    The stress of buying liquid yeasts

    I've stayed away from buying liquid yeasts, as getting a packet of dried yeast always seemed far easier than piddling around with making starters, using conical flasks and alchemy. But I'm now trying to make a few beers using GEB's new saveable custom kit builder (finally!) and the beers I'm...

    Competition schedule 2021

    Haha I spent ages awaiting for this and then was off when it was posted! If anyone pulls out I'd be very grateful to replace them. Cheers

    Bread Porn

    Jealous! I looked into building one of these, but I need far more garden first! Strange this topic came up. I made my first sourdough loaves with additions today. Left is chilli and cheese, right is olive.

    I'm tempted to send my first competition beer in... Only problem is I haven't tasted it yet... It's still carbing.

    Fg 1.020 - stuck or just done?

    Hello, yes I did. The temperature was running at 69 when the robobrew said 71, so I now just pitch it a couple of degrees hotter. I've never tested the pH - I thought that was an 'advanced' thing? It may all be inconsequential now - I checked the gravity yesterday and it was 1.018. Patience...

    Double brew days

    Can you set out your day in more detail to account for the 8 hours? I have an all in one system, but my brew day is about 5 hours and I'm working on getting it down to 4: - Prep strike water the night before. - put elements on before breakfast - mash for an hour - sparge 20 mins - boil an...

    Fg 1.020 - stuck or just done?

    I'm brewing *pretty much* the Kernel Brewery's India Export Porter from 'Craft Brew' for the second time. First time I used s04 yeast and carafa II in place of black malt, as I didn't have any. I didn't recirculate the mash, and ended with an OG of 1.042, instead of the intended 1.060. Fg was...

    Lower carbonation bottling

    20 degrees temp controlled. They got to the point where there was a little bit of squeeze in the bottles and decided that was enough. Reckon they'd have done any more?

    JJ'S UNDEFEATED BREAKFAST CHALLENGE

    Shared a 72oz steak with friends once. Ordered it medium rare, but it turned up almost 2 inches thick. Outside wonderfully seasoned, but the middle was just a chunk of almost raw, unseasoned beef. Not sure anyone could eat 100oz of that.
