Great thanks for that info!

Does anyone know if the homebrew competition results have been posted anywhere?

I'd have to go with Thornbridge Jaipur. Although it isn't my favourite beer, it isn't even my favourite beer from Thornbridge, I never seem to tire of them. When my palette is shot from drinking my third barrel aged fruited sour or double chocolate peanut butter biscuit imperial porter, I go to...

I think the answer is yes. It isn't very good against viruses all it has going for it is a low pH. (I'm assuming starsan and chemsan are interchangeable). You need a pH of below 3.6 to envelope the virus. Starsan/chemsan is 3.5. Looks like it would need a contact time of about 5 min for a 100...

Thanks so much for the feedback grizzly. Fully understand the delay and of course your family comes first! Well done and best to you and your family!

I have one similar to these. Can hold some hops but probably not enough for some of the current NEIPA craze. Think I could get about 100 g of pellets into it. Otherwise great , also use half of it to catch grain when I circulate wort during mashing...

Thanks Grizzly, looking forward to it. Hopefully you haven't been sending feedback from. Best to worst

This is what I have done so far as well, and see no reason to try deal with harvesting from fermenter now.

I agree 100% if you are using a simple pack of dry yeast (which I believe the OP was), however I have a kettle sour planned with OYL-605 (£8ish) and then fermented with WLP644 also (£8ish). I will def be looking to reuse/save from this for reducing future costs.

Thanks! @JonBrew signed up. Already over capacity!

Final Update on this beer. I am really happy with how this project turned out. All that is left is for it to be drank, and ponder on improvements. The beer never cleared up all the way however it ended with a nice colour and clarity. The head doesn't last very long and definitely isn't...

Well done!

Great Thanks Grizzly, looks like a fun tasting that you are setting up! A few more details about the beer if you want for your spreadsheet Style: Sweet Stout OG: 1.059 FG: 1.020 Alc: 5.2% IBU: 26 Method: All Grain

Thanks for the judging Ghillie, agree very much with all the feedback you gave.

A second to last update on this. After four days of cold crash at 4 °C, the beer cleared up a little however is definitely still not clear. I think it still looks quite nice though so I'm happy with this. It is a nice straw colour, similar to a berlinner weisse I would say. We bottled about...
