    Double brew day!

    It's been about six months since my last brew so going to squeeze in 2 today! 1st mash is currently going, it's an imperial stout though it is a bit risky as I have no idea what the grain bill is, I bought the grain about 4 months ago from get we brewed custom kits, it was never used due to...

    Anyone in or around belfast?

    Just wondering if anyone in belfast would be interested in bottle swaps? Would be interesting to hear other people's opinions on what I'm brewing.

    What are you drinking tonight?

    Still can't work out these pictures. Everyone I post is rotated somehow. On another note the 200 fathoms is amazing.

    Out of date beer?

    Random question, but as a background, I found 4 bottles of westmalle dubbel out in the shed last week. Out of date in 2014, had 2 tonight with a bottle of the same stuff that was in date. Honestly the difference was unreal, the out of date stuff was far better, far more complex flavours, in...

    Tesco got in the guinness Antwerpen stout so 2 bottles of it, a redwell kofra stout also new in Tesco and a farmageddon India export porter. Maybe some homebrew after that.

    Long conditioning in a pressure barrell

    Completely get what your saying but I'm aiming for a ris which should finish above 1.020. I brew a lot of big stouts all grain and my fg is usually around 1020 with no problems although I've never used a pressure barrell before. Bottled a brewdog tropic thunder clone yesterday aswell with a fg...

    Long conditioning in a pressure barrell

    The link myqul put up on second post where coopers say, expect final gravity to be quite high, around 1022, and that's with 1kg brewing sugar. I used 1kg brown sugar and a tin of black treacle so 1026 ain't far off it really. All those links are 1 can kits, I used 3 cans in mine.

    Long conditioning in a pressure barrell

    Stuck it in the pressure barrell yesterday, got down to 1026 so not far off what coopers say and I expected it to finish quite high. About 9% in the end. Got about 18l in pressure barrell with 70g table sugar! It'll be tucked away now till Xmas. Hopefully will come out ok, just tasted of alcohol...

    Fermenting too low?

    Just an update on this, time really is a wonderful thing. Opened a mini keg of this end of last week, in keg near 2months and it has turned out really nice, a bit under carbed but spot on. Drank over 3 nights, it was bout 7.5%. Bitterness had mellowed off, nice orange smell and some spice from...

    Ace electric boilers?

    It was only 9kg cause my efficiency is still ****, only got 55% with this one again! Thing it's my sparge! Got 22l in fermenter at 1075 so it's costing me in grain! Gonna make some changes to brew day to hopefully improve. Ordered 11kg grain from geterbrewed custom grain kit for an imperial...

    Ace electric boilers?

    Would anyone kindly give me an idiots guide to do a recirculating mash in my ace boiler? Is it just pipe from tap to pump then back in top of boiler?

    What did you brew today?

    Currently chilling to pitching temp is the tropic thunder clone of home brew dog winner. Had to up the grain to account for my **** efficiency so was a 9kg grain bill. Got my water volumes all wrong, prob gonna end up with 18l instead of 23l. Will update og when it's cooled down. The ace was...
