Thats what I thought and have always practiced, I was doubting myself for a moment

Certainley interesting stuff. All of my AG brews so far the hot break has coincided with the wort reaching boiling point virtually. I start my 60 min boil at this point. Didnt give it much thought until reading this thread :hmm: Should my 60 min boil start as soon as the pot goes on heat...

Im looking to brew a wheat beer, 50/50 pale malt to wheat. Undecided on hops etc but I know I want to turn it into a fruity wheat beer. Brew length tends to be 10litres, am I right in thinking that to impart the most flavour from the fruit would be to add to the secondary. Im struggling with...

Yea I was planning on dry hopping this one, probably 15g of each

Im looking to brew a pale ale with some Summer/Galaxy hops Ive got. Something along the line of the Marston's Pedigree New World if has anyone has had before. I only ever brew to the 10l mark, got my grain sorted using just Maris Otter to give me around 3.5% ish mark around 1800g I think, I...

Just had a sneaky sample of this, too impatient for my own good. Its had its 10 days in the warm to carbonate sufficiently which it has, planning on leaving for another 3/4 weeks. It already tastes brilliant. It's a bit thin I think, I always prefer my bitter with quite a lot of mouth feel. Any...

This is exactly how I explained it to my other half :clap: Seemed to work I got the go ahead to brew on the kitchen hob.

I agree the whole process was so easy and really clean which is what I was mainly surprised about. Actually felt like I was brewing beer rather then mixing beer.

After four kits I have now made the step up to all grain and living in a two bed flat have gone with the the BIAB method. Thought I would keep it simple to start with, a very simple low gravity pale ale/bitter. Working with Beersmith 2 went with a 60 min mash and a 60 min boil. 10l batch...

BIAB is going to be my next venture in homebrew. What size pot are you using and also where did you buy it from?

Ive got three Woodforde kits sitting around at the moment one each of the Wherry/Sundew/Admirals Reserve that I picked up for £13 from Dunelm as Im sure a few people took advantage of. Since buying these Ive got major hankerings to move up to extract/all grain and to be honest can't really be...

I batch primed this brew with 100g of sugar for the 20l. Although I want a bit of fizz, I do hate the uber amount of fizzyness in the marjority of commercial lagers.

Got myself one of the Youngs Brew Buddy kits back in september last year when Tesco had them on at £7.97, so finally got round to brewing the second can of lager that came with the kit (first one turned out pretty horrible). So as this brew is effectivley costing nothing (given the price of the...

Im actually brewing this one myself at the moment, its had 5 days in the FV I brewed it short to 20litres, 500g of Extra Light DME, a 453g tin of Golden Syrup and did a hop tea with 50g of Amarillo Hops. Ditched the packet yeast and pitched some Saflager S-23 yeast Smells fantastic

Ive used Amarillo hops and these came out very citrusy/orangey
