Thanks guys. That's the apples starting to fall here in Scotland. Gonna press and freeze till I've got a 19L yield of juice. So I'm clear: Defrost and mix full amount with 4-5 campden tabs Add yeast starter (going with Champagne) Leave to ferment Carbonate through desired route (force carb for...

Hey there, I'm planning on using a friend's apple tree to try a cider. For sanitization reasons, I'd naturally be inclined to boil (or perhaps pasteurize) the liquid before fermentation, to ensure everything is clean in my food grade tub. It also allows my to do some hop experiments alongside...

Seem to be in stock from BrewUK and GerErBrewed. Not sure what the hype is about as they've always been out of stock when I wanted to try them... So bought a few 100g packs to try. Fill yer boots!

Update for anyone interested... I washed this yeast and reused in a new NEIPA. Surprisingly it was a really low 1.007 FG. Resulted in quite a dry finish, which I wasn't expecting... No sign of infection, and no real reason I can think to why it would drop lower and lose the sweetness. Is anyone...

Based on that I guess keeping kegs at the lower temperature is a bit of a balancing act, as keeping it at crashed temps of just above freezing will eventually lead to it clearing up (happened to me!) versus keeping it "chilled" to prevent the hazy matter from discolouring as quickly.

So you think the idea of adding pectin didn't make any difference? Buying pectin powder was going to be my next adjunct to add to improve haze :smile6:

Great thread. I'm currently putting a closed system together which I'm hoping will improve things further. I recently brewed one with London Fog (link below) that came out really well. Only problem is, I chilled the keg twice (for a few hours each time), and the haze has dropped out!!?! Anyone...

As promised, here's my update on the yeast... It recommended a starter, which I created the night before. Began at 1.054 and settled at 1.011, added Ekuanot cryo hops for 3days DH then cold crashed and burst carbed. It said it should finish higher than a normal ale yeast to leave some residual...

Cheers, just spotted that. Looks like it's a decent punt for an NEIPA.... which is good, as I brewed with it last weekend. I'll report back on how it goes. 3.6 Kg M/O 0.6 Kg Wheat malt 0.2 Kg Carapils 0.5 Kg Oats 40g Fuggles 60mins 50g Simcoe 0min steep 50g Eukanot 0min steep London Fog WLP066...

Back in stock at Get 'er Brewed. Just stuck it in a NEIPA. Anyone else used it?

Hi, I was keen to see if cacao nibs could be reused once finished in your favourite chocloate brew (e.g. stout) recipe? Curious to see if they can be used either for another stout (cleaned, dried and steralised again)... or for some other use like cooking? e.g. added to flapjacks or whizzing up...

I've not had to refil yet, but it's the standard male thread connection that fits directly on to a normal regulator. Mine says to only fill it with the supplier, but I'm going to take it somewhere local as it's much cheaper. 😁

I had a similar issue when first using the soda stream cannister and adaptor. It seems fairly temperamental as if it's too loose, it leaks... If it's too tight (which you'd naturally do after it leaking) it seems to cut off the supply and choke the gas coming out. ... I eventually saved up and...

I recently brewed my first kettle sour, and gave it a good dry hopping to add a bit of character to it. I've still got most of it in a corny uncarbd as I was thinking to split the batch and attempt adding different purées to play about with the flavours. (Possibly make a mango one and...

So... I brewed this at the weekend. I played about with a few hibiscus tea combos.. and settled on 100g of tea.. and then added the flowers in towards the end of the boil as the colour was a bit more "brown" that I'd hoped. The hibiscus flavour was mild (as planned) and has a nice cranberry...
