Pale ale All Grain Sg 1.054 FG 1.005 6.1 % abv

So I just kegged my beer and the first sample both me and my pattern think that it lacks flavour. Is this something that will improve with age?

hey guys my pale ale has been in the fermenter for 16 days now at 21 degrees. I hit original gravity bang on at 1.052 my final gravity should have been 1.011 but over the last 3 days my gravity has read at 1.005. the yeast I have been using is WLP001. can anyone give any advice of what's when...

Hi Guys does anyone know where I can get a dual CO2 regulator that would fit a Sodastream or an addapter so that one can be used with a Sodastream? cheers

cheers guys definetly going to build my own

so been looking into stir plates and my question is are they worth it? also how do you avoid losing the magnetic bar in the beer without leaving behind some of the yeast?

hi Guys first time using white labs 001, can anyone advise how long it normally takes to take off?

fermenting using WLP590 at 20c-22c

so I brewed a honey sasion on the 18th of Aug and the OG Was 1.053 and I took a sample both yesterday and today and the gravity was both sitting at 1.024 it should finish closer to about 1.016. I have gate the fermenter a shake to try and stir up the yeast again, is there anything else I can do...

hi guys any recommendations where I can get a cheap-fish mash tun/cool box with a tap? looking to spend about £30-£40? many thanks

Hi guys Just checked on the brew today, it smells great and is looking good. Any idea what the area of film is in the to area overnight about 1/5 of the beer? And also down the bottom corner? Cheers

so brewery has been and it worked great. found a slight leak at the seal, only about a teaspoon of wort was lost so it should be a simple fix

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It’s definitely watertight and has been leak tested. It’s is insulated with compressed polystyrene so that should help with heat retention. I will let you know how the first use goes on Friday.

So today I built a cheap mash tun. Just wondering on what people’s thoughts are?
