    Humble Bundle Brewing Books

    To mark Oktoberfest, Humble Bundle have a pack of pdf/kindle brewing related books available to buy at a very good price. I've just bought a coupke of them to help me solve some issues I'm having.. Seems a good, cheap way to build a library! Can't share the link as WiFi at the airport is...

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    It's def not bubblegum - more of a foam banana from the sweetshop flavour. I might just brew a foam banana sweetshop lager, and pretend it's deliberate..!

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    Every beer I buy seems fine, and my wife - who's a heathen when it comes to beer - tastes the same thing too!

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    I most certainly did, but it's a couple of years old now so may be due replacement...

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    The inkbird heats and cools, to try and maintain a stable temp in the fv. The temp it's set for is what is recommended by the yeast suppliers - but I suspect I may have strayed towards the top end of the ranges given on the packets..

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    Thanks all.. I'll check the temperature on the ispindel, check my inkbird isn't knackered, use a thermo well, and try fermenting my next brew 3-4 degrees cooler! Much appreciated..

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    The probe is taped to the outside of the fv, and covered in foam.. I'll consider adding a thermo well to the FV, once I've double checked the inkbird isn't goosed...

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    The ink bird is set to the various temperatures the yeast requires.. If its a temperature issue, I'll try the ink bird against a couple of thermometers - maybe rule out a fault! Thanks..

    Twang/Banana-ish aftertaste.. Help!

    Hey.. I've brewed a fair number of kits over the last five or so years, from Muntons, Bulldog and of course Wilko.. Without fail, every beer - regardless of style - I've made in the last 18 months has the same fruity twang, almost banana then a sweet aftertaste. I clean and sanitise...

    Stout taste with temperature

    I'm obviously a bit of a heathen, and enjoy stouts when they're chilled - sometimes as low as 3c.. I find it makes them less 'heavy' and easier to drink.

    What's in the Slow Cooker....

    I would if I could get away with it!

    Nukatap dripping/leaking

    Well, as an update... I stripped the tap down, fitted a closing spring and then fitted to my serve-a-beer-a-fridge, and have had no leaks since.. I suspect the issue may have been because it was attached direct to a disconnect on the keg somehow.. Thanks for the various answers and advice!

    What's in the Slow Cooker....

    Hey Druncan That's exactly the type of slow cooker I've been looking for! Have you any idea how much p&p would be to mainland Yorkshire at all, assuming it's not been snapped up by someone else.... Cheers MM

    Sorry for the late reply! I force carb around 30psi, then turn it down to around 12 for serving...
