over enthusiastic cleaning last brew day I managed to lose an o-ring from the tap on the pico boiler, the tap always bugged me as the tap outlet was close to the body of the boiler, which meant I had to have quite an overhang off the worktop for it to pour into an fv nicely, good time for an...

..hops, I've done a couple of single hop pales recently, building up some flavour profiles to help gain some knowledge. I'll be picking up my next grain bill tomorrow and plan to brew a BIAB single hop with these. 4700g Maris Otter 235g Caramalt 200g Torrified Wheat Summit hop... 8g @60min...

this'll be BIAB #4 for me, first three have been recipe packs and a couple are bottled and conditioning and awaiting taste testing and my latest is currently dry hopping. for the next batch i wanted to have a play myself so will be trying this...

fancy giving this a shot for my next (No4) BIAB brew, I've had my first little play on brewersfriend and ended up with this http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/424332/sixpoint-resin-clone does it check out ok ? what in your opinion should I change or does it sound about right...

got it on the go atm, nice to have some time to myself and enjoy the brew. looking forward to this one :grin: all tucked up now for an hour before I give it a stir and temp check, looking forward to the arrival of the inkbird digital thermometer as I can monitor it whilst indoors (and yes...

red grape juice and lidl multivitamin juice, kinda like a lava lamp atm, my kids love watching it, happens with anything raspberry too :lol: always a lively start but it settles down and produces a nice clear glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBvw6LnOWTs

was included in the kit bought from geterbrewed, it fits a treat real nice snug fit, but it does move in the boil, it tends to drop down at an angle leaving a small gap enough for it to let a fair bit of debris through ! so I knocked up a spider using an old aluminium pot, I cut the...

just received the Belgian Blonde ag kit from the Malt Miller, ingredients look great, looking forward to brew day ! As it's only my second BIAB I'm after some guidance with mash temp and volume as it has no details included. Going on the product information I know I need to boil for 90min and...

went for a Belfast Blonde from Geterbrewed as I got a freebie when I ordered their BIAB kit :grin: seems to have gone to plan so far, mid boil atm so having a cold one and a sit down for a minute ! old numpty here used scissors to open the vacuum bag of 60min hops not realising inside was a...

fancy a dabble at biab so I'm thinking of ordering a biab kit from geterbrewed which comes with a free mash kit, looked at a few but I'm unsure which free ones I'm entitled to, the one I spent an age choosing added another 23 quid to my bill! does anyone know what ones are the freebies ?

Evening all, I've had a really fast ferment on a Coopers wheat beer kit with my now standard wb-06 yeast that I like to use with wheats, it's been at 1.004 for a couple of days now so this morning I thought I'd have a go at bottling this evening straight from fv1 bypassing the secondary (which...

was hoping to bottle up an ipa I have dry hopping in a secondary tomorrow, but I've just realised I've only 2 buckets and both have brews in them, so I'll have to add sugar straight to the bottles, I am being a real lazy git by asking you lot instead of looking for the answer myself :lol: going...

got an ipa going yesterday morning and used a wyeast 1056 smack pack, its been in the fridge happily bubbling away but i've just realised I hadn't changed the temperature from my last brew which was set at 20deg, reading the blurb on this yeast it seems it will give a cleaner more citrus taste...

drawing of a sample of wheat beer from my fv this morning to test the gravity as it's nearly done and I noticed a drip from the tap, without really thinking I twisted it, I suppose in an effort to stop the drip but made it worse ( why do I have to fiddle with things !!) had to do an emergency...

the missus has gone away today & taken the lad too, got a whole day to myself :lol: oddly coincides with a fv of Tarwebier ready to bottle and I have a coopers wheat ready to get on with too happy days :grin:

thought I'd introduce myself to you all, following a trip to see my brother (who lives out in Holland) last year and seeing his single handed attempt to out brew every one in Eindhoven, my interest in homebrewing has been rekindled ! I currently have a Brewferm Tarwebier in a fv ( brewed to...
