    Pressure Fermenting

    Having carried out a fair bit of research on pressurized fermenting i thought i would try it. i brewed a citra ipa last summer at atmospheric pressure and it was really good. i have just completed the same brew fermented at 15psi and the difference is quite apparent. all brewed in identical...

    Bottom fermenting yeast

    Just a question for the experts I have brewed a peroni clone along with MJ 84 yeast Fermenting well but wondered as I am using a SS brewtech chronical is all the yeast concentrated in the bottom of the Fv in the bend and against the butterfly valve. Will this affect the ability of the yeast to...

    Stuck fermentation

    Brewed a brown ale concoction for a club comp. the fermentation stopped at 1.020 so panicked. Then thought as I have a ss brewtech chronical I could dump all the yeast into a jug. And dump back into the top. Did this and raised the temp from 19 to 21. within 2 hours it's bubbling profusely...

    Beaverdale Pinot cock up

    After Swmbo asked if I could do a wine kit I bought 2 of the above 6 bottle kits. Stupidly misread the instructions and added 9 litres of water instead of making up to 9 litres. Og was 20 points down. So with a lightbulb moment added brewing sugar to bring up to 1.075. But will it be weak...

    My brewday

    My brewday. Fuller's famous clone. Hit the OG of 1055 and 80% efficiency. Upgraded the brewolution manifold to a SS Brewtech manifold and it proved to be a good investment much better distribution of the wort over the grains. Counter flow chiller bought the temp down to 23deg with little water...

    Home brew twang

    Just tried my kegged festival stag and it has a slight metallic twang to it. Is this the definition of HBT. I have a keg of IPA that was a eb and it is absolutely sublime. This was with ashbeck water where the festival was tap water. Going to do a full ag on Tuesday so will use ashbeck. I think...

    New ag equipment

    Unpacked my new brewster last night and ran some tests. Mash tests. Stepped mash test and boil. All worked fine. I felt that the clear pipework got too soft when at mash test so changed it for some jg speedfit barrier pipe. Put more holes in the ring than the original and all worked well. Also...

    Booked a tour to Adnams brewery next sat. Me thinks they will get fed up with me asking all sorts of questions about their process. Still it should be interesting.

    Adnams dry hopped lager

    Just had a result. 2 kegs of Adnams lager £20. Short shelf life. Bury st Edmunds if anybody lives close. And reusable kegs once quaffed. Can't be bad.

    New man cave

    Managed to clear part of the garage and form a man cave for beer and brewing. Just a sink to add in the worktop and get my ag kit and I will be away! Sorry it's sideways, can't seem to rotate.

    Wherry

    I have just found an old wherry kit. Expiry end 2014. What can I do with it. I assume the cans are ok but not the yeast. Could I incorporate into another recipie or just brew as is with new yeast. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Yeast temp fluctuations

    What is an acceptable fluctuation in temp for yeast without causing problems. Are some yeasts more tolerant than others?

    Should I buy a grainfather

    Been looking into AG brewing and want to do it properly after brewing kits many years ago that were awful. Have invested already in the 7 gal ss brewtech brewmaster and maxicool 110 and have the temp control +/- .5 degree so removed the temp issue variable. The beer kits brewed are pretty good...
