    Hop plants/rhizomes - growing report

    Exactly the same for me, too many greenfly and not enough ladybird larvae. I have nothing on my prima Dona, tradition crop is greatly reduced, chinook hardly any on and my cascade is rather late, though more of a crop developing.

    7kg Grain Bill in a 35l Brewzilla?

    I regularly do at least two brews in a day and find the extra time is not a problem. I guess you’ll be setting aside the first batch and boiling together (an extra 1.5hrs?). I never do a full clean in between, just hose everything down whilst the next batch’s water is heating. Another option...

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    I’m on @chopps murgy straight or murky bend as it’s called in Preston. I’m definitely going to have to take the trip to the tap room or a nearby by pub to taste it as it should be. Really enjoying after a long weekend decorating 👍

    Crankshaft - Another one gone.

    What a nightmare! I get the occasional bag of malt from crankshaft and of course sample their ales when I can. Every one I’ve had has been first rate! Particularly liked the American cream ale over the summer. Good luck to them both.

    Mobile dispensing cleaning beer lines

    I use this cleaning kit too, works a treat on my Keezer lines. Make sure you get a very sturdy plastic bottle, so far I’ve found coke ones the best. Might just be my threads but I find you have to really tighten to get a seal and thin plastic doesn’t hold up well. Also, for the price I would...

    CBC/Meantime/The Malt Miller British IPA Competition

    I made a few hop teas with British hops over the weekend to see what combinations worked well, I simply don’t get all the aromas talked about on CBC video and I was a bit underwhelmed with the Olicana.

    Doing my first brew using my own recipe

    Mosaic is a fantastic hop, citra and mosaic work well together, particularly in a dry hop.

    Closed transfer

    I’d say it depends if you’re time restricted, I do this sometimes and it takes quite a while to transfer. To be honest I would have a gas line in standby to use if transfer sticks, because I find that it often starts ok and then seems to run out of steam. I haven’t figured out why but I...
