I really like the Planet Pale too. Nice to kick off with one I have not tried before..

Sorry for the late reply. As someone said there is enough bitterness from those late hops in the final beer. I enjoyed it very much as did friends of mine. It was very tasty... But they are not everyone's cup of tea.....

I have made the California Common and the Black IPA. Making the Black IPA again this Friday but only adding the dark malts during the last 15 mins of the mash this time. Was good before but I want to see what it's like without the slight roast flavour. Also made the American IPA, Neipa...

They send you that length of line but you need shorten it to suit how you like your beer....

Lucky freedom would be perfect... Thanks...

I use it in any beer.....😋

Cheers. Thank you for the info..👍

I stopped eating meat for health reasons 7 years ago. Used to get small fluttering spasms in my gut. Not any more. People ask do you feel better for it? Apart from the spasms not happening, I feel the same, which I think is good..... no better no worse. And as time has passed I am happy I am...

To avoid a boil over I use this stuff. A bit on the end of a teaspoon handle is all that is needed in the wort coming up to the boil. I then watched the foam rise, then suddenly it just caves in on itself... Brilliant.....

Oooer.... There really shouldn't be anything left in the pump from the last brew. It needs washing out after each brew

I went for a two keg system from Brewkegtap. Using a full pub size Co2 cylinder. If you start with sodastream you may find it false economy in the end. My cylinder has lasted for nearly 2 years carbing up approx 20 brews. It may just be getting close to empty, which is a worry at the moment, but...

Just so happy her and Chibnall are off. I love her as an actor, and thougjt this could be amazing. But his writing has been dire. He chose a platform that has historically been pure escapism to express his PC views. Stand up for what you believe in by all means, but don't use Dr Who to do it. I...

If it works for us Griff097, all well and good. Going to try it on my next one too...

Well, up to my last brew I just sprinkled in my US05 or whatever and fermentation has kicked off about 24 hours later. My last brew was a Raspberry Wheat beer. I had read about using wort to rehydrate yeast. So, during the boil on brew day I took off some wort in an erlenmeyer flask, let it cool...
