Hi Guys, So I'll be moving to Tokyo in Feb and plans of building a kegerator here have been permanently put on hold. I bought this corny keg a little while ago - it was used when I bought it, but I haven't touched it. It's made by the Cornelius Co - 18.9litres Looking for...

Hey Everyone, So I had my brew day on Saturday, hoping to make a clone of one of my favourite beers (Cloudwater’s v13 DIPA). This was done via the BIAB method, which admittedly was a tall order as it was also my first time at BIAB, but I figured go big or go home! I posted the original...

Hey everyone, So I've been enamoured with NE style IPAs and DIPAs for the past year and have finally dusted off my brew kit to give it a go myself. I'm a massive fan of Cloudwater and their DIPA series, and I decided to piece together a recipe for their DIPA v13 based on information I’ve...

So I got home on Saturday evening at 10:30pm and stupidly decided to start brewing. I was expecting my deliveries of hops and grains early in the morning, but they didn't turn up until about 3pm and I had to head out as I had plans. I ended up sleeping at 4am, mainly due to the fact that I was...

So I brewed a beer with a friend recently that was very similar to this. The hop aroma was great, and it tastes really good, but I would have preferred it to be more bitter - we hit 20 IBU but I'm aiming for about 30 IBU. It also got me wondering how much more delicious citrusy aroma and...

Hey All, Just looking for some advice. I brewed this recipe at the end of June. It tastes and smells amazing, but I’m realising that it’s got a really bitter after taste. Calculated IBUs are around 65 IBU, which I realise is a bit on the bitter side, but I’ve had double...

Hi Guys, This will be my 3rd extract brew. I'm quite fond of dunkelweizens and so is my brother so I wanted to brew one to appease him for letting my have all my brewing equipment in the flat! I've found a recipe online, let me know how it looks: Batch size: 20L OG 1.049 Expected FG...

Today I brewed my second extract beer with steeping grains. I followed a similar base recipe to the Beavertown Gamma Ray clone that I modded to make a Black IPA in my previous attempt, which turned out delicious. i decided to use the same recipe, but change the hops up. Recipe as follows...

Question is pretty self explanatory. I'm planning an IPA, bittering with Magnum and I've got 4 additional hops I can mix and match with Citra. I don't have quite enough Citra to do a single hopped beer, so I wanted to hear what you guys prefer to pair with Citra? Ideally I want it to be a...

Just wondering if anyone here makes it down to this amazing event? http://www.londoncraftbeerfestival.co.uk/ I went last year as it handily coincides with my brother's birthday. Tickets this year are a bit pricier at £38.50 for a 5 hour session. You get a free programme and a taster glass...

This hobby is too addictive, I've just gone and set myself up with a temperature controlled fridge to use as either a beer fridge or a fermentation chamber. I spent some time hunting around on ebay and found a nice display fridge for £36. I cleaned it out and gave it a once over with...

I’m researching recipes that I want to brew down the line and I wanted to try my hand at extract brewing using steeped grains before I move on to AG. One thing I really want to brew is a Porter. One recipe I really want to try calls for Brown malt and has pale malt as the base along with...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping to get a bit of advice on converting an AG recipe I found for a Beavertown Gamma Ray clone. I'm close to bottling my first brew, which was a Youngs American IPA kit. I want to move up to AG eventually but I thought to try my hand at extract brewing first as it seemed...
