Fine Panther IPA

Thanks, the long term aim for me is a corny setup, I just want to make sure I get it right with the basics and manage to knock out a half decent beer before commiting, I've told myself if I can get half decent by Christmas then I'll invest in the new year 😀

Yea tested it in water and seems to be giving the right reading, going to make some more of this, go over the instructions carefully, make sure im sanitising everything well and see what round 2 brings 😶

I added pellets loose and sieved out at the end :D

Fg was 1.012 Used fuggles pellet hops, followed the clibit method, I would say it tastes more dry, deffo not really sweet.

Thanks for the quick reply! I bottled, left on the side for a week, transfered to a fridge for a week and then outside into a plastic storage shed. Was stable Fg, didn't cold crash and I'm no expert at all but judging by the way it spurted out of the bottle, probably for a full minute, losing...

That website looks fantastic will get some great help there.... I've heard of Mr Hughes but not looked into him so that's my homework tonight.

Hi everyone, So I've had my first bash at the simple smash which is conditioning and have 2 kits on the go. Currently waiting for my bonfire toffee stout to be delivered. So I randomly brought some malts and have the following (only the 1 hops because I brought everything from b2b which have...
