    My (almost!) first AG brew day...

    Covfefe!

    Cold Crash ?

    Tin foil won't stop any oxygen getting in. I assume that "no problems" means that "whilst oxygen got in, it didn't cause any problems", which I think answers Wrh's point. I don't cold crash, but I expect that oxygen getting in will be a problem for high hop beers, and 'traditional' levels of...

    Electric chainsaws...

    That's been my reasoning for choosing to go with cordless 😆. But each person has their own preferences

    Cold Crash ?

    What does that do? Edit: Oh, only to prevent the airlock liquid getting sucked back in... not to prevent oxygen getting back in. Gotcha

    Electric chainsaws...

    Like a lot of things, it probably depends on your usage. If it's just a light amount of use or out away from power sockets (in the woods etc) then battery would be better. If you want to do a lot and would fear the batteries would'nt last and are close to a power source, then corded may be better.

    Electric chainsaws...

    chains are all fairly standard sizes. You can measure the size of the teeth with a set of calipers if you have them. I think it may even say it on the chain. I bought my file about a year ago and can't remember what I did, but I'm a complete novice and bought the right one so there must be...

    Cold Crash ?

    Whilst both the beer and airspace shrink as they cool down, I think that only has a marginal impact. what has a much bigger impact (from what I've read) is that the CO2 in the headspace is much more soluble in the cold beer and so more of the headspace dissolves back into the beer. The end...

    Should i just bin my hydrometer?

    You should start a petition to change what HMRC insist people use when commercially brewing beer.

    Cold Crash ?

    Yes, it can. If you attach a CO2 reservoir or a balloon filled with CO2 to your fermenter, it'll prevent air being sucked back in

    Fermentation Fail

    It's always the way!!!

    Fermentation Fail

    +1 to this. Also, has the airlock been topped up enough? I've done that one too

    Electric chainsaws...

    That's what I have. Works very well

    Electric chainsaws...

    Very possibly a blunt blade. I have a pruning saw, which is basically a mini chain saw. The chain needs sharpening every few uses (this is the same with big chain saws too). You can get a file on the internet for under a tenner, and there are some good tutorial videos out there

    iSpindel has gone quiet?

    My ispindel is in a brew at the moment. But there are two usb ports. The "other one" is the standard ESP2866 port, which I think should allow you to power the device, rather than charge the battery. If that's true, then you can probably pull the sled out, maybe remove the battery and plug the...

    Whamageddon

    I normally have radio 2 on in the morning as background - up until The Daily Mail letter Personified comes on at 12, then I switch to Spotify. I'm going to have to find something else for the mornings until Christmas is over (or I get whammed)

    Stuck fermentation when using two kits and two yeast sachets

    Hell no. It just finished at a higher gravity than intended. Nothing 'wrong' with it.

    Stuck fermentation when using two kits and two yeast sachets

    I've had a few stuck fermentations in the past. Some of those have been when the yeast took off like the clappers, generated a lot of heat, and then stalled when the temperature dropped. Here is the last one I did with S-04 that stalled at 1.020. One potential explanation is that by brewing in...

    Last Orders On 11 British Beers.

    I've never been keen on Banks. Jennings Cumberland is lovely. I can't I've had Mansfield (my dad used to drink it back in the 80s/90s). Boondoggle is a decent pint, sad to see that go (same for Thumper).

    Worth investing in a pump, or more important things?

    With a few fining additions, you get get "pretty clear" beer into the fermenter. This is what I get with a small protafloc addition a bit of whirlpooling and relying on the simple hop filter that you get with the grainfather which is designed to stop the pump clogging. No special filtering in...
