Guys
Please note that dry hopping does not add any bitterness to your beer. The bitterness is extracted during the boil. It will add flavour and aroma.
Well fair enough if you are happy with that, but just bear in mind that if it doesnt work it will be a big hole to fill with another valve at that bore.
How would you fit a hop filter to this with a 1 1/2" bore?. I would suggest that a 1/2" ball valve would be better suited and easier to control. If you get a brass valve from screwfix they are much cheaper than S/S ones.

Go all grain from the start.
I had never made beer of any kind before jumping in at the Dark End and have never made an un drinkable brew. With the help of the forum members and plenty of questions ( although from biscuits was a stormer) you can do it. My first brew from a forum recipe (...

That will not produce fizzy beer it will just create enough pressure to force the beer out and force oxygen out, you aren't using a sodastream which forces co2 into suspension in the beer.
I would transfer into the other keg and give it a blast of co2.
Sounds more like to me that in transferring to the secondary the disturbance has caused some CO2 to be released from the liquid, thereby looking like it has started fermenting again. This is quite normal, happens to me every time. You just have to try and disturb it as little as possible. Make...

Wife works in a chemist and has ordered me a bottle of Videne, going to my LHBS tonight to get a bottle tree and rinser. No more massive plastic tubs with a couple of quids worth of Milton in, wondering if they may break and sterilise the whole...

I too would use US-05
I would also tone down the IBU's for an american style amber ale to about 45 and use whats left for late & dry hopping. I made a similar one and it was the nicest beer i have ever made.
cheers
Andy.
Firstly I agree that in the current times that we are in to me the programme does not evoke art but wastage of time and food which would otherwise be put to good use.
Secondly as an avid watcher of foodie programmes I can thoroughly say Heston has never inspired me to cook anything, I have...
