorrow night! Do I 1: leave it...

Brilliant, cheers.. I've done it like this before but I've seen someone say it needs to be sealed and thought I'd check 😅 It's bubbling away quite nicely on its first full day of fermentation.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. My fridge doesn't allow for a traditional airlock so I've used a bit of tube going to some boiled and cooled water in a sterilised bottle. Is the tube too long? Should it be a sealed connection to the bottle? It looks like some of the foam has travelled...

Calculate how much you need for your level or carbonation and dissolve it in some hot water prior to putting it into your bucket. I've done this before and never had an issue. Others might have a different way. I usually go around 120g of dextrose in 200ml of hot water. I've always gone...

Made 16ltr of the Mangrove Jacks Belgian Tripel yesterday. Starting gravity of 1.074/5. Pitched the 20g sachet of the kit yeast at 25°c and will meet it at that temp for 7 days before adding the Kit hops. Instructions say it's best to ferment between 24&28°c. I've never made a Belgian Tripel...

I've been cutting my big beers for a bit, I'm attempting to do dry Jan and a bit more until I go to Cornwall in Feb half term. Then I'll get to a few local breweries (and hope that St Austell have Big job in stock) Big Mash Gang fan. They are trying some really good stuff and on all honesty...

No, I didn't bother in the end. Read that they don't do spare parts and people have had issues with various things failing.

That's a great deal. I'm still considering what to go for after returning my Grainfather.

Just the one tonight.

From 0.5 to 8.4% 😂 This is what I want my beers to come out like. Hasn't happened so far 🙄

Non alcohol to start with. Very good (as usual )from Mash Gang.

New brewery for me tonight. Brass castle, new England style IPA, 7.4%. Followed by one of my own. Still got head retention after 10 minutes of being poured from a clear bottle.

Polly's from M&S.

Have you bottled them all in the same bottles? I've had mixed results depending on what bottle I've opened. I've got clear and brown flip tops and the clear ones seemed more lively than the browns. I've also capped old brown bottles which have been fine. All stored in the same location, batch...

I'm weak and I've had a ***** day in work so cracked a home brew open. Had issues with this from the get go but it's drinkable. Some bottles pour absolutely fine and leave a decent head, although it doesn't last, some, once you pop them open decide they want to mix everything together (lot of...

I've got one of those, possibly for Sunday. Trying to be good in the week.

Inbev wanted mine back 😂 Had my refund so I'm just now debating on what to get instead. I'm not sure if the Brewzilla 3.1.1 is going to be it, I need to do a bit more research on what the upgrade to 4 is and if I will actually need it. The 3.1.1 is a fairly good price at the moment.

Home brew tonight. Originally poured like this. Added the hop juice and it finished like this.

Love a Track gold top.
