Hi, I have some yeast in the bottom of some Westvleteren blondes, any ideas how to grow this on or even if it's possible ?

Hello I hope somebody can help me, a friend on here gave me some excellent advice on a Hoegarden clone, unfortunately he doesn't seem to be active anymore, if possible could somebody message me an email address for Pittsy? I'll be happy to provide mine first via message. Thanks

If like me you're a fan of light summer ales, this one is nectar! My first try of this beer tonight and I have to say it is stunning, if anybody has a recipe for thie please, please, please let me have it before the elderflowers become elderberries!

I recently moved a brew to a keg for secondary ferment with 80g dextrose. There doesn't seem to be any carbonation (quality control after a week, I know its early but I only took an inch) I thought I might have a leaky keg as air seemed to enter via the tap, so I thought I'd pop a cylnder of co2...

The elders in the field in front of me are just coming into flower, lets have your best recipes for elderflower shampoo and I'll start some off later this week!

First week in FV, really odd fermenting, like its in cycles, no bubbles for a couple of minutes then continuous for a few seconds then nothing again for a few minutes. Went off like a train, a good thick krausen had risen and fallen within 24hrs, steady temp 20deg, hoping to keg next weekend but...

I've brewed some wine from kit and I'm at the bottling stage. I've decided to filter into a jug before bottling to remove oak chips etc. Having just watched 750ml take what seemed like an hour to pass through a paper filter, does anybody have any better ides or pieces of kit? Thanks in advance...

Apologies, I know this has been asked a million times and I've googled etc but just gotten myself confused. Does anybody have an extract recipe similar to Hoegaarden? I had a couple of pints last night and enjoyed it, so I guess I'm looking for a light white with that citrus/spice edge. Not got...

I have my first ever Wherry in secondary and I have to say I've surprised myself (or the kit was so good) because it tastes great (QC). I reckon it should be ready in a week or so, I primed the barrel with 75gm dextrose and the beer is very lively. I'll leave it now for a week or so, but...

Apologies if this has been asked before if there's a FAQ, but is it good or bad practice to agitate during fermentation? It may not make a difference, the reason i ask is that Mrs Aitch moved one of my brews, it was bubbling at a steady 16/minute at 20deg (steady), after moving it went up a bit...

Hi another daft question. I'm told my beer will taste better using spray malt instead of sugar to prime my keg, do I use the same quantity of malt? Also does this go in dry or do I make a syrup? My first lot (Wherry) is halfway through and if I need to get some malt then obviously need to plan...

Obviously new to this given the question! How critical is temperature control during the first fermentation? The reason I ask is that I've started my first ever kit (Wherry) and its bubbling away nicely, I've put it in the boiler cupboard where the temperature is a pretty constant 23deg. Is this...
