When the first lot is done, would i just put that in the fermentor and let it cool down and when the 2nd lot us done add it to the fermentor and blast it with my wort chiller?

Hi all. Quick one. I am supposed to be doing a 20l all grain today, just realised my boil pot doesnt work on induction hobs and have no other way of heating the water. I have a 13l boil pot. Can i do 2 lots of 10l and add it all to one fermentor? Or is this not ideal. Dont really mind about the...

Hi all. Where do you buy your grain from (online)? Not bought grain for a while. Cheers

Would you suggest waiting until fermentation is complete before removing fruit?

Hi all. Ive had a TC with frozen fruit in a DJ since sunday. Listening to advice from a previous post, i am planning on siphoning the TC into another DJ tomorrow, to get rid of the fruit. My only reservation is that the TC is still quite airlock active. Am i ok to siphon without disrupting the...

I wondering if the alcohol produced will help protect it, but im no where near 13%. Ill take out between the days you suggest. Cheers

Hi all. Got my first ever TC in DJs. I have frozen fruit in there (raspberries and blackberries) will the fruit last the whole time of fermentation or will they need fishing out before they go bad? Thanks

Ok sound. Thanks for the comments

Aye, just a bit. Guess thats not much to worry about? Temp is between 20-22c. When you say leave it another day or so? What am i looking for after the day or so? Cheers for the reply

Apologies if the post is vague. In work and rushed it. Any and all questions welcome

Hi all. Had a choc stout kit in the FV since monday afternoon. Upto now ive had absolutely no airlock activity. Had a look under the lid and something doesnt seem quite right. Not much Krausen at all. During the 'brew' i accidentally put the FV lid on the induction hob for a sec and burn a...

How much yeast would you use for 5l?

Hi. I have naff all to do today, so i have decided i want to make a TC. As its on a whim, i dont have cider or champagne yeast. Will wilkos wine or ale yeast be suitable? Thanks in advance

Airlock activity stopped overnight. Checked gravity this afternoon. Seemed to be 1.010. Ill check again on sunday see if i get the same reading. If so, I'll cold crash for a couple of days

I was thinking about getting bits ready the night before, makes a lot of sense. What setting do you put your oven on? Although, i managed to keep a good temp with a towel and thick coat. What do you weigh your hops bags with? I bought a couple of bags of marbles for this. Will they do? Cheers

Im going to check gravity fri-sun then see where we are. Ill deffo look into the conical fermentor, sounds like it will make life much easier. Cheers for the feedback

Day 10. Still a lot of airlock activity. Approximately every 40-60 secs. I was planning on cold crashing for 2 days then bottle on Sunday. Sunday will be 14 days in fv. If airlock activity is still going on Friday, shall i just leave where it is? Or shall i start taking gravity readings?

Day 6 in the FVs. Airlock activity every 20-30 seconds. Temperature has been between 18-20c the whole time. All seems to be going well, for now.

Yeah im happy with how it all went. I know I'll get the time down, so im calm about it.

So after a days reflection and looking over my notes, I thought i would list a few issues that popped up and what to change for my next brew. 1. I added all 2.3kg of grains to the water in one go. It took me longer than expected to stir out all the lumps. Will add gradually next time. 2...
