Interesting article about the science of dry hopping: https://beerandbrewing.com/rethinking-bitterness-in-dry-hopped-hazy-beers/ The most surprising points for me, were that dry hopping does increase the IBU of beer and it can increase attenuation.

This is my first lager (it's on the boil as I type), and I elected to go for Greg Hughes' Mexican Cerveza recipe...however there's been a couple of differences...due to GetErBrewed not stocking Crystal hops (I researched similar hops and I found that Hallertauer Mittlefruh can replace them) and...

My wife has been very kind this year and has bought my a beer advent calendar from Beer Hawk; including 24 different craft beers, two glasses and a bottle opener. I thought it would be a good idea to review each of them on here. I'll start tonight when I get home...where I have a Saison...

I don't have the facilities to do a 23l AG brew but I'm on the verge of running out of beer after doing several 10l batches. It wouldn't be feasible for me to invest in larger equipment at this point. However, I'm sure I've read on here that Myqul does a super concentrate brewing technique...

One of my favourite beers is Anchor Porter and I've been scouring the internet for a recipe and found this one: https://beerrecipes.org/Recipe/2947/anchor-porter-clone.html It's an American recipe for a 10 US Gallon brew. The weird thing is, it says on the link that to add the hops for 90...

So I was in Morrisons yesterday and saw the above deal on their craft beer selection. I decided to get: Brewdog's Pumpkin King 5.5% Robinson's Limited edition Red and Black Porter (in collaboration with the band, Iron Maiden) 6.8% Marshall's Rock and Roll Craft Beer Blonde Ale 6%...

I've been playing about with a recipe, using Brewer's Friend. It's the first time I've ever created my own and was hoping to see what the more experienced brewers thought: Name: Show me the way to a Galaxy Far Far Away Style: American IPA Brew Method: BIAB Target OG: 1.057 Target FG: 1.009...

Last night I brewed my fourth BIAB using Greg Hughes' Witbier recipe. However, my intended volume was 10L rather than 23L; so to work out the quantity of ingredients, I divided by 23 then multiplied by 10. Target OG: 1.044 Measured OG: 1.041 Target FG: 1.011 Target ABV: 4.5% Boil Volume...

As the name suggests, I'm in the process of brewing GetErBrewed's Raspberry Wheat Beer. It's boiling now...I'm not what the grain bill is because it doesn't say. Volume: 5 litres Hop Additions: 3g Styrian Goldings (60 minutes) 9g Styrian Goldings (5 minutes) Additional items...

On the 17th September, me and some people from my company are doing the Yorkshire three peak challenge (see second link) and are raising money for Francis House (the Children's Hospice), an amazing cause. If you could donate anything, it would be greatly appreciated... This is the link for the...

I'm brewing this beer on Friday night: http://www.geterbrewed.com/stove-top-ingredient-kit-raspberry-wheat-beer/ It says to add 200g of fresh raspberries for the last 10 minutes of the boil. Would you recommend to add the raspberries whole, or a bit mashed up? Thanks in advance.

I ordered this wort chiller, which arrived today: http://www.geterbrewed.com/copper-wort-chiller-for-10-litre-batches/ I need to know which fixings, plastic pipe I need to make it work. If people could link me up, I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Pope

Right then, I've managed to acquire three 5 litre Demijohns from a colleague, which I plan to use for my brews...because I'm going to be doing small batch All Grain brews from now on. However, as the thread title suggests...how do people take readings of their brews when they're in DJ's? Up...

I've read a lot on here about efficiency and I think I've got an understanding of what it means...the higher the efficiency, the more potential sugars have been extracted from the malt and therefore a greater potential ABV. However, I've been wondered how to calculate the efficiency, i.e...

Is there a thread on here which helps to define brewing terms for newbies, in laymen terms. I've been looking through some of the all grain recipes and methods but there's always a few words with I'm not sure about or what the purpose of that process is. For the record the terms that I can...

I bought the Wilkos bottle capping tool when I started brewing last month. Yesterday, halfway through my second bottling session it stopped working completely. The first ever bottle worked perfectly, but after that it got steadily worse; from needing 4 or 5 attempts per bottle to get on...

I've been wondering over the last few days how we come to the conclusion that a beer is a certain style; such as a lager, IPA, Amber Ale, Red Ale, Pale Ale, Mild, Bitter, etc. It came about because a mate who loves traditional "real ales", says that the craft IPA's and Porters I enjoy are not...
