Hi all, I am bottle conditioning some Wiessbeer at 10oc as it is in my garage - the FV was in there for the past two weeks until I got round to bottling, is this going to stop or slow the carb on these beers?

I purchased an AutoSiphon from the sponsor site GEB and am a little disappointed with the product - so am wondering if it is me using it wrong. I pop the AS in the green beer to put into my bottling bucket and give it a couple of pumps and it starts going - however shortly after it starts...

Hi all, So with xmas fast approaching my wife is asking what it is I would like for xmas and I can only really think of things for my setup - the problem is, I don't know what I actually want... My setup is pretty basic, I have a plastic Brupaks 29L boiler - a converted cool box mash tun some...

So I opened a bottle of my first brewed batch yesterday and wow! It literally EXPLODED out of the bottle, I think there was only 20% left in the bottle so I didn't taste to see if it was an infection, I will leave that to find out tonight as I seem to remember priming one individually and then...

When I first pour my beer it appears quite bright and crisp but after a minute or so, the beer seems to almost fade and go a murky colour- it is really strange and I have no idea why? Am I going crazy, or is this a phenomenon?

Just going to list out what I have leftover from some other brews to see if anyone has any ideas of what I could use it for... 150g Briess Pilsner 200g Pale Malt 200g 60L Crystal 500g Torrified Wheat 50g Cascade (Leaf) 25g Sazz 25g Magnum 25g Hallertau 75g Admiral (Leaf) I have learnt that...

Hi all, Just tried my first batch and I checked the FG (or what I think should be the FG as it has had 8 days since pitching) and it came in at 1.01 from 1.044. My first batch was a bit of a mess up, ending up with 10L in a recipe that should have yielded 23L, so I was expecting it to be a bit...

I have bought the ingredients for my Xmas stout which I am hoping to end up with 23L in my 30L FV. Do I need a blowoff hose for this? Or should I be ok? If I were to dabble in one, what is the dimension of the airlock for the tubing I would need? I am hoping my S - Lock will be fine.

Long shot, but if anyone has one for sale, am in the market for one.

Hi all, I am planning on brewing this on the 11th September for Christmas festivities, which for me and my friends starts around 10th December which coincidentally is a Saturday. Ingredients 12 lbs. (5.4 kg) Canadian Pils malt 1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) Munich malt 0.50 lb. (0.45 kg) Carahell® malt...

Hi all, Firstly, thanking everyone for all the advice to help me get my first two brews going. The first one was a bit of a disaster in that I ended up with just 10L in the fermenter. Still, as people have said it is a learning curve. I decided to get back on the horse today with my second...

Hi all, I have just got my first AG into the Primary and... I have about 10 litres. Boil SG OG all on point - but yea massive losses. I started with 23 litres total and have just realised that should have been my total boil size - so I know I have lost some there. On the boil I have an...

Mornign all, Doing my first brew this morning and just started my mash with 18L but it has around 4KG of malt, wheat and MO in it, the mash seems really dry pre sparge, is that normal?

Sorry to seemingly be taking over the forum with questions, but as I move towards my first brew, I am starting to mull over questions in my head. My garage is pretty well insulated but is definitely cooler. At this time of year, with the heat given off from fermentation is the garage the best...

Hi all, I am going into my first brew this weekend and have got my grain bill all ready and am ready to get going I think. I have a cooler which I can connect up to the water, but a friend of mine has said that he has no issues in leaving it to cool overnight to room temperature and pitch the...

Good evening all, After dipping my toe into brewing in university from kits, I recently, and to my wife's despair, have purchased myself a second hand full grain setup. I am going to be browsing the site to find myself a nice, hoppy, IPA. I really liked a west coast American IPA called Daisy...
