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...

Hi everyone I am brewing a porter for my next small batch BIAB AG attempt; but I also have ingredients on the way for a Citra / Simcoe based IPA, as I love Citra and have never brewed with Simcoe, so trying to do some planning ahead. My recipe is loosely based on the GH American IPA so I know...

Hi all Working from home has enabled me to find the time to read through the famous Greg Hughes book and now I use AG; there's a few recipes I want to try. The first one will likely be the American Pale Ale. I have noticed the recipe does not call for any dry hopping. Really I know I should...

Morning all I bottled my latest effort (Galaxy PA) this morning, AG number 4. I did this one a little differently in that I both fined it in the kettle (irish moss) and cold crashed it for about 2.5 days in total. Yeast was M44. I could see that there was going to be a large amount of sediment...

Hi all I'm considering investing in a 10L jerry can to try proper no chill brewing. A suggestion has been made that with one of these, I can put the cube in my brew fridge to try and get a good cold break and hopefully lead to clearer beer. My brew kettle is a 15L stockpot- no tap. So it may be...

Hi all After some advice / reassurance. I brewed up a a 12L batch of a Galaxy based IPA on Sunday, BIAB. Popped it into fermenting fridge, Inkbird 308 set to 19c with 0.5 differential for heating / cooling, after pitching M44 at 22.9c. I knew of the main downside of this yeast when I chose...

Hi all I have a galaxy IPA to brew next but I am trying to plan ahead for future brews with some time on my hands. I used to exclusively drink dark beers and so would like a go at a porter, the only one I have ever done was the Festival Kit which was okay but very early in my brewing. I have...

Hi all very quick question; I'm new to AG and bottled a Citra / Cascade BIAB IPA 15 days ago. It has been sat in the cupboard to carbonate at 20c and that seems to have gone well, all bottles firmed up well. My plan is to move into garage for a week and then maybe try a bottle- does 3 weeks in...

Hi all I'm considering a Galaxy SmASH BIAB for my next brew as I have never used the hop but know I like it after having it in some commercial brews. Therefore after some help. I've come up with the following malt bill and hop schedule for starters... 2.6 kg Crisp Malting - Extra Pale...

Hi folks I'm going to have a stab at a hoppy IPA next after an Oatmeal Stout bottled in November continues to be rank. Recipe below. Method: BIAB Batch Size: 10L (ish) OG: 1.053 SG: 1.010 IBU: 57.04 ABV: 5.67 Strike Water: 7L Tesco Ashbeck Sparge Water: 7L Tesco Ashbeck Grain bill: 2.5 kg...

Hi all I tried a bottle (well 2, I snuck another in) of my first AG stout last night which has been in the bottle since 4th November. Conditioned in warm for 2 and half weeks then in garage. The sample I took was promising but the bottled product were both very underwhelming- not foul, but just...

Hiya guys I am getting a fridge to use as a fermentation chamber in a couple of weeks time. Received my tubular heater via Amazon Prime yesterday, it is a Dimplex ECOT1FT. I was planning to keep things neat by running cables for the heater and the inkbird probe through the drain hole, but the...

Hi all With surprisingly little nagging; swmbo has agreed to let me get a fridge to ferment my brews inacheers.. I'll be getting a brand new one rather than checking freecycle etc as they are relatively inexpensive, and she is funny about second hand stuff. I already have an Inkbird ITC 308-S...

Hi all I am thinking about my 3rd go at BIAB; and was thinking about doing a late hopped citra / galaxy combo IPA, the recipe idea was kindly suggested by @matt76 , his hop bursted "Podium Ipa". My original recipe idea is here...

Hi all, I have just completed my second BIAB brew, an oatmeal stout. Recipe and method I followed is here... https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/844423/biab-stout Seemed to go well other than my mash temp dropped a bit lower than I planned (mashed in at 66c not 68 and it was...

Hi all After some back and forth and researching a few different recipes; I have ordered the ingredients for an oatmeal stout to brew either this weekend or next. It will be my second BIAB attempt. Recipe and method is here: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/844423/biab-stout...

Hi guys I have lost patience with waiting, and started trying my first all grain (BIAB) beer. It has been bottled for just over 4 weeks. It’s a basic Citra beer with 89% Maris Otter and 11% light crystal malt ( 2kg MO and 225g crystal to be exact). Whilst I wasn't expecting much for a first...

Hiya I have just started BIAB (one down so far). One of the issues I noted with the first brew was how long the "cooling in a sink" method took so I have been looking at immersion chillers this morning. Would one like this be suitable for a 15L stockpot (and approx 10L of post boil wort?)...

Hi all I have just bottled my first all grain beer (BIAB) and am now planning Brew 2. I am torn between another IPA with a Citra Galaxy hop combo as I have both hops, and a relatively simple stout for the winter. One thing which interests me is the cold steeping of grains for a smoother flavour...

Hi guys I have my first BIAB Citra IPA 12 days into fermentation; now thinking of my next brew. I have some citra left over and some unopened Galaxy, and being a fan of that hop combo in some commercial beers, I thought I'd give one a go. It would again be a 10l batch BIAB, using a 15L stock...
