    Fupped up brew - what to do?

    Hi all! Long story short; I mashed at too high a temperature and my Bells 2 Hearted has finished at 1.020 instead of 1.014 (so sweeter and about 1.5% lower ABV) Hey ho, nothing I can do about that now. My question for you lovely lot is: would you a) use 100g of lovely centennial as the dry hop...

    Yeast pitching question

    Hi All, I'm using Brewfather to put together a 25L (because I no-chill in a 25L cube) Proper Job inspired English IPA sort of recipe. The OG is 1.059, FG 1.014.

    AIPA recipe feedback plz!

    Hi all, This is my 2nd AG attempt (first one was pretty good) so am looking for any feedback please! (NB I'm a no-chill brewer, so for the hop additions, 60 mins will become 40 mins and all the other additions will be done with a 10L mini boil the following morning.) This recipe is based...

    The dreaded acetaldehyde question.

    Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of reassurance (or alternatively a "nope, too late: bin it!") I bottled a batch of Maltmiller Mysterios SNPA yesterday and the smell was pretty cidery / sharp. So I'm worried that it's the dreaded acetaldehyde and all 23L is worthless! FWIW all the gravity samples...

    No chill late hop additions - possible solution?

    Hi all, I'm going to do my first *no-chill* BIAB brew (23L) soon and want a reliable strategy for late addition hops. So this is the "chill" addition schedule from my recipe: • Northern Brewer 6.4%AA 30g 60min ibu: 23.04 • Cascade 5.9%AA 30g 10 min ibu: 13.82 • Cascade 5.9%AA 70g 1min ibu...

    Brew kettle/stock pot contamination?

    Hi all, Had a little bit of an accident; a bottle of no-rinse sanitiser (not sure what type) broke and spilled in my stainless steel brew kettle/stock pot and sort of corroded it. I've rinsed, scrubbed & boiled a ton of water in it. Question is, has it become irretrievably contaminated...
