Hi folks, I don't make recipes often, I'm looking to make something biscuity/toasted with a classic hop. I'd appreciate if someone could verify and check the grain bill ratios are okay for what I'm trying to achieve? I'm trying to avoid red flags like too much specialty malt or over bitterness...

Hi folks, I did a transfer of an imperial stout this weekend from primary to secondary, and I had my primary FV in a cooling jacket which had some condensation water accumulating in the bottom of it - 9 days of fermentation it must have been sitting there. I did the transfer within the cooling...

Hi folks, I was wondering if someone could lend a hand with troubleshooting on cloudiness here. I used irish moss (super moss), I used immersion cooling, I filtered with nylon netting during transfer to the wort. It came out clear before pitching the yeast as below shows: Bottled it after 2...

Hi folks, I'm going to have an excess of hop pellets after my brew, but I don't have any vaccuum packing equipment. I'll probably use the rest in about 4-6 months. Is there any quick storage fix to keep the remaining pellets or are they better chucking/cooking? I could also buy a cheap vaccuum...

Hi All, Was just wondering if it's at all possible to bring back a brew from the dead? I used a friends plastic pressure keg recently and the lever tap seal isn't very stable on it; had de-pressurise and reseal it twice now due to leakage, as a result it's getting stale: Is it possible to add a...

Hello all, I recently moved house and now I have a Belgian Ale my FV in a 16-18oC area. I'm used to brewing at 21oC and I was wondering what are the effects of doing this: Will my brew taste different fermenting at colder temperatures? Will I have to wait significantly longer to siphon? (eg I...

Hello all, Just wondering if anybody has seen or plotted a graph of specific gravity over time during primary fermentation before. Quite interested to see if it directly relates to the exponential growth of yeast and co2 expulsion etc. I'd also be interested to know how it varies between...

Hello everyone, How long should it take to develop about 5-8g co2 in a pressure barrel using only secondary fermentation? I've been using 23 litres of wort resulting in about 2 inches of clearance. On one of my recent brews I put 85g fine brew sugar in before I siphoned the primary wort into...

Hello there! Recently got into brewing about a month ago, really loving it! I used to flavour gins and vodkas etc but there's only so much you can do with that: With fermentation there's endless possibilities. I'm operating in the Leeds area, tried Abbey Home Brew shop and liking it, but...
