    Co2 notts/Sheffield

    Does anyone know a supplier in this area? I was getting it from a local hydro shop for £17 a refill but they’ve been struggling to get it reliably lately and understandably I’m at the back of the queue as I don’t really make them any money as that’s all I buy from there and keep the bottle for 6...

    Replacing Grainfather thermometer

    I’ve buggered the cable coming out of the controller. It still works but it’s knackered. I’d rather not have to buy a new controller just for the thermometer. Is it replaceable? I’m handy with a soldering iron. I know I can’t buy a direct replacement but thermometers aren’t all totally different...

    Vegan finings.

    Afternoon, I've not fined a beer in some time, well cold side at least. I'm not vegan personally but I have some guests imminent that are. And having just acquired a beer engine I promised to l them some cask ale as they very rarely get the chance to drink it. I've knocked up a American pale...

    Clean and fresh hop taste - how?

    I've been brewing for a quite a while, maybe 200 all grain brews. Tend to stick to hop forward beers, saisons and occasional foreys into some German styles. And the odd stout as my missus likes them. One thing that I constantly notice when drinking hop forward beers from the top breweries is...

    Lallemand kolsch yeast

    Anyone used this? I posted a while back about realising I only had a single packet half way through brew day so had to under pitch it. It fermented out to about 1.011. Lagered it and it's dropped crystal clear but the beer has absolutely no flavour. It's pretty poor. Honestly tastes what I...

    Incognito - dry hop or not?

    Been curious about this stuff so ordered 15ml of Sabro and 15ml of citra to see what's it's about. Made a basic pale today. 5kg Maris otter, 300g malted oats and 150g Vienna. For good measure used a extract for bittering too. Apparently to about 35ibus so nothing major. Water adjusted to be...

    Verdant IPA yeast

    This is London ale 3 right? I mean the only yeast I've seen produce that much Krausen is london ale 3. If anything this produces even more. But it looks the same. Big thick bubbly Krausen. The sort you could probably just bake into a loaf of bread without any actual flour haha. In any case...

    lallemand kolsch pitching rate.

    I've just got my grain weighed out to do a fairly standard kolsch with this yeast and just noticed it's pitching rate is 1g/litre meaning I need 2 packs, I have only one (making it more expensive than liquid yeast which I'd have bought had I noticed this!). Anyway, has anyone brewed about 20l...

    Party Star Deluxe Tap + free bungs

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/eHhscDUCknMSMmXe6 £27 posted. Will throw in some mini keg bungs as well. As a few of the black and red 2 piece ones. And a few of the grey ones with the plastic insert that the tap goes through. Not sure how many of each so they just come free with the tap. Edit -...

    Fermentasaurus #2 aka fermking

    Anyone seen one in the flesh? The new fermzilla thingy looked pretty nice but I like the size of the original fermentasaurus so didn't fancy upgrading. Turns out for whatever reason a new a fermentasaurus is on the way called the fermking and better still you can covert your existing...

    Explain my water report to me :)

    I have has a report done and am now messing with the bru n water spreadsheet. I have sorta managed to work it out but I realise I don't really understand any of it and am just banging numbers in :) So can someone tell me if anyone of these numbers are super high, low, or anything jumps out...

    Flexible gas line.

    What do I need to buy to move from the usual 3/8 rigid gas line to the flexible tubing I always see the yanks using? The rigid stuff is just a massive pain in my fridge. It's all 3/8s to JG pushfit. Mostly cornies but a few Sankeys too. I gather I would need to replace the JG push pit with hose...

    Schwarzbier

    Afternoon I know this translates literally as black beer but I've always thought of it as a black lager. Dry, refreshing, clean with a hint of roast. I fancy brewing one but every recipe I find seems to include either loads of roasted malts (a stout?), 90%+ Munich (a dunkle). Some have crystal...

    Using a stir plate to add o2 at pitching

    Probably sounds a bit odd but I currently have no way to get o2 into a brew for tomorrow. Bar shaking my FV which is a bit big for that. I have built up some London ale III from some slurry from march in 2 stages and now have a very active 2 litre starter. I was thinking crashing it over night...

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Morning. I normally keg, not bottled anything for 4 years but recently got inspired to do a Belgium Tripel which could do with going into 330s really. I decided to not ferment under pressure so it won't be carbed but wondering if once done Iattach the pressure lid with some tube to the bottling...

    How water proof is grainfather?

    I brew outside. It rains occasionally obviously. I do tend to avoid brewing when it's obviously gonna **** down but sometimes get caught out. Can the grainfather deal with a bit of rain? I can get a cover of some sort but it will still get a little bit wet. I do have a waterproof plug enclosure...
