Thats sort of what i thought. I only want it about 4-4.5% so will probably adjust the grain bill down a bit to 4.5kg's?

There are some good recipes in the book but some do need to be re-jigged a bit but this just seemed a bit wrong!

5.2kg total grain bill

i know! Ive noticed a few things in this book which have been off target or just plain wrong with info!

HI All, Has anyone brewed the golden summer beer recipe from the home-brew handbook (Dave law and Beshlie Grimes)? Im thinking of brewing it this weekend but the original gravity and final % seems off to me? The original gravity is 1073 and final is 1010 giving a %of only 4.5%. Surely an...

the last coupe of years my brews have not been their best and i got a water report from Murpheys. I followed their guidelines for Water treatment but never that happy. Ive recently done a brew (big Kenny) following the procedure outlined at the beginning of the post and the beer was fantastic...

drinking my Adnams southwold clone. Last pint or so from my keg which i tapped at new years. Surprised its still tasting great, air hasn't affected it at all!

yes, i think it was the first edition. Cant find it anywhere in the house!!!

HI All, i seem to have lost my original book by Graham Wheeler for "british real ale " and in it there is a recipe for Adnams best using caramel and sugar additions. Is it possible, if anyone has it, to pm me the recipe? Its always been the best recipe for this fantastic beer and i've lost it...

yeah, i plan to pass it through my plate chiller straight after the hop rocket

I've used all sorts of brass objects to weigh down my bags:shock: Im hoping the hop rocket will replace the need for dry hopping. Im doing a Punk spa clone tomorrow so i might split it into two batches - hop rocket one and dry hop the other:-)

Hi All, I'm still in the early days of using my Hop Rocket and wondered whether anyone knows whether using a hop rocket after the boil when transferring into the FV is better (for nice hoppy aroma) than dry hopping? I've always found it difficult to fully submerge my hops in muslin bags...

well i have the Blichmann beer gun and the quality is great. Probably better resale value well if you decide to get rid.

Sounds ok to me. I would also raise the temp to 19 for a diacytle (not sure if spellings right!) rest to clean up the taste and then on to the lagering. I made one this summer and my German friends from Cologne verified its taste! Lovely clean and fresh tasting! I left mine for 4 weeks at 0.5c

Sounds interesting, but why back to the boiler after going through chiller plates and not into fermenter? Trying to catch cold break?

I'm keen to use my hop rocket between boiler and chiller for my next brew. My issue Is that I normally do a 75l brew length. Does a hop rocket with 100g of hops (nice and hoppy!) need to be refilled after 25l? Would I notice a significant drop in hoppiness in a brew length of this length?

Nicely done!

Thanks clibit I'll take a look! Bit of a pain as there where some great recipes on there! T

Hi All, haven't posted for a while (busy brewing:party:) Just got onto the recipe section to look up my favourite brew -Big Kenny- and its nowhere to be found? Seems to be a lot less recipes than there used to. Am i not looking in the right place? have they been archived:hmm: tim

Hi all! I'm about to convert a larder fridge to be a dispensing fridge for a corny or two. Any recommendations for a good tap to use/buy to fix to the outside of the fridge door? Tim
