A Festival Weiss, that's a Coopers Amber Ale I'm finishing up with a chocolate marmalade stout to follow.

The Lyons Golden syrup is to bump up the ABV. My apologies about the tea bag, I used a mesh bag with the hop pellets in and put it into 4L of just boiled water but with no weight in it so it's like giant hop tea bag for an hour. Every time I passed the pan I squeezed it against the side like I...

1081, 1090, 1085. These are big boy beers, not for the faint hearted.

Welcome aboard Ben, what you got on at the moment?

I don't think it's a case where they can survive, it's a case of just how do you kill them, if their big brother ever turns up we're all in trouble.

As I brewed tonight just the one (school night), a Coopers Aber Ale, 6%, with an early EKG & First Gold hop tea. Instead of a dry hop I added a late Bramling Cross hop tea. Bottled 3rd May, shaping up nicely.

Sorry to go off topic but I hadn't thought about this for years. I loved this as a kid, it was our Saturday night visit to the Offie with pocket money in hand.

Maybe dismantle your bottling wand and see what's going on in there. I dismantle and rinse mine as soon as I've finished bottling. I know you boil it but it might be worth a look.

23L Wiko Cerveza, a 7.1% monster, 8417L

A late hop tea is an alternative to dry hopping, steep the hops in a mesh bag in just boiled water for 40 mins, I don't weigh the bag down, just treat it like a giant tea bag. Cover it and when cooled add to the FV, I've enjoyed all the beers where I've swapped a dry hop for a late hop tea.

I make them all breakfast and then banish them out of my kitchen, turn the radio on and then it's me time.

Sorry, the wrong end a few, a Coopers Amber Ale, 6%, with an early EKG and First Gold tea and a late Bramling Cross hop tea, bottled 03/05/18, really coming along.

Since the twins neither one of us wakes the other one at 3am.

In the article the differences in his OG seemed negligible, the shorter mash beer seemed to kick off the ferment better than the longer mash beer. The only difference seemed to be the better mouth feel on the longer mash beer and the shorter mash beer being thinner. However the blind tasting...

I've wondered before about (fior example), a 20 minute mash, a 15 minute boil to sterilise and hot break the wort. Hops done in a pressure cooker to extract the bitterness and then 5 minute and flame out hop additions als in the pressure cooker. The theory being that the pressure and 140c temp...

Welcome aboard novasys, let us know how your tropical IPA turns out.

Please understand this is a kit Brewer giving advice on AG brewing. By the time you get to pitching the yeast you may well appreciate a yeast like a Wilko Gervin (Nottingham) that you can just sprinkle on top, put the lid on the FV walk away and not have to think about for week or even two as...
