Did the BIAB and used a 75 micron bag which literally makes it hard for water to flow through...and i still have the same issue. I dont think any false bottom would help in this case but...before i invest is in a circulation pump system - do you think it would work? I am using a 30 lt kettle and...

Hi, i recently started hb using a burco/cygnet kettle and it was doing fine with the ipa. When i say good, i mean i had one stuck fermentation and proper one so far but no scorching or anything. Recently the temperature in the shed was between 9-12 and seems like it will remain that wy for a...

Thanks a lot @terrym . 1- i wasnt aware of that actually. Thought only checking it against water to show 1.0000 was all :/ any reads you can recommend? 2- the fv has a tiny valve so i havent opened the lid yet. So i am hoping i havent spoilt it yet 3- great - i will monitor the sg using...

I have a little problem i think - the refractometer and the hydrometer show different values...first one 1.0325 the other 1.021 is there a way of finding out which one is correct, other than buying a third device? theres very little activity in the fv and the refr Has been showing the same...

So, how did it go? All well i hope?

To be honest my plan was to discover as much as possible during initial batch so i’ve tasted the wort, tasted the ferment every day and planning to keep doing :) there’s also information overload aspect. I think i read too much, at least enough to confuse myself. One thing i already love about...

Thanks a lot Pugh, much appreciated. A quick update and some questions (obviously :)) the photos show the fv and the sample i took using the tap for measuring gravity... Og was 1.051,1d later 1.035 and the next day it s 1.033. This mean something isnt right is it? Target was 1.009 and...

Hi, i finally took the plunge and got all my equipment, materials, hops, grains sorted and did my first brew (target being TR tropica). It a. 10l batch with 85pale, 10 wheat and 5 oat....(recipe 1)however this recipe didnt have fruits, so i hybridised it another mango ipa recipe which showed...

You mean you got some homebrewed ones or TR cans. I may order some cans - just noticed they re back in stock. It s not a beer i would want to drink whole night but definitely one of the two beers i crave for (other one is a pilsner i had In prague hmmmmm pilsner - this one is actually my secret...

Hi, Does anyone have the clone recipe? Thanks in advance. I say the beer fact sheet on TR webpage but without quantities etc doesnt mean much to me. Done a bit of research and read some posts saying Tr published all their recipes but not sure if they were referring to the non-quantifies beer...

Very much appreciated - really hearing others’ view and experience is very baluable. Sabings from bottles, energy wasted from freezng are the stuff i had not appreciate. I think i will go back to researching the wort chillers then :) thanks again

Hi, I am planning to buy a 30 l burco kettle for home brew but wasnt sure how best to cool the wort. i live in a flat and dont have any use for the circulated warm water. And i dont feel comfortable pouring clean water through the drain... One solution i though was transferring the wort into...
