17L Citra Pale Ale 5L Festive Turbo Cider Total 8937 Litres

Ended up with 17L after a slight adjustment to reduce the gravity a touch. Maybe I'll need a bigger urn. Oh, and I went to stick the airlock in and the bloody grommet decided to take a plunge to the bottom of the barrel 🤣

Thanks @Tanglefoot , really useful! So, the thing is finally in the FV and I will very much enjoy not seeing it for a few days. I used to the tap on the turn to decant the wort into the FV, but ended up losing some wort at the end to the hoppy mess at the bottom of the boiler. Argh. The...

Such a helpful chart, I will try those adjustments next time, thank you. There was some fun in there somewhere!

I would say this is my first brew day but we're currently on Day 3 of the brew day, so that's how that is going. Last week I got an urn for free so I purchased the second B from BIAB and the Brew Day 23L Citra Pale Ale AG kit. Day 1: Sunday evening My first error (of many) was thinking my urn...

I know this needs plenty more time in the bottle in the cold before I jump to conclusions but I don't feel this one was worth the effort. Darker than desired, butterscotch flavour suggests diacetyl. There's no harm in keeping it in the fridge for a couple of months and seeing how the flavour...

23L Muntons Continental Pilsner Total 6,326 L

Hello and welcome!

Hello brewers :-) I have a Muntons Gold Continental Pilsner kit to get started next week. I am hoping to give it the best possible chance of turning out light, crisp and lager-y and would appreciate any and all advice as I am still a bit of a novice. I am in no hurry, I am hoping to drink it...

Well this is a mess 🤣 how about we rewind to this point: Plus @Foggie 's 18L winter ale = 5608 L Plus @Rodcx500z 's 23L bitter = 5631 L Plus @Beermonster66 's 23L west coast IPA = 5654 L Now minus 69L of @GuyG 's due to being added twice ([edit] see posts around 22nd & 29th July) = 5585 L And...

I also have a batch that was 3L Apple Juice + 1.5L Tropical Juice, only thing is that I bottled it in 2L bottles so I'm gonna need help drinking that one... encouraging to hear that it was nice 👍

I live in a constant state of optimism 😅

I brewed just 4.5L of this and am stunned how good it turned out. I fermented Lidl Apple Juice with EC-1118 Champagne yeast plus tea made with apple juice and several teabags, no other ingredients. No temperature control on the fermentation as the fridge was already occupied so this was just at...

Welcome, Ross :) Happy brewing 🍻
