    Fermenting 9 litres in a FV designed for 20L Litres

    I always brew 10l batches in a 25l FV without it being an issue.

    Show us your beer.

    Trying this for the first time. It's the Kernel Export India Porter recipe from the Craftbrew book. I used citra to hop and dry hop. I'm really pleased with the results. Love the grapefruit flavours mixing with dark chocolate on the palate.

    To add spray malt or not?

    At the risk of sounding a bit pedantic, yeast isn't a bacteria. It is in fact a fungi.

    Cooling prior to fermenting

    Stating the obvious alert: You can get the wort down to fermentation temperature quicker. In my experience, just leaving it to cool naturally takes an age...even overnight a batch didn't drop down to fermentation temperature. It just seems more convenient.

    Beer cappers

    I had one of these when I first started. It was awful...lasted one brew and then wouldn't work anymore. I invested in a table top one which is much better. I haven't looked back since.

    Pressure barrel or bottles?

    I've only ever bottled my beer. It helps that I only brew 10l batches. I'm curious to know how people cool beer which is kept in a pressure barrel. I imagine it'd be too large to fit into a fridge and unless you have a cellar with cooling equipment, I imagine that the beer will be coming out...

    Glasses , snobs or owt ?

    I've got this lot for drinking beer. My favourite one is the Longhorn IPA glass. It weighs a tonne though, even when it's empty. For beers in smaller can and 330ml bottles I prefer to use the Stori Beers glass (the one I've served the Moor Beer Stout in). Whether or not the beers are better...

    How many litres of home brew 2018.

    I think you need to relook at the total. You need to add your figures to Clint's 10323l.

    How many units per week. [POLL]

    Most weeks less than 14 units, not that I count. Last weekend I celebrated my 30th birthday, so well exceeded the 14, but that's the exception rather than the rule. In general, I don't drink alcohol between waking up on Monday morning to getting home on Friday night. This rule changes when I'm...
