Reading some posts got me thinking, rare I know, but on occasion I do it. I am developing some habits, some bad possibly of making assumptions, like not checking gravity until 10 days ish and then doing a comparison a day or so later and cold crashing. I have read that extra time beyond the...

With Christmas around the corner I thought this may be a handy calculator 👍

Having a busy brewday with a Turbo cider, a lager and an ale on the go and multitasking I managed to tip the Mangrove Jacks M54 lager yeast into the cider FV, when I realised I have added the correct yeast as well so we will see how it turns out 😂

After my quadruple brewday, it got me thinking how much difference does a 90 minute boil for a stout make verses a shorter boil, same with the standard 60 minute boil and I have seen people mention 30 and even 15 minute boils. Over multiple batches it adds up to quite a saving if you take it to...

I have 14 brand new 5L mini kegs, cost me £160 sensible offers considered, collection possible from South Wales or I am happy to arrange postage at your cost as they are still in the boxes as received. I am going to Glastonbury tomorrow 2nd September if anyone wants to meet along the way.

Does anyone have a guide to calculate how much sugar I have added by putting summer fruits into the FV? Our freezer packed in, so I put 500g of black forest fruits 400g blueberries 500g strawberries The OG 1043 so I was expecting a 4% ish easy drinker, but it's come out at 5.9% and doesn't...

Anyone had a go at cloning this? Something I particularly enjoy everytime I pop to the George in Glastonbury 😉

I am thinking of getting a 310 type beer chiller and was wondering whether it would be CO2 or Nitro/mix that I would need to serve. I am planning to have pub kegs of cider and lager as well so need mix gas for those, once my beer is carbed and conditioned I was guessing I could serve with the...

I brewed Geterbrewed London Porter AG kit recently and it's disgusting, sickly sweet. I have brewed this several times with stunning results, but this one finished at 1020, despite, shaking, raising the temp and waiting an extra week so I kegged it a month ago, it also has zero carbonation...

Has anyone tried serving beer from a party tap whilst away from home for several days? I am hoping chilling before we leave then immersing the kegs in a water bath will be adequate, not sure what the groundwater temperature for the tap water will be, but hoping it's adequate for cooling.

I bought a Carbonation cap, wrongly thinking it would screw into my intertap to aid bottling off the keg, but it has a a male coupler with a seal on it, any suggestions. I am sure I saw a video with someone bottling straight off the tap with something like this.

I have serched and read loads about efficiency and come across another term brewhouse efficiency and in an effort to improve mine, instead of enlightening myself I am getting more confused. In essence I have brewed all grain kits on an all in one machine, Klarstein, which developed some faults...

Well I have been on here a few years, read a load of information back then and decided to jump straight into AG, bought second hand kit, then banned from using the house Lol Have now had the time to organise a dedicated brew area and got the first three brews on the weekend, an Irish Stout, an...

Ok, so I am green as grass with brewing and I have been searching the forum and the net trying to find a supplier for all grain Chocolate Porter kits. Am I being a numpty, do you have to buy all the different components separately or is there a supplier for crushed grain kits? I enjoy a...

Has anyone got a wiring diagram for the Ace/Klarstein micro brewery unit? The PCB control switch has broken on mine, going to look on ebay for a replacement, but was going to work out if I can link it out in the short term? Also looking for a link to a replacement, surprisingly my searches are...
