We have to take into account that our taste buds degrade with age, like the rest of our bodies.

Hi all, Due to time constraints I have not managed to brew for a couple of years. Therefore I am planning to have a go at extract brewing. Which I can comfortably carry out in an evening. I will use dme and will steep grains and boil hops on the stove top with a stock pot. I pressure ferment and...

Has anybody brewed the same lager recipe but with one using hard water with acid addition and the other using RO water. I wondered if there was much difference with the finished product?

Only used it once, FG was too high so I used another yeast to finish it. Would probably go back to Liberty Bell for my next bitter.

You could just use a party tap on your third keg.

I like this idea of filling the keg with tap water and some sodium metabisulfite or a couple of crushed campden tablets, to remove oxygen from the keg.

I have one like this, but not the easy access model. It still has the condenser bulge over to one side. I could get three slimmer kegs in there.

I wondered if the taller larder type fridges will take four standard size corny kegs? Thanks

The best you can get in regards to under counter fridges are Bosch Logixx. You can comfortably fit 2 x shorter fatter style corny kegs in with room to spare. One ebay now for £18

I have a couple of out of date packs of Cross My Loof, real ale and pale yeast in the fridge. I won't be using them for anything else, so will be good for this. On paper they both have better attenuation than Lalbrew London. Doubt I'll use this yeast again, I don't like beer too sweet and have...

Do you think dry yeast will take to alcohol in beer?

Hi I made a bitter a few weeks ago with LalBrew London, FG has come out a bit high for my taste at 1.019. I wondered if anybody has added a different yeast to the secondary and had success. I am wondering whether I need to make a starter first? Due to issues I may have with the yeast not...
