    Which movie(s) have you watched recently?

    We have had A Quiet Place on our planner for ages. Finally watched it last night, I really liked it, mrs isn't a big fan of scary stuff and thought the ending was poor. I thought it had a very good premise, tense, will check out the sequel next year. Before that we watched Joker, which I could...

    Hi from South Wales

    Welcome. Just down the road from you in Caerphilly and moved here from Hengoed! Perhaps a bottle swap in futureacheers.

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    Interesting, do you have a recipe?

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    That's a good idea, most of the US recipes tended towards NEIPA's which I don't think I have the skill at the moment to pull off being only 5 AG brews in. I may actually go Galaxy and Sabro as had forgotten my next brew is Citra Simcoe and I know what I want to do there. Going for smaller...

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    I really want to try the Sabro and I love Citra, so tempted to go that way but really struggling with finding Sabro recipes for some guidance on quantities to use.

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    Interesting shout, I am doing a porter then an IPA but a stout rather than another IPA might work...

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    Thanks again... I do 10L ish BIAB brews; so I'll plug it into Brewers Friend and see what that gives me with a simple grain bill of 3kg Maris Otter as starting point. What sort of hop schedule did you use there if you don't mind a further question? I'm tending to go 30 mins for bittering...

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    thanks for coming back to me- would a third each of galaxy / citra / sabro work then do you think with maybe a clean bittering hop? What sort of quantities do you think?

    Sabro recipe ideas please?

    Hi guys After a very small issue with a previous order; the lovely people from @Get_Er_Brewed have added in 250g of Sabro and 250g Galaxy on the house as part of my latest order with them- much appreciated. I've just brewed with Galaxy as it happens, but never used Sabro; so was wondering if...

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I love Citra. Simcoe I have had a lot in commercial beers and like what it brings flavour wise, so wanted a crack brewing with it... Hopefully I make a decent job of it. I'm going 05 too I think for this one to let the hops be the focus.

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I have got one in the cupboard under the porch put aside to try this.... Perhaps it isn't oxidation then as it doesn't taste too bad... But I still think the finished product is darker than when I bottled it somehow.

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    Incidentally this is how the M44 Galaxy IPA which I fear had some oxygen issues looked out of the fridge last night, in natural light. It tastes alright but not very clean and looks quite dark to

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    Interesting...I think I will go back to US05 and try S04 in the future, I am doing a porter then probably the Citra Simcoe then a first ever attempt at a bitter... So maybe the S04 will go nicely in the bitter?

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I don't think I'll be using M44 again; it was a lot of loose sediment in the FV with the Galaxy IPA; and too many worries if it was actually working. Ironically I only really used it to have a change from US05; which I had been using till then. I've never tried US 04.

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I think eventually, budget allowing, I MAY for an all in one, outside my cash flow at the moment really... and I am not the most practical of people so the prospect of spending all that, not being able to use it properly and / or knackering it bothers me:laugh8:

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    yes I don't think I'll be using M44 again; it was loose sediment in the Galaxy IPA; and too many worries if it was actuall working. I only really used it to have a change from US05 which I had been using till then/ I've never tried US 04.

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I used to invert them a few times to mix the sugar in- I haven't on any of my AG beers and won't moving forward. I'll try and fill the bottles a bit fuller too see if that helps. Won't be checking if beer is fermenting so often either as a means to reduce risk- last brew I used M44 and it didn't...

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    Maybe I got 2 things mixed up then- does having the cooling wort open to oxygen darken the wort then? with an IPA I'd like to avoid that too.

    Citra / Simcoe IPA hop schedule

    I have tended to use MO and flaked barley in my ipa's and not much else- more grains including oats in the oatmeal stout which ended up horribly thin and too sweet. I think my oxidation problems are likely doing transfer, or possibly splashing when cooling wort (which I do in the sink)...
