Hey all, I have a pin lock cornie and I've got some beer carbing in it. Unfortunately, there is a Scottish Craft Brewers Meeting in two days and I can't get me beer OUT of the keg! I've ordered a party tap with the QD, but I am not sure if it will get here in time (earliest delivery date is the...

I styled this recipe off of Dunfie's Californication. There are a couple changes/substitutions as no one seems to have hops in stock :cry: Recipe: hAPAy birthday Style: American Pale Ale TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 32.23 l Post Boil Volume...

Right, so I brewed a Pumpkin Ale yesterday. I hit the expected pre-boil gravity was 1047, I hit 1044 (Corrected for temp using the forum calculator. Was 1030 @ 58C. My hydro is calibrated for 20C). Not a huge difference so I wasn't too worried. The post-boil OG was meant to be 1057 and somehow...

Hey guys, I've recently entered a contest at my old college (Ursinus in Pennsylvania, USA) to win an ipad2. All I need to do is get people to like a facebook page that they have created and then my picture which is posted on that page. Being a UK site, I figured my picture of nessie would do...

Looking to make a TINY (5L) bit of Imperial Stout coming up soon. I've been reading about the Effin' Imperial and also looking at other recipes. I then sat down with Beersmith2 and came up with the following: Style: Imperial Stout TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications...

Well, I finally finished it! Got my fridge delivered yesterday and after a bunch of dremel work, it's finally together! Looks like the pic didn't upload perfectly, but it's way too late to fix it right now. I followed the howto that I found on this forum from Franklin for the most part, so...

I haven't thought up a name for this baby yet, but I'm planning out my second bash at AG. This time, I'll be doing it with a boiler and MT rather than BIAB. I was looking through the recipes on this site for a decent one, and I found this one using the WLP300, which is the yeast I have, so I...

So, I finally got my chutney barrel boiler made. Used two tesco value kettles, but they happen to be different from the tutorial that BigYin made. Got 30 litres of water from 40c to rolling boil in 35 minutes. Switched off one element and held the rolling boil for 10 minutes with NO LEAKS...

Picking up a freezer tonight from freecycle. Got my STC-1000 ordered. Just need to get down to Maplin and get the two sockets and the project box to house the controller. Eventually, I will need to get a tube heater as well, but I don't think I will need it right away considering the freezer...

I seem to recall a tutorial about how to do yeast splits, but I have been searching around here (using search along with just blundering about randomly) and I can't find it :( I am looking into purchasing some of the WLP810 San Francisco Lager yeast in order to make a California Common style...

As I'm only in the UK temporarily as a student, I don't really have many tools available to me. Just wondering if anyone in the Edinburgh area would be willing to lend me a hand (and tools!) making my mashtun and boiler. I've finally received my chutney jars to make the boiler and HLT, so now I...

The full title is Principles of Brewing Science: A Study of Serious Brewing by george J. Fix, PhD. Anyone heard of this book? Been thinking I might pick it up, but I'd rather hear a positive review before shelling out £17 for a paperback book. :wha:

Ok, so I started a brew a couple of days ago, figured I would be able to get it done before going over to the states on holiday and it could go into secondary while I'm gone. Unfortunately, it is fermenting slower than expected. It started at 1041 with an expected OG of 1009. It is at 1020 and...

I'm looking to get into AG in the next couple of months, but I am quite worried about brewing in my kitchen. For one, it's a very small kitchen and to monopolize it for nearly a whole day would probably not please the flatmate and for two, would the steam cause any damage to walls/wallpaper...

When I first decided I wanted to try brewing, I didn't realize that so many kits were available and I thought I'd have to jump straight into something more along the lines of AG. That thought was pretty exciting to be honest, and I can't wait to make the jump. I've been reading about making...

Just completed my third brew day last night. Figure I'd get some of the pics up here for everyone to see! I don't have any pics of the sterilising portion of the night as the camera woman was eating dinner whilst I prepped everything :D This is the kit I made. Warming up the contents of...

I'm currently brewing my second batch of beer from a Munton's Wheat beer kit. While I was mixing it, the beer smelled amazing. I even snuck a taste while waiting for the SG to settle and it was pretty decent. I let it ferment for 8-10 days (until the SG finally settle around 1008) and then...

So, I'm new to brewing and new to the forum. I've done two kits so far with pretty unfavorable results :oops: Hoping to get the hang of it though as I'm really enjoying the process of brewing so far! As you could probably tell from my spelling of "unfavorable" I'm originally from the US...
