If I have understood the question, I can't answer it, but my friend doesn't have any beer brewing equipment which is why we're doing it round mine. I did have another idea, which is to do kind of a partial mash, and add DME or LME to bring the SG up...

I am aiming for about 8.5%. My plan is to keg it and bottle half from the keg to save for next Christmas then drink the rest whenever I feel like it over the next few months. My friend will be bottling the lot. I love mead, I like barley wines etc, so I can't see myself not liking it really...

Hi all, I brew on a 35L Robobrew. Got a mate who likes mead but never brewed beer, he's coming round in a couple of weeks with a load of honey to brew a braggot (mead/beer cross, if you don't know), and i am providing the grain, hops and brewing equipment etc. We want to end up with around...

I use a stainless steel hop tube, no need to add anything because it just sinks on its own!

Complacency is the enemy of progress.

I was inspired to try savoury baked oats and they were really good! We made pizzas at the weekend so I had loads of ingredients left over, so this is pizza inspired baked oats. I did mozzarella, pepperoni, tomato, black olives, oregano. 40g of oats, grated a courgette in and added an egg...

I went through a phase of making savoury porridge a while back. The one I made has middle eastern vibes. You make the porridge with chicken stock and add in za'atar and chilli powder or shatta (chilli paste), then once cooked stir in a good handful of parsley and juice of half a lemon. Then...

Agree on Kveik yeast. Had some good results with Ubbe and Voss fermenting in the 30s bonus is they are done in days.

Not been brewing much recently at all but my home grown hops were turning brown so I thought I would do a super quick brew to save what I could (although it's turned into a bigger project). I bought a Coopers lager kit, was thinking that's quite a cheap way to get a fairly neutral base beer...

Did my first brew in ages recently, using my home grown hops. There's a tap in the lid of my fermenter, basically using it to plug a hole in the fermenter that I used to put my temp probe in. Well I've just gone to transfer the batch and realised the tap has been open for the past 3 weeks...

Anyone tried making it? I've vacuum sealed about 12 big organic garlic bulbs, put a few layers of foil on the bottom of my old slow cooker (which doesn't have a keep warm setting, just low or high), then plugged an inkbird in and set it to 60c. I also put a closed jar of cooking oil in the...

I've had musty old books/mushroom kind of flavour once which wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't worry about fermenting smells though they will likely fade as the yeast clean up.

Sainsbury's has an open source mandate on all beers. "Secrets are just lies you haven't told yet" - Gary Sainsbows That, or its listed on the ingredients on the can 🤣

https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/beavertown-neck-oil-4x330ml Yeah it's actually listed in the ingredients as US05

I have a late start on a Thursday so have started drinking a few beers on a Wednesday night. I was thinking of brewing something around 3-4% but with an SG of something like 1.030. I can drink twice as much for the same calories 😂

I've signed up to this! It's only across the water from me.

Ok, overnight mash it is. I do still have my eye on it to make a "diet beer" for midweek drinking though 😂 Out of interest what did you use it for @An Ankoù

Fair enough, but I wouldn't really call it a "stupid fad chemical addition" any more than using a powdered single yeast strain. It's all microbiology. It's an fungal enzyme, and is by no means new, it's been used for many years for many applications, including in a number of commercial beers...

https://beerandwinejournal.com/can-co2-form-a-blanket/ "Co2 blanket" is a myth. But anecdotally I haven't noticed any issues with oxidation either but I just worry because if it does happen with a lager that's 2-4 months down the pan.
