What tube heater did you get? I got my fridge the other day but weighing up between tube heater/ heating mat/ heating band!

I haven't no so can't comment, I BIAB and sparge by dunking/ mixing into the water, I think its just to grab that last little bit of sugar from the bag, on some software there is a calculator for if you are under/over your target gravity but we have (somehow) always been pretty bang on. Good...

Seems like it could be a mix of the extra stuff you threw in with high sugars for the yeast to eat at and then the two packets of yeast used. My advice (which is what helped me massively) is to use software to track the brew (it’ll give you target OGs, FGs, ABV and sometimes how much water to...

Not sure about extract but with my BIAB brews I usually ferment over two weeks (this is longer than required) and then bottle condition with some dextrose and the beers are ready two weeks after that (so 4 weeks total) - so you should be fine!

Hey 👋🏻 I’m based in Glossop and head to Buxton (mainly for the tap room) fairly often! Good luck on your first recipe!

Due to calendar conflicts, me and my pals (a.k.a Dinky Brewing Co) only managed to do our first brew of 2023 today, we went with a NEIPA - went pretty well, tried a few new toys out (water pump for chiller, thick marigolds for the sparge) Hit OG and left the sucker to get eaten by some...

Nice! I genuinely have next to no idea what I’m doing when making my own recipes but it’s giving me better ideas as to what has gone well or hasn’t! I want to get a few more books on HOW to build a recipe so I can get better. This weekend we are brewing a NEIPA and then we want to iterate on...

Sounds good! I think we might just need to do our sparge for a little longer to ensure we are getting the last out of the grains, might try the dunking technique next brew

Hi all, I’m new to Homebrew and currently BIAB with 2 other friends in a 25L Kettle from The Malt Miller. I feel like we are getting our processes down for this equipment and will eventually look at getting a more sophisticated 1 vessel system (when we’ve saved enough) but the only area I’m...

Me and my friends started September 2022 after reading DIY Dog and thinking it couldn’t be that hard 😂 Have done 6 brews so far and planning more, we BIAB and have been making our own recipes up as we go (apart from our first one) Really enjoying it so far and can’t wait to get back to it!

Great write up! Have you got your next brew planned? If so what are you going for?

Thanks! We did a heavy dry hop (for us) on our last brew and didn’t get masses of oxidation, we are still in the “we like these beers so let’s try it” phase of home brewing so will take a look at the tips on there and see what we can do. Our set up is still very basic so may be something we...

Hi everyone 👋🏻 New brewer based out of Glossop/ Manchester. Myself and two friends decided around 6 months ago that we’d get into the hobby thinking it couldn’t be THAT hard… Well 6 months down, we have brewed 6 beers (all BIAB in a 25L Kettle). Have experimented with our own recipe creations...
