Evening all, I have just finished a second SMASH brew using the same ingredients as the first: Dingemans Pale Ale 9MD Malt Polaris T90 Hop Pellets Mangrove Jacks M36 Liberty Bell Ale Yeast Water from Morrisons. So far both brews have been good, I’m using a Brewzilla 3.1.1 and have aimed for an...

Morning all, I have just purchased an S30 cylinder, it has plenty of gas. I am using a corney keg with a brass screw thread that I have always just screwed the bottle on to. The last time I used it was around 2014. When I screwed the new bottle on to my older connector, which was fine, no gas...

Ah so that’s what Strike Temperature is. The temperature that you get the water to before you put the Grain in. And I presume this will account for what temperature you need to start mashing?

I kept my lid on for first 45 mins of boil but left it off through the initial mash. More by luck than judgement I think Agreed, it’s something I need to research more to get my head around it. For this brew I used supermarket bottled water

And yes I recirculated all through the Mash

Hi, I am just beginning my foray into All Grain Brewing having done several brews with extract. I have just purchased a Brewzilla 3.1.1 and am looking for the best places to find recipes and brew guides. I have watched several You Tube “brew day“ videos and now need somewhere to find recipes to...

thanks both

Hi, After a long lay off of making any home brew, I would like to start up with winemaking again. Where are the best places on-line to buy decent kit that will last a while. As I move into retirement, I want the stuff to be the best I can afford while I still have money. Thanks in advance

Hi, I am new to home brewing and have just barrelled my second "attempt" at brewing beer. I'm brewing from a kit. My question is: when I move my barrel from its warm place to its cool place I seem to loose all pressure in the barrel. There seems to be plenty when it's warm but a couple of days...
