Hi everyone, I treated myself to a three tap kegerator which is a thing of great beauty. It's a mangrove jacks one with a top font with three taps. I'm now wondering how I can indicate what beer is connected to each tap. My current plan is to put a small whiteboard behind the kegerator and...

I have a lovely new log cabin home office. It's big enough that I can finally start kegging my beer. Problem is that I know next to nothing about kegging beer - can anyone recommend some reading for me to work out what equipment I need and how to use it?

Hi all, I love an IPA with a juicy hop hit, but the "classics" like citra and mosaic are really expensive at the moment. Anyone got any recommendations for cheaper alternatives I should try?

Hi all, I have an IPA in plastic bottles. After 3 days I can tell they have carbonated well as the bottles are very firm (I used kveik yeast, so everything is happening quickly!). My question is does the warm phase do anything other than simply carbonate? Should I be thinking of putting them...

Hi all, I am planning on brewing "I wanna be your dog" from DIY Dog. It's a 12% stout. The recipe does not include any recommendations on timings. I'm guessing the usual 2 + 2 + 2 will not cut it with something this large? It also has a wood chip addition My current plan is 2 weeks in...

Hello all, I have just completed my second BIAB brew day and I think I need to change the bag I use. My bag is roughly 60cm square and my boiler is roughly 36cm diameter. My problems are that when I lift the bag out the top if the boiler, the grain forms a 60cm long sausage shape dripping wort...

Hi all, I have just had a failed brew. A Tiny Rebel Cwtch kit got contaminated and needs to be thrown away. I was going to move onto all grain next, but I want to ensure I can ferment something first! At the start of the summer I bought a couple of tins of LME and was going to use those for a...

Hello, I got a end of line electric boiler from my local brew shop. It's fine, but the tap is rubbish. The hole is 1/2 inch, ideally I would like a ball valve tap to replace it. I have been googling a while, but have not found anything - I either can't see what size hole it needs or it wants...

Hi all, just bottled a Brewferm Kriek. The instructions say to leave for 14 days to carbonate, then 6-8 weeks at 10°c. My problem is I have nowhere to store at 10. I have fridge space to store around 4 or the garage that probably varies from 15 to 22 this time of year. Should I go warmer or...

Hi all, I have just started home brewing. I am starting with extract brews and kits while I get the basics together before I dive into all grain. I would like to describe my latest brew that went horribly wrong, what I suspect happened and what I might try next time to improve things - any...
