    Not sure what to call it.

    Hi all, my first brew back after a bit of time off. I put together this: It started out at 18ltrs at 1.085, I now have 3 demijohns full as I racked off the wort into secondary, and a little spare in original FV which might go into a couple of 500ml bottles. I pitched two packs of MJ Liberty...

    Big Beer Fermentation

    I've recently put together and AG old ale and it's a few days in the beer fridge fermenting at 20c. Starting gravity was 1.082 so I'm expecting it to come out at around 9.4% abv. I recently read that big abv ales should be left for about a month to finish fermenting as there is a risk that...

    Back to brewing

    Hi All, It's been a while since I've last posted, new job, new house and a bit more free time now. Anyhow, thought I'd get stuck in to brewing again with an AG Barley/Porter hybrid which should be good for Christmas 2021. Simple recipe, with pale, chocolate, crystal, scraps of torrified wheat...

    Campden tablet addition

    I've noticed a few people add campden tabs to the sparge water. I use good old Cornish tap water, so would there be any benefit to be gained by adding campden to the water?

    Tarmac cyclist

    On the morning run today I had two cyclists on separate occasions and locations jump red lights. I'm starting to see a lot of this and it's only a matter of time before one of these numpties comes unstuck and get integrated in the tarmac. Apart from causing danger to themselves or other road...

    Grundy (G style) keg for reuse

    I mentioned way back that I've come in to ownership (legally) of a few kegs when my wife took over a restaurant. We got rid of the pile of kegs out back, by leaving them out for the dray that delivers to the pub next door, but no one would take the little 30ltr keg. So I'm going try to use it in...

    Robinsons Old Tom clone

    Reboil?

    I made a milk stout last Sunday, and left it in the boil kettle to cool down. I was called away and have been busy all week, so when I get to the Kettle the wort will have been sitting it it for a week. It's been covered all week so I'm wondering if it will be safe to decant to the FV, or I...

    60/40 gas for milk stout

    I've just put on a milk stout and I'm thinking of dropping into the Corny keg when ready. I have C02 on the generator at the mo, but I also have a bottle or two of 60/40. Has anyone used this mix for stouts?

    English Old Ale..with a Twist

    Managed to squeeze in a brew day and now have 21 ltrs of Old Ale in the fermenter. I was aiming for 8% final, however the efficiency looks to be only 55%, so now have an OG of 1.066 so should come out about 7.1, not too fussed though. I think next time I’ll add a kilo of DME to try and...
