    Brewing Belgian beers

    This was the post that helped me the most for making Candi syrup. I would say to go by smell when making it but use this strictly for your first attempt. It will smell awful until the DAP nutrient boils off though so make sure to open the windows. I would go for the darkest ones if making a...

    Carbonating RIS

    Thanks for the tips. It looks like it should be reasonably safe to bottle as normal. Hopefully using the maple to bottle won’t cause any additional issues.

    Carbonating RIS

    Ah ok that’d be easier. Is that still true of yeasts like WLP007? It’s defiantly one of the most focculant yeasts I’ve used and I dumped a lot of it out already. I guess it would be better not to cold crash this beer as well then?

    Carbonating RIS

    Hey guys, A few weeks ago I brewed my first Imperial Stout (OG 1.113) it reached its FG of 1.036 after a week and a week or so later after dumping the trub I added rum barrel chunks and lot of Maple Syrup which fermented out over about 5 days. After that I also added a small mix of vodka with...

    September comp American pale ales

    Happy with 2nd on my first comp entry . Looking forward to hearing feedback on it it. I think the crush may have been a little off on the oats I added as I missed my target OG and the body wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. Also want to add a few more whirlpool hops next time.

    Got a mixed ferm dark sour saison that was blended with raspberries/blackberries. It’s been aging for about 4 months now if you fancy trying that?

    Cool Brewing Bag

    I was hoping to not post really and £10 was a bit of a guesstimate as I haven’t packaged it up and got a quote. Leyton is very near though as I’m on the side of Walthamstow closest to Leyton anyway. If that’s breaking any selling rules guys please let me know. Cheers

    Cool Brewing Bag

    Thanks guys but due to the size of packing it up I don’t think I’d be able to post it for much less than £10. It’s not heavy just quite big. I can also meet in central London if that’s easier for anyone. Or I can drop off to a buyer at the homebrew con in London on November 24th.

    Cool Brewing Bag

    Had this for about a year now but no longer need it as I’ve upgraded to a more elaborate setup. I generally had one to two frozen 2 litre bottles in it to keep the temps down during summer months and it does work very well for something so simple. Also used it to keep temps up with a hot...

    Double Dry Hop - To dump or not?

    Yes counting down to when I start crashing. Think its because this is the way I put it into my Beersmith recipes.
