    Jack Fruit IPA ?

    Your wife is right, the stuff you get at restaurants as a meat alternative, or in tins from the supermarket, is green jackfruit. It's nice, but the fruitiness is very subtle and would get lost behind the vegetable taste (I don't know if you've had som tum, the Thai salad made from green papaya...

    Reiterated mash...anyone done it?

    Yup, a lot of yeast, but if you want a 12% stout bottled, carbed and ready to drink in 2 weeks, it's the way to go.

    Reiterated mash...anyone done it?

    I did one of these last March, and it was great. For the first mash I did an overnight mash, which helped get a bit more efficiency, as well as dry out the first part a bit so the end beer wasn't too sweet without resorting to dextrose. I had 4kg pale in each batch, plus some cararye, dark...

    False bottom grainfather

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001704355150.html I ordered this one on AliExpress, as I was buying some others bits anyway. Don't know if it's any good, but at that price I can't complain.

    Good quality malt mill? - How much we need to spend to not get ripped off by poor quality products?

    Sounds like a manufacturing error. I've got the same one and it's been going strong for years. Contact Hambleton Bard. In my experience their customer service is pretty good.

    How stupid can you get?

    Very very few, but converting people isn't the point. The point is to build camaraderie and foster an us-vs-the-world good-vs-evil narrative. To alienate from the outside world so that they become more dependent on the sect.

    Accidentally froze my Wyeast - is it f**cked?

    Do a starter it'll be fine.

    Been Offered a Grainfather and other gubbins....

    Bargain, and good kit, but you're looking at 5 hours per brew. If you do it your beer is going to be so much better than kit beer.

    IainM's brew days

    It's a blend of two strains that were classified as Brett, because they formed a pellicle I think, but were reclassified as saccharomyces. The are apparently fruity and tropical. It also has a classic brettanomyces bruxellensis. The smell when I opened the liquid pack was fantastic, just what I...

    Has anybody already started to have problems with CO2 supply or price hikes

    I managed to pick up a 6.35kg bottle as a new Adams gas customer in Stains yesterday. £29 plus deposit. Seems that some places are accepting new customers.

    Pitching directly onto the last brew’s yeast trub

    Snap. A few times I've done a mild or something that doesn't stress the yeast, pitched at a high rate onto well oxygenated wort, then just dump a RIS or barleywine on the yeast cake. It's basically a massive starter. Can get a very clean 11% beast fermented in 2 days with this method.

    IainM's brew days

    Since the last post I've brewed a Polly's Falter clone (thread), which was fantastic and I've bought the ingredients for a re-brew. I've also moved house to a place with a garage. It's so much nicer to have the space to store everything properly on shelving. Last week I put a session NEIPA on...

    Spectrum Liquid hops

    Excellent, I look forward to hearing how the beer turns out. The thought of stirring into water first seems like a sure way to get oxygen into them.
