I think my loosely fitted lid may not have been that loosely fitted, that's the lid bulging!

After making a Maibock a few weeks back that had loads of malt in the tun this week's beer was the opposite. 2kg Pilsner Malt 1kg Wheat Malt 10g Hallertauer H. @ 15 minutes Mash started at 64C but due to the small size of the mash I had trouble maintaining temperature, over the 75 minute mash...

Due to insanity and having a load of Goldings hops I've made an all late hopped English IPA. 200g of Goldings all added in the last 20 minutes of the boil, plus another 45g dry hopped, in a 20l batch. It's turned out as a reasonably good tasting beer but refuses to clear. It's had gelatine...

It's been nearly a year since I brewed my partial mash flemish red(ish) brew and it's been sitting in the shed gently doing it's thing ever since. Today I bottled most of it but decided to go a bit more insane with some of it. I've put ~4l into a demijohn with 700g of frozen raspberries and...

The recipe for this brew is a pretty simple one, until the last minute of the boil. It starts as a fairly chocolate malt heavy stout. 3kg Pale Malt 500g Crystal 500g chocolate 100g torrified wheat 50g black malt Mixed by brewing assistant no.1 Mashed at 67C which I hit exactly, with...

I've lost track of my count of AG brews already, must be somewhere around 10 I think... Anyway, as a change from my regular hop testing APAs I though an american amber would be nice, so a Willamette based amber was Sundays brew. 4.00 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter 0.60 kg Crystal Malt 0.30 kg...

To keep my other half happy today was a brewday for an experimental non-alcoholic ginger drink. 1kg ginger, grated 1kg sugar 4tsp citric acid Boil for 1 hour in 5l of water, strain through muslin and squeeze out juice from ginger. Then make up to 19l and carbonate well.
