Hi guys, my disconnects seem to be hitting each other on the mini keg... any ideas?

Hi guys, This maybe a bit of a ramble as new baby is limiting my sleep at the moment. Currently reviewing my brew schedule as for the next couple of months at least, full allgrain brews are probably not going to happen. For Christmas, i am (hopefully) getting 2 growler style mini kegs (10l)...

Hi All, I keep having a reoccuring flavour in all my beers. Its not unpleasant but want to try and reduce it if possible. Having looked at all my brews (using various techniques) I can't seem to find a constant other than potentially the water profile. I live in North Essex so generally...

Ok, so i am going to start by saying, please no mention of anything else political as its not the point of this thread. This is solely focussed on the election from a beer and homebrewing point of view. @Chippy_Tea I apologise now if this is too controversial. Any thoughts on who to vote...

Hi guys, currently waiting for my 2 FVs to become available and reading lots. I have started to worry about my process and thought I would run it past you. Currently I do a form of Maxi BIAB. so I mash with a full grain bill, split the wort between 2 pans for the boil and then liquor down to...

Hi guys, Another thing on my Christmas wish list is some mini kegs as love the size and portability of them as an option for me. What I am getting confused by is the pressurising and attachments to the lid and how they actually work day to day. Would I have to have a tap per keg? or can I...

I have many frustrations with the idea of tipping. Namely why it is mainly associated in the UK with eating in restaurants. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-45707539

Hi All, so my wife has asked what I want for Christmas and having bombarded her with my dream brewery I settled on asking for a larger stock pot. At the moment I boil in 2x 6l pots Maxi BIAB style. I initially asked for a 33l stock pot with tap (assuming that my electric, hot plate style, hob...

Not sure whats allowed in terms of plugging businesses so will leave out specific names for the time being. Just thought I would share my experience of my ebay purchase for a second hand hop spider i bought recently. Having won the bidding i paid and messaged to see when i could pick it up...

Hi Guys, I have been listening to a lot of podcasts from The Brewing Network (specifically DR Homebrew). Anyone else have any good podcasts to listen to? Its nice to have something good to listen to in the car when I am driving to meetings with work.

Hi Guys, Was bottling last night whilst having a couple of beers and thought about a round the world brew. Basically adding in a hop every 10 minutes for an 80 minute boil but in an order round the world... Why? I have no idea but seemed like it might make for some interesting flavours...

Hi guys, just going through my cupboards and I have found a collection of powders and wondered if anyone had used any of the following in brews? Am I correct in thinking best to check there is no fat and also to add it post fermentation in order to maximise flavour transfer? I have...

Hi all, thought I would just put up a quick post as did my first brew day last week for almost a year. I did get an ace boiler for Christmas, however after winter in the garage, the dial seems to not be responding. I did undo the base to see if I could find any loose connections etc but...

Hi guys, picked up quite a few demijohns and now just trying to get some space back. Have 6 clear glass demijohns to anyone who wants them (or a couple of them...). Collection only from Thaxted, Essex.

Hi guys, so just planning ahead as I am getting a Ace Boiler for Christmas and with some time off between Christmas and new year would like to give it a couple of test runs. Its the first time I will be brewing larger quantities (20L) so just wanted some reassurance on the recipes...

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone on here owns a camper van? Thinking of getting a Honda Stepwagon after Christmas which can be used as a weekend camper (front seats swivel and rear seats all fold flat into a bed). Always wanted one and with the new baby holiday funds will be less than...

Hi guys, So I got a job lot of brewing stuff off ebay recently including 24 demijohns (the main reason I bid). Came with a box of odds and sods and looking through this morning this included some various brewing chemicals (pectilase, yeast nutrient etc). There was also a large bag of...

Now I voted to remain and generally quite like the EU but if they affect Doner Kebabs, they will have crossed a line... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-42238363 Another week, another EU food scare. Is the future of the humble and hugely popular doner kebab now in question? Recent...

Need some help guys, bottled the ghost ship clone yesterday, which had fermented out nicely from 1.043 down to 1.010. Now the Christmas beer has stopped at 1.023. This was using the same yeast and was stored next to the other. Normally I would be definitely thinking its a stuck ferment...

Hi guys, So with the world cup draw taking place this afternoon, The build up to Russia 2018 will be well and truly underway. England will probably be disappointing as they have in every major competition since I can remember (with the exception of 96) I am planning on doing some...
