    Beersmith and batch sparge help

    Can anyone help, its my first AG brew using a mash tun and I've programmed it into beer smith (first time using software) and reduced the quantity so I end up with 19L to fill a keg. Do the numbers look about right ? I was surprised that the sparge uses more water than the initial mash. To...

    GH's - American Wheat Beer and kegging

    Thinking of making this up as a 9L, it calls for 43g of Citra but other have said it could do with a bit more hoppyness so was going to put in 50g of Amarillo ? Main question is the book calls for 3 weeks conditioning at 12 degrees, I assume this is for bottle. This might be the first beer I...

    My First AG Mysterio's SNPA

    Well it was my first AG and I learnt a lot, not sure how it will turn out but my OG looked about right. Only issue was I decided to split it in to two demi johns as I didnt have room in the fridge for my 23L bucket with beer already carbing. First one I filled was lovely and clear, second one...

    Ball valve vs Syphon

    About to order a 50L S/S pot and i'm trying to decide weather or not to get the 3 piece ball valve or to just leave the pot completely clear and use my auto syphon ? Do I need the valve ? it just seems like more cleaning along with a required filter, where as with the syphon I'm worried...
