I have the hideous contraption from kegland. It works fine for me.

My brew days last the whole day by design. It's the one chance I get for me time.

My regular brews are :- -bitter based on Harvey's West Sussex best -bohemian pilsner -cascadian dark ale -pale ale I have a rye pale ale and a golden ale that I need to tweak the recipes on before they become regular house beers

I just chuck the hops straight into the kettle during the boil or straight into the FV if dry hopping.

Just back from Slovenia. This hoppy red ale went down a treat.

Yes. I used this method to make a Schwarzbier. I didn't follow it exactly. I am on holiday at the moment and don't have my notes in front of me, but if I recall correctly, I raised the temperature a couple of degrees at >50, >75, >90, >95% attenuation. At the end of the fermentation, temperature...

I hadn't heard of Braukaiser before and just looked it up. Wish I had known about it before I did my Schwarzbier. I did a single infusion mash also.

I think I went too heavy on the Pilsner and will up the Munich a bit next time.

Schwarzbier. First time I have tried to brew one. 72% Pilsner 16% Munich II 5% Caramunich 5% Carafa Special II 2% Melanoiden OG 1.050 Hopped with Hallertauer Mittelfreuh Fermented with Saflager S-189

I normally lager my Pilsner for 4-6 weeks. However, I am just in the process of making a Schwarzbier using a fast lager method in BYO/Brulosophy https://byo.com/article/fast-lagers/ https://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/ It's carbing up now and should be good to drink next week. Four...

The main reason I moved from buying crushed grain is that I suffered a lot of stuck mashes on my system that I eventually traced to grain crush size. By crushing my own grain I have eliminated them. I suppose as well that by crushing grain on a brew day, your grain is fresher - although I...

I use pellets and just chuck em in the kettle or FV as necessary. I stopped using cones a few years back now.

I love my GF grain mill. Yes the hopper is small, but I have never found that to be an issue. It holds about 1 Kg grain which is fine for me. My grain bills are generally 4-6 Kg.

Sorry. I have run out of time to get this into a can and into the post.

Taste it - if it tastes alright then brew with it. If it doesn't then bin it

Going to try to rapidly carb it and send it out.

I don't think I am going to be able send mine. Some ***** didn't put the gas on to the Corny to carb it 🤦‍♂️🙄

Another vote for Mastering Homebrew by Randy Mosher. One of the best books around. Super easy to read and follow.

I should have a cascadian dark ale that I could submit. It's carbing up now

Yep. I use the drain hole to run the Inkbird temperature probe and the power to a tube heater into my fermentation fridge. No mods needed at all.
