Thanks MagnusTS, I think it is hop pellets. I will probably cold crash and see how it looks before deciding on whether to use a hop sock. Cheers

Thanks a lot terrym. Just a quick question. Is it okay to put the FV in my garage for those couple of days, to cold crash, prior to bottling? I wondered if that would be too cold at this time of year? I have a couple of muslin socks I can use to put over the syphon tube. Cheers.

Hi, I am due to add hops to my Mangrove Jack's Juicy IPA in a few days time. The last time I added hops, I used a muslin bag to put them in. I was going to just add them loose this time, in order to get more hop flavour in to the beer, but wondered if my basic syphon tubing, with a sediment trap...

Thank you, I have thought about trying a hop tea. Cheers

Thanks GhostShip, I'm partial to Brewdog Punk IPA, so may give the Dead Phony a try. I've heard Mangrove Jack's is also a good brand, so will look into their beers too. Cheers

Thanks Portreath, that's useful to know. Hope it turns out well.

Please could I have any recommendations for good hoppy session ale to try next. I have recently brewed the Woodforde's Admiral Reserve, which is nice, but a little on the strong side when having a few! I thought about the Young's APA, but even that looks to be a bit strong. I see that Wilko have...

Thanks for the reply. I'll be taking mine to the garage in a few days, where it's cooler and will hopefully clear and condition nicely.

Hi Rob63, just wondered if you've sampled this one yet and if you have, what is your verdict. I bottled my 18 litre batch on Wednesday, so will wait a few weeks to sample (or maybe 2!) Cheers

Hi dwhite60, sorry for the late response to your question. Well, I bottled the beer and left it a coupe of weeks to try. It looked fine, not cloudy and appeared to be lively enough. However, I am just not happy with the taste. The only thing that possibly went wrong is that the dry hops I added...

Thanks Nicks90

Hello all, I have had my Bure Gold in the FV for 7 days now and have just taken a reading. I looks like 1.014 or perhaps a little lower. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of bubbling going on now. I was going to add the dry hops tomorrow and thought about leaving them in for a week or so...

Thanks Cossie. j I'm using Youngs cleaner/sanitiser which hopefully does the trick. I'll probably use tap water next time, as it tastes fine to me. Cheers

Thank you Terrym, much appreciated. That's a very useful guide. I must admit, my tap water tastes and smells absolutely fine. I just wanted to remove one of the things that might go wrong from the equation. I'll probably use tap water next time. Cheers

Morning all, I've had a break for a few years after a couple of brews which did not turn out too well. I lost confidence, but am determined to persevere this time and get it right. I am about to try Woodforde's Bure Gold and am going to use bottled water, as our water where I live in Essex is...

Yep, will do. Btw, mine was in the FV for 19 days before bottling.

I'm eagerly awaiting the bottle opening ceremony of my Golden Stag next week. It's had two weeks in the garage so far. When I bought it from my LHBS I was advised to only put half of the hop sachet in, which I did. The guy said that unless I liked my beer very hoppy, I should hold back on it...
