    Centennial Blonde Advice

    Good day Brewers and Brewster's, I've brewed a Centennial Blonde for the first time and it's completely fermented out in just under 3 days. I've dumped the dead yeast and trub; now I need to decide what conditioning to do. 1) Treat it like an American IPA, keg it and carbonate at 12 PSI for a...

    Crushed Malt - How old is too old?

    Hi, I took a break from brewing since the start of 2022, but still have a lot of crushed grain that I purchased from Maltmiller around that time. The was a best before date of Mar'22 on it, but how "strict" is this date. I want to still use this if I can to avoid throwing it out. Is there...

    Spray malt with all grain?

    Hi, I’m about to embark on my 3rd brew starting with all grain. I’ll be making my own mash from black malt and/or chocolate malt and roasted barley. On my previous brew I added spray malt after the sparging but I’m wondering whether that’s necessary this time. This brew will be a Black Forest...

    All grain kits

    I normally buy my all grain kits from GetErBrewed. I am currently looking at designing my own recipes but not quite ready for the jump. My question is where else can I buy pre packaged all grain packs from? Thanks

    3rd AG brew 1 week in

    My 3rd AG brew. 1 week in I had to have a taste. It’s an APA dry hopped and really happy with it so far. What do you think of the colour? (Still has a couple of weeks conditioning bear in mind)

    11L All Grain BIAB recipe HELP!

    Hi Everyone, I am desperately after some helping with making my first 11L all grain BIAB recipe. I opted for 11L batches instead of the normal 23L as I want to experiment more. The goal is to then get an all in one system in the future. I tried to go onto Brewers friend and create an equipment...

    What if I don't cold crash a lager?

    Hi all I am doing my first lager. It is an all grain lager recipe with saflager w37/70 which re-hydrated and pitched at 12C. So far it is all going to plan, I have done 21 days at 12 degrees C, now I am halfway through a diacetyl rest at 18C for 2 days (it took three days to gradually increase...

    Long fermentation of all grain

    Hi I've recently brewed my first all grain (stove top style) kit. Had a lot of activity with the fermentation within the first few days. But 4 weeks on, it looks like it is still fizzing. By that, I mean theres still small bubbles being released. Is this normal? As it's in a demijohn I can see...

    Crushing Grain Without a Mill

    Hi All, A recent order with maltmiller for fine crushed maris otter resulted in a delivery of uncrushed maris otter. I don't have a mill, or know anyone that does, and checked with my local brewshop and they don't either (found it strange they bought it in crushed, but hey). Any suggestions on...

    Do I need to kiln my barley? (All Grain Recipe)

    After years of making beer with extract, I'm thinking of trying an All Grain recipe. I don't have room for any specialist equipment so I'll be trying Brew in a Bag on my stove. As I understand it (please correct me on this if I'm wrong) once I've sprouted my barley I need to kiln or bake it...

    Howdy all! I've been home brewing cider and and extract beers for a couple years now, but recently obtained a grainfather all-in-one system. This will be my first all grain experience, so i was wondering if you guys and gals had any tips for brewing, fermentation, bottling, etc.?

    Think I might be hooked...

    So, on Sunday I finally cracked a bottle of my first all grain, own recipe beer (a Chocolate Milkshake Stout, at least that’s what I’m calling it)…and was bloody pleased! Before that I had done one Brooklyn Brew Shop kit, which came out average at best, so on Sunday’s tasting I have to admit I...

    How to condition/prime

    Hi there I'm about to strike out into all grain brewing after years of extract. I got a whole load of money to invest into equipment, and have ended up with a grainfather, the grainfather conical fermenter and glycol chiller I've got the grains for the following recipe...

    Lots of yeast activity, nothing in the airlock

    Hello, I just brewed a DIPA (all grain) and 36 hours after I have no activity in the airlock. I can see lots of activity in the fermenter itself - particles swimming around like crazy - there’s a real party going on in there! Just nothing in the bubbler. Anyone any ideas what, if anything might...

    Hey, Guys, After 5-6 extract "brews", it is time to do my first All Grain with my brand new Brew Monk Magnus. I picked a Chocolate Vanilla Porter as it needs a longer maturing and I hope it will become great for the winter days and Christmas. I took the recipe from brewers friend -...

    Ace/Brew Devil/Klarstein/Hopcat 50L

    Can anyone tell me if it’s worth getting the 50L version of the above all-in-one systems if you’re mostly gonna brew 23L batches of beer? I’ve noticed the price to go up from the 30L to the 50L version is about £50 one some versions so should I just get bigger or is there going to be any draw...

    Newby Grain Brewer

    Hi all, I am a fairly amateur brewer having done about half a dozen kits, all with decent results. I've been offered the chance to use a Grainfather for a bit, but have very little idea about grain brewing. Someone pointed me in the direction of your forum and suggested I may get some...
