Todays brew day was the first since before xmas. Back to basics. A simple smash which is almost ready to go into the fermenter. Early start thanks to economy 7 tariff. I've called it "Revolution" in contempt of todays proceedings. What's the consensus on adding boiling water to the boil to...

So. Upon returning from the middle east last week I happened to stop at the "spoons" at St Pancras and had an absolutely fantastic pint of this beer. Now I'm not too many AG brews in with my brewdevil but I'm wondering if anyone can put me right with a clone style recipe for this beer. I'm...

Ok Oh wise ones... Just prepping up for a Greg Hughes recipe for tomorrow. I'm still new in the game at AG however I've tried to self help but i cant really find out if there's a difference a huge difference or nothing really between each of the Goldings hops naming conventions. If anyone can...

So. Here was me trying to upscale a small 9ltr recipie to 18ltrs so i could keg it (i have a 9.5ltr small corny) and bottle what was left... I should have known that leaving the bottom tap open on my brewdevil while filling my strike water was a bad sign... It got worse. During the mash i...

Greetings. Am following this recipie and im confused. Would the aroma hops be added at 20 mins left on the boil OR would they be added at boil end for a 20mins hopstand? Im struggling on what to decide. Whats the concensus? Many thankings

Hi all. Almost completed my old fridge conversion. Plan to use a sodastream bottle. Got the reg and lines. Question is. Gas in or outside? Any advantages or disadvantages to either. I have a 19L and 9L keg. All new to me as i plan the first brew for kegging soon.. All advice appreciated.

Blackberrys from my garden TC.... reached for the yeasts from the fridge... dammit

Out and about on work related activities and some 150miles from home I spied the signs for this place just 4 miles from where I was...Needless to say i had to pop in to the shop.

An experimental Mango IPA type.. So today Im throwing all caution to the wind and going totally experimental with a small 1 gallon ish tester batch of mango beer. Im using cascade & Chinook as that's what ive got. The grain bill consists of 1050gr MO & 55gr of dark crystal as I want to use it...

Just found this on the tinterweb. 43 x 1.3 gallon brews. Imperial to metric conversion reqd for the ingredients. Theres at least 10 brews Im going to be interested in. Email sign up reqd but it works with temp mail in case you don't want to hear any more...

Over the last 12 months ive pretty much got TC's down to a fine art. Considering the first was vinegar and the next few lacking in fizz im fairly impressed with my skills and help from the good folk here. Is there any way to get any more apple flavour into a TC? I use lidl or aldi juices and...

Finally got round to doing a half batch of the Dark Rock PJ clone. Its a part grain kit as ive had bad luck on the last 3 AG recipies. Chose this to regain my confidence. Very simple to follow instructions. Glad i spent the morning brewing...in my pyjamas.

I just started using a refractometer. However as an experiment i took SGs with both tonight on a summer fruit TC. I got 2 seperate readings R 1046 H 1042 Any comments or pointers greatly recieved. The refractometer was correctly calibrated.

Just been to lidl for 3 AJs and a bag of summer fruit berries. Attempting it on weds being as ive now got the TC art down to a good process. Keeping it simple and I only make 1 gallon batches for bottling. Any tips n hints on a SF TC would be welcome. (:-)

Right, now I've done a few successful TC's after the first disastrous cider vinegar.....I'm thinking of making my own pear syrup from a basic recipe (1 cup pear cubes to 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water) and then adding it to my TC at the bottling stage. Would I be right in saying that the sugar in...

Very pleased with this. Racked today. Bottle tomorrow. Turned out 6.8% 4.5ltr Lidl AJ. Cup cold tea. 1tsp pectulose. 150g extra sugar. Mangrove Jack yeast. Its been in the DJ 4wks. Smoothe enough to drink already. Im going to bottle tomorrow with half tsp sugar per btl. In celebration ive...

Currently my boiling is done on the stove top and id like to know: When tipping the wort into the FV do i do it thru a filter bag to remove the majority of hops or do i just tip it all in and worry about it after fermentation?

The all in one machines from Brewdevil Grainfather Klarstein or any other brand? How do they rate in your opinion? Or have you simply set your own up? post a pic.

Ive had a search. Cant really find out what this is or its meaning. Any assistance appreciated.
