Im planning my first BIAB brew this weekend using a recipe i have put in beersmith. It is telling me to mash for 70 minutes followed by a 10 min mashout for a light beer or a 90 min mash for medium body. I was under the impression an 60 min mash was normal so should i mash for longer or not?

I have made a wort chiller using 10mm copper pipe. I have attached 2 pieces of garden hose to the ends with jubilee clips but water is leaking out of these ends. First I thought the clips were to big but I have replaced these with smaller ones and they are still leaking. They are tightened as...

I have bought a corny keg and party tap setup but am looking to buy a few metres of beer line and a dalex tap. My question is how does the beer line connect to the tap? Do i need to buy a certain connector or is it simply a push fit?

Wine kit says to top up to 4.5 litres. Will this leave to much headspace in the demijohn? Can this cause Oxidation? What about when it is racked?

Been brewing standard kits for about a year and after reading loads on this forum I thought I would try enhancing one. I started with the Wilko best of British IPA kit. I added a jar of honey to the fermenter and a hop tea made of 25g of cascade hops. I am also planing to dry hop with 25g...
