So I've brewed a few 'hazy IPAs', most have wheat and oats in the grain bill. Still, after a cold crash in the FV and then a couple weeks in the bottle or keg they are looking pretty clear. One I did a while back was 'Conflux' which was kinda hazy in the keg on week 3 after transfer when I...

I brewed 'Conflux' and just opened a bottle after 2 weeks conditioning (a little short, I know). https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/unity-brewing-co-conflux-pale-ale-includes-2-cans-of-beer/ It tastes and smells great :) This beer has about 200g of dry hop pellets in a 20L batch which I...

So I do my beers with a mesh bag that sits inside an electric tea urn. To ensure the bag does not sit directly on top of the heating element I use a foldable colander / steamer thing. I got a new one and I've just noticed that after brewing and going through the washing machine the legs do not...

How long do you wait from pitching yeast in wort to transfer to bottle or keg for conditioning? I'm particularly interested in IPA styles. I ask because I think I might be rushing it. I usually wait about 1 week and I find that gravity has stopped gown down around the 1012 or 1014 mark. I'll...

No joke, if you want, I'll PayPal you the money to buy a couple of this beer. It's £1 at Lidl. I purchased this beer a few days ago and I was immediately struck by the aroma and taste which is very similar to the result I have got when trying to brew IPA! I would describe the aroma as slightly...

Fellow member Alastair sent me a bottle of his cream ale last year and I'd like to try reproducing it (scaled up to 20L). He gave me the recipe attached. I'm on The Malt Miller website now but I'm not sure if I'm getting the correct malts? I'm asking here because I'm sure some of you can also...

Hi all, Many times after fermenting a beer in my pressure barrel I find a silver metallic residue on the bottom of the (brass?) pressure valve in the middle of the lid. I don't believe this is a problem; presumably just a result of condensation forming there because the metal is cool...

I pitched a 'lager' brew in my plastic pressure barrel on Sunday evening 9pm at OG1044 but got 1012 only 42 hours later. Seems unusual! Simpsons Finest Lager Malt 4.5Kg Weyerman Carapils 0.25kg 30g Citra 10mins 70g Citra 75C 20mins hop-stand OG 1044. Pitched 1 sachet of MJ Bohemian Lager...

I've realised that many of my past beers have been hindered by oxygen at some point, even though many were quite drinkable. So I'm on a bit of a quest to be rid of the damn stuff! To this end I have attempted to make a device which allows me to dry hop without opening the fermenter. I use a...

I'm fermenting this Kveik NEIPA https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/brewboard-whc-tmm-colab-majorvane-neipa/ Started at 35C. It's now 6 days in and still at 1020-1022. I put in the dry hops 3 days ago dropped to 32C. 2 days ago I added 2 tsp of yeast nutrient but it doesn't seem to have...

Today I brewed a new to me recipe - Brewboard/WHC/TMM Colab – Majorvane – NEIPA The grain bill is: 1710g Simpsons Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise 1040g Crisp CaraGold Malt 460g Crisp Dextrin Malt 750g Crisp Naked Oat Malt 760g Crisp Torrified Wheat 4720g total The recipe says OG should be...

This is a detailed description of my brewing method and I would appreciate any tip on what I might be able to improve! Mash grain in nylon bag. Electric kettle with digital temp controller, plate on the bottom to keep bag off the heater. Usually 60 mins at ~65C. Water from the tap, no...

I have a DIY copper immersion wort chiller. I don't like the fact that it comes out of the wort looking cleaner (slightly pink) than it went in. Anybody convince me why it's okay and I shouldn't waste money on a stainless one?

Hi All, I've been brewing for a couple years now and made some rather nice stout, lager and recently a fruity kveik (neipa I guess). HOWEVER I always have this taste in my IPA (aiming at punk IPA, neck oil, etc) and I don't know what causes it or even how to describe it accurately. It's not bad...

Hi everyone, I used to use a pure CO2 gas bottle with my corny kegs, but I now have a 'beer gas' bottle which is 60% CO2 and 40% Nitrogen. I'm just not getting the fizz, despite having the keg at 3.5C and pressure at 30PSI which this chart says should give me 2.6 volumes CO2...

I want to buy another grain bag but I can't find where I got it :confused.: It has a steel ring around the top that keeps it open while hanging and makes it easy to sparge. Can anyone help me find where to buy another?? I did buy it after a recommendation from a user here. Thanks! Simon

I would like to brew tomorrow but I have only got 1.6Kg of pilsner base malt :( I do have about 1Kg each of: Carapils Caramalt Crystal Light Flaked Malted Oats Malted Wheat WWYD (what would you do) to make up about a 3Kg grain bill? I have lots of hops: Cashmere, Cascade, Nelson, Amarillo...

I bought these taps from eBay about 1 year ago. Practically they work great - easy to use and easy to clean. However after less than 6 months I started to see plating disappear. I don't know if it affects flavour but it the plating must have gone somewhere and I'm not sure if the base metal is...

I was watching this Genus Brewing video yesterday. It has some really great advice, even if you have been brewing for a while! Genus Brewing - Bad Beer Fixed 00:10 - Water Chemistry 01:49 - Fermentation Temperature 03:43 - Crystal Malt 05:11 - Sediment in Fermenter 06:19 - Hops in IPA's 07:47...

I want to make a dry hopped lager. However, I notice most dry hop larger recipes on the net do not seem to use 'lager' hops at all. Most just use Cascade, Citra etc.. typical hops used in late and dry hopping but not typical of lager. I imagined they'd be using a lager hop like Hallertau or...
