Hello, I am planning to do my first ever 50 litre brew in a few weeks time. I am really looking forward to the the brew but I have got a little bit stuck on what to do with the yeast. I am planning to use Wyeast, most likely American Ale 1056. I have banged the details into Mr Malty and it is...

Cheers guys

Hi All, Does anybody know a good place to buy a cheapish regulator for a Corny? I have just purchased my first keg, a used 19L one, and now I need to get all the other bits together. I have been informed that buying a welding regulator from ebay is a good option but there seems to be loads...

Hi, could you PM me some details and prices? Thanks

Hi Jonnie, I am interested in buying 2 if you still have some? Where are you based?

When and where are you thinking of doing the course? I'm aiming for London in September.

Surely the 2 kettle method can't be used for boiling the wort though?

Does the buffalo have problems maintain a rolling boil?

Excellent! Can you think of any reason it wouldn't work for AG brews?

Amazing!! How much sweetener did you use to sweeten it up and what type? I am going to knock some up this weekend.

How did this Hooch turn out? It sounds awesome.

I mash at 66-68C for one hour. Then sparge with 78C water for about 30 mins. I then run off into my boil kettle, before sparging again with another 10 litres of 78C water for about 15-20 mins. Does that sound okay? I am not overly fussed about missing the OG but would be great to know why.

Is beer smith usually pretty accurate? It seems like a missed by a long way. Cleary I need to tune my process up.

As a sub question. The beer smith app said the OG should have been 0.055. I only managed 0.045. Any idea why this may have happened?

Thanks Philld. Went ahead with the recipe as it was and it has been happily bubbling away in my newly build fermentation chamber, which I made out of an old fridge this weekend. I will let you know how it turns out. Tempted to dry hop with a spare 25g of centennial & 25g of citra but worried...
