Hi all, does anyone know if you can buy something that measures alcohol content in beer (ABV ideally)? i.e. not the gravity, but the alcohol? ta!

just brewed up my second 'single malt and single hop', using NZ Pacifica. Oddly, using the same grain bill, and the same mash, as SMaSH#1, the OG of this one is much higher. Must have had a bit of a poorly mashed grist last time or something :-? Grain Bill: 5kg maris otter Mash 66degrees...

I thought I'd start experimenting with a few SMaSH [single malt and single hop] brews, to examine the differences between hops. I plan to stick to 100g of each hop; I realise I could adjust & get the same IBU, but I'm interested in what the same weight of hops gives us. This is the first, most...

Brewed this yesterday, using a recipe from Hughes, which I tweaked slightly: Mash (1.5 hours at 65 C): Bohemian Pilsner Malt, 4kg CaraBelge Malt, 500g Sparge 7 litres Boil (1hr 10m) Start 45g Saaz (3%) 1 hour - 20g Saaz (3%) + 3g Irish moss Wyeast Trappist High Gravity (Liquid) OG a bit...

hi all, does anyone have any experience of brewing collectives? How they are run? (especially in relation to equipment, etc?) cheers

hi all, I thought I'd give a smoked porter a go. Here's the recipe I'm using: Mash (26 litres liquor; mash for 1 hour @ 65 degrees C): Pale malt - 4.5kg Rauchmalz Bavarian Smoked Malt - 700g Black malt - 300g Crystal malt - 200g Munich malt - 200g Boil (26 litres liquor; boil time 1hr) Hops...

hi all, I am fairly new to AG brewing, and I notice that some recipes call for an addition of hops 'at turn off'. Now, obviously this means at the end of the boil, but what do I add them to? The boil kettle? (Which would mean they are in the wort for a minute at most, before I drain into...

I thought this was pretty cool: http://hopschart.com/zoom.html

hi all, I just posted to the 'Introduce yourself' threads and BruinTuns said that only a few people have posted before about growing hops. So, some of you might be interested: Today I planted out 4 hop plants, 2x nugget & 2x Prima Donna, that I bought from these guys...

hi all, just found this forum & I am really looking forward to learning from you all. I have been brewing since April '14. I started brewing from kit (x2) then extract (maybe 6 brews?) and then bought a boiler & have gone all grain. I am currently considering going up another level &...
