Depends when the Styrian and EKG are added. I find them quite different and also both different to fuggles. If I recall the GH blonde calls for Styrian as late hop 10m and 0m additions? In that case, probably best subbing in EKG for late additions rather than fuggles.

A couple of dark ones that I will be brewing again. London Porter, based on a few of similar recipes from BYO.com and others, supposed to be similar to Fuller's. This was very good. Though I would use a better yeast next time. Cushyno Brewdays etc.. One roughly based on Greg Hughes Oatmeal...

This 2x pack of bags is all I've ever used https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079Q2LQND So 100 micron seems about right.

Of course. When I mentioned stirring I was considering my method after lifting and draining the bag. I suggest that if you don't have wort recirculation don't try to maintain mash temperature using the element, rather wrap the Peco in blankets to maintain temperature. After lifting and draining...

This may not be what you want to hear after 4 brews, but it has to be said that BIAB is a way of cutting corners. Single vessel, less time, less hassle, goes the theory... Inevitably it's a compromise. You will learn where cutting corners works for you and where it doesn't. Just look at some of...

Hi Curtis, my first post in months. I've been where you're at with the Peco. Find a way to regulate input voltage to the element or keep the wort moving as you bring it up to boiling. Preferably both! See this post and the related post I linked to: Beer tastes like ashtray?

My Dad nailed his colours to the Hyundai mast about 4 years ago, having changed allegiance from Land Rover to Nissan to Hyundai. He said at the time it makes no sense to buy anything other than Hyundai because of the "all-electric" and warranty. Last week he replaced his Santa-Fe with an Audi. 🤣

@samale Geez! You wouldn't have any need to search further than this for your Belgian beer comp. If only I'd sent you a bottle. Ha ha, your loss! 😉 My treat for having to go back to work tomorrow, a Belgian blonde. I disturbed the sediment, but who cares? This will finish me off quite nicely...

Done. Summer holiday been and done. Survived storm Evert. Survived visiting In-laws on the way home. Survived Welsh and English roads. Caravan unpacked, bikes, canoe, body boards and a fortnight worth of washing unloaded. Time to check on contents of the keezer... This was an APA from earlier...

These are pretty good value and work well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151387923990

Recirculating after mash is complete would have some similar effect to sparging. Up to a point, any densely concentrated sugars in the grain bed will become more equally mixed into the wort as it is recirculated. This should help with sugar extraction and should be worth doing before sparging...

Welcome to this new challenge, I hope you enjoy your brewing journey...

Yes, with repitching kveik it is beneficial to use nutrient.

I don't know about the Wilco nutrient.

Oops! Ignore me. My advice is for using slurry as your nutrient!

10 minutes from the end of the boil. Not sure how much to add, though I'd have thought about a tablespoon of you have that much available.

Yep. Challenger and First gold work well together. While I doff my cap to Mr H on recommending fuggles, there are other options available. I did a "Lakeland Ale" with challenger and First Gold in 2020 that was very well received by all who tried it (including some old farts that are quite...

Looks superb!

There's a heck of a lot of work gone into that bar. Hats off to you for persistence. The colour and finish is great, you should be pleased with the result. Get your taps on, get a few mates around and enjoy it!
