Not sure if I've got this in the correct subject and hopefully someone from Admin will sort it. I've been asked by one of my auld bro's about checking ABV on a bottle of rum Whilst trying to explain to him that we can only know beer ABV from knowing OG and FG, my thinking is its probably...

Presently I have an one brewing system which is rated as 65l and it's easy to push it to 70l with a boil, though I'm brewing raw ale now and volume is not an issue. I always adjust recipes to achieve the OG and the ABV so this part is not an issue. I'm pressure fermenting with a 60l ferm and...

Following the success of my first German pils lager, I was planning to do more lager with Vienna malt. Unfortunately my bar is only setup for hand pull's, I had intended to fit a few taps for lager and keg beer but this is on hold at the moment as is the new shed/brewery. So I'm planning to do...

I've searched on here and Google and not got answers so looking for opinions I've just acquired 2 x 5kg of T90 hops, cascade and admiral, foil bags but not vacuum packed. When I open these in next day or so I intend to vacuum pack into lot's of 150g packs, it's a mixed opinion about freezing or...

Bear with me I'm not sure if I dreamt this or if it's something I found googling whilst sampling my brews. Basically to keep the beer line cool the line was in a sealed tube with a small fan blowing cold air from the keezer/cellar. After thinking wow what a great idea I've been thinking about...

I've been doing raw brewing for a few brews now and still learning. Recently I acquired a pressure FV after successfully brewing a lager type under pressure in corny kegs, so 1st raw brew under pressure FV. As always I changed my mind a bit on the recipe and made a few adjustments for the brew...

After a successful brew of my first lager, we demolished a keg on a camping trip and my friend whom I'd specifically brewed it for suggested I do more and install a faucet tap in my bar as presently I only have ale pumps. The phone signal was poor and I didn't go on FB until after we returned...

After lot's of research and a request from a friend I finally decided to brew a lager and pressure ferment in Kegs. I have a 65l and a 45l all in one brewer, normally I brew in the 65 and use 45 for sparging, however for this day rolls reversed. The brew is a basic German pilsner at 4.2% similar...

Having never ever brewed a lager or done a pressure fermentation, I'm looking for advice I've been googling, YouTube, FB aka social media etc to educate myself and my head is pickled Whilst I found lots of recipes and techniques, lot's of questions remain Ideally I'd just like to brew a small...

I concentrate my brewing on session light hoppy type pale ales, so experimenting with different types of alternative hop additives, presently my only success is with the Isohop for bittering which eventually has changed my brewing process. Now I brew raw ale type as bittering hop oil is added...

Sorry if this comes across as a bit long winded, but it's difficult to explain hopefully you'll all understand. Previously I have dispensed from 20l polypin ale bags via a beer engine basically serving as cask ale, stop fermentation about 1.010 no fining or priming, this works very well for my...
