As the title sort of says I had a little extra left over in the boiler after filling the fermentor to about 5 gallons, so I thought might as well try something. I had a glass demijon hanging around so I just pour the rest of the wort into that and threw in half a packet of M84 yeast. The brew is...

Hello All, So after getting fed up with bottling I've ordered two Cornelius kegs from MM. I am picking up CO2 today. Now I have a brew fridge which was given to me and that should fit in a keg however I'd rather have a dedicated Kegerator so I can keep brewing in the brew fridge. Has anyone...

Where are you getting your supplies from? I don't have a local shop and I'm getting fed up of paying 6 or 7 pounds for shipping for a 9 quid all grain kit. Anyone got any ideas, online or near MK or is it just order in bulk? Cheers

Hello All, I did set up my brew fridge using an inkbird controller and a tube heater (40w). It worked great for one brew then the heater packed up :-(. I'd like to try another option than buying a new tube heater. I have a spare new fish tank heater, is it possible to place the fish tank...

Hello All, I hope this is the right spot to put this. I have a bitter that has been in the barrel for about 4 weeks and is very clear. The barrel is under pressure too, it is a plastic barrel. I need to free it up and there is too much to drink in a couple of nights :nono: Can I release the...

Hello All, I brewed an all grain Kolsh and pitched yeast about 24 hours ago. I used a liquid yeast in a smack pack. This pack has been in my fridge for about three months, I smacked it and did not notice the normal swelling of the pack after about 4 hours. I pitched anyway and today can see...

Hello All, I'm about an hour away from pitching yeast, I'm doing a small batch of rice larger (about one gallon). I have yeast in a packet for five gallon, so I just add 20% of this yeast packet to the fermentor or throw it all in? Thanks!

Hello All, I put two AG brews down about 4 weeks ago. A tribute clone and a Landlord clone. Both tasted great at bottle/barreling time. I did not use finings in the Tribute. The tribute is in a pastic barrel and tastes better than anything I've done before, however it is cloudy really cloudy...

Hello All, Just put down a Kolsh, I'm using a Wyeast Kolsh liquid starter. I smacked the pack 3 hours plus in advance and the pack swelled up as expected. I pitched a little warm (maybe 24c). After about 6 hours I see no activity at all, with dry yeast I would normally see something on the top...

Hello Again, A couple of questions I'm sure you can answer for me, I'm doing all grain brewing and some of the recipes call for hops at switch off, is this the same as dry hoping? I have been throwing them in as I shut off the boiler and then removing once the wort is cool. Second question I...

Hello All, I've started brewing again after about a 15 year break, I used to do kits and never really made anything as good as I got down the pub. So this time I've started all grain and I'm on my third batch. I did a Stout which I used too much water on and turned out a bit weak (bodyless) but...
