    Overpriming/Uber Fizzy!

    They were in the fridge for about a month, I work 3/3 week shifts so it's easy to chuck them in the fridge to clear ready for when I get home. I used safale US-05 both times for the yeast, mash time were both 60mins at 67C. The first one was brewed about 4 months ago, nd the second around 3...

    Quite possibly as I don't filter it, maybe trying to get too much put the bottom of the fermenter!

    Overpriming/Uber Fizzy!

    Hi All, Thanks for the replies. The FG's were 1010 and 1012 so seemed pretty low. I haven't noticed them getting even fizzier as time passes but I've not been looking out for it. I would also say that they tasted OK, they weren't ground breaking but totally palatable, what sort of flavours...

    Overpriming/Uber Fizzy!

    Afternoon folks, I've only done three all grain brews so far, but I've had the same issue twice. I've used the all grain kits from Get-er-brewed. The Citra single hop turned out really really well, but the IPA and a different IPA kit I had done previously were so fizzy that they erupted out of...

    AG No 5 & 6. Belgian wit and raspberry version.

    Thanks Greenhorn, might try get some of this brewed up before the "summer" ends!

    AG No 5 & 6. Belgian wit and raspberry version.

    These look excellent! Did you do anything with the raspberries in terms of sterilisation or did you chuck your cool wort straight over them in the FV?? Edit: Just re-read. Same question though, just a different stage. Did you need to do anything with the raspberries? Cheers!

    Should dog owners be forced to keep their dog on a lead in public places?

    This is a hot topic for me just now, I have a farm in Scotland with access paths over a significant part of it. I am more than happy to welcome everyone onto the farm/use the paths, but dogs must be kept under control as we have had numerous incidents of dogs attacking our poultry (free range...

    Jet Black Heart Yeast Selection

    Going to go with the US-05, I'll let you know how it turns out......may have to wait a while though as I am "planning" on leaving this until winter to condition.

    Jet Black Heart Yeast Selection

    This'll be my first go at a stout, was looking to get it brewed up and condition until winter. The all grain recipe kit is about £9 on Malt Miller + yeast and delivery.

    Jet Black Heart Yeast Selection

    Hi Guys, I am looking at brewing up some JBH from the DIYDOG book, I'm just ordering stuff from Malt Miller but can't seem to find Wyeast 1056 (recipe guided yeast), can anyone recommend an alternative?? Thanks!

    BIAB in the boiler, no sparge

    Great! Thanks *off to raid the linen cupboard*

    BIAB in the boiler, no sparge

    That's great thanks, I have a false bottom in the boiler which stopped the bag from melting. Just to be clear you turn the boiler off once at the desired temperature, wrap it in a blanket/sleeping bag and go have a beer for an hour?

    BIAB in the boiler, no sparge

    Just been reading through this very useful thread. I did my first BIAB recently and had a question about the mash stage: I had the mash at the correct 66C, then turned the heat off (lid was on the boiler) and left it for the hour. When I came back it had dropped 4C to 62C, now a lot of guys...
