    This was my first attempt at harvesting yeast from an IPA using Vermont yeast after reading on hear and watching a few videos on youtube.

    I have a recipe for a Dusseldorf Altbier and I have gone and forgotten to buy the 15 hop addition which is Tettnang. I have some Saaz so is that the obvious sub? Or does anyone have another suggestion as I have quite a few different hops stored in the freezer.

    Bittering Hops

    I’m talking about the hops that go in at the beginning of the boil whatever the length. If I’m correct the hops at the beginning of the boil add no hoppy flavour or aroma just bittering flavour/taste. Is it purely about achieving a particular IBU with any hop? Can I just use any...

    Disconnecting freezer box inside fridge

    Does anyone have any experience of disconnecting a freezer box that is inside a fridge. Have been offered a tall larder fridge (1.4m high), but it has a small freezer box inside. Id like to disconnect it if it is likely to cause problems like condensation around it or water dripping of it.
