    Spunding Valve mount 3D Print Kegland

    I had some downtime today so I made a backplate for the kegland spunding valve. In its stock form, it sort of flaps around and that was annoying me. It's secured with tie wraps bit you could bolt up the main valve if you wanted to. I made sure to rotate it just past the top dead centre so...

    Anyone used fresh home grown hops?

It had some math for working out the IBU of the...

    Forced carbonation - is there a trick to this?

    no issues here, I have been buying there for a while, well set up with a proper sales office always got the gas I need in stock. I would say don't park on the street, go into the yard and double park in front of the sales office which is on the left as you go in.

    What's your Christmas brew?

    Hi All, I'm wondering what people have planned for a Christmas tipple? I went for Witbier this year; the thinking was that orange and coriander would add a festive edge. I'm keeping the spice in the background though. I'm sure there are some amazing Christmas pud Stouts being brewed out there??

    Robobrew and Grainfather false bottom

    I find a site glass really help, you can see if the liquid is rising or falling in the bottom on the unit and thus you know if you should slow down or speed up recirculation.

    Stepping Fermentation temperatures in FV

    I think the variety of answer and approach to this show that it's really a matter of preference. If you want the impact of the yeast to be minimal ferment at the bottom end, mid to high if you want more impact. @PhilBrew list is a great starting point. Do experiment though, I will give you an...

    Forced carbonation - is there a trick to this?

    this helped things along for me, also consider turbulence in the lines and taps, this can knock the carbonation on the pour.

    The club night was one of the highlights! Met a few guys from the Reading club and tried a few of their beer (which were great). Also a cracking chocolate-vanilla porter from the east midlands club!!

    Brew devil set up & test

    I use bags quiet a lot at the moment, I also like to pump the wort through them during the colling process and that help take a lot of the larger lumps out of the wort. Becuase of this I don't use either pump filer or hop spider anymore.
