    What did you brew today?

    After a night of breakimg down my hops just finished my fastest brewday, batch of Gamma Ray clone, start to finish 4 hours! All went smoothly, a couple points of my FG but I can live with that!

    Welcome Ken! Wheat beers tend to yield an awesome headache for me! Although partial to a grapefruit wheat beer!

    Secret Santa Reviews 2023

    Had my one this evening, Santa's Citra Pale Ale. Nice hiss on opening, plenty carbonation, definitely bottle conditioned. Nice, bright amber, very slight haze but something I'd definitely be pleased with. Fresh citrus on the nose. Not too bitter finishing slightly sweet. Ever so slight maltyness...

    Bit of an update for those with Plaato products and feeling a little downbeat. There may be hope yet👍🏻 Homebrewing

    Dry hopping w Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter

    Through process of elimination it can only be one of two things from what you've said. Either the back connector or the post is blocked. Have you got any spare connectors to trial? Note the grey connectors will only fit the gas post, and the black the liquid posts, they're not cross compatible...

    Dry hopping w Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter

    I probably wouldn't worry about it, unless we're talking a huge amount of hops that could bung up a keg post, although that has never personally happened to me. I do have a Bouncer Mac Daddy large in-line. Bit pricey but does the job really well. Not part of my usual kegging process but got me...

    Dry hopping w Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter

    So you'll need to make sure you're adding CO2 through the top or it'll create a vacuum. Also, the pipework can get blocked if you've done some big dry hopping. Try attaching a gasline to the push fitting at the bottom, where your line to the keg would normally go. Put maybe 5psi and feather the...

    Wasted Hops Target

    I've used Brewday for buying T90 hops, have bought a few by the 1kg and break down, vac pack and store in the freezer. Never had problems. Definitely the way to buy hops, my average spend is £3.82 100g. That includes a good mix from Galaxy and Mosaic to Strata and Azacca👍🏻

    Plaato to be discontinued

    Really poor on their front. Don't mind if they're wanting to focus on "Pro" product line but not at the cost of your customer base which contributed so much to their initial growth. Should make the software open source. Its something as a society we seem to have become accepting off, true...

    Dry hopping w Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter

    No worries, assuming your transferring into corny kegs, I've found this kit perfect! (https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/grainfather-conical-fermenter-pressure-transfer-and-blow-off-system/?v=79cba1185463) Does the job very well, never had any problems with it and it's cheaper than the OEM...

    Dry hopping w Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter

    The grainfather fermenter has a 1.5" triclamp. Although you're right, I've used the hop bong for some time and never had issues with oxidation...although it can be a bit of a pain sometimes getting the hops to drop through, a bit of a shake and wiggle usually does the trick. They're out of stock...
