Just by chance I have a coffee stout that's ready to keg and one of my kegs has just ran out that had a coffee porter in. Now this might cause an argument with the sanitation police but is there any real harm in kegging my stout straight into this keg without cleaning the keg with oxi and then...

I ordered the grain for two brews last October but due to life getting in the way I have only been able to brew one of the beers. My question is, will the grain for my 2nd beer be okay to use 5 months after receiving it? I have kept it indoors in the dry, in a room that would have stayed...

I’m cleaning out my kegs and beer line and I’ve noticed that one of the beer lines has this black stuff inside the line and when I was pulling through the water it has deposited this black residue into the glass with the water. I’ve bought the kegerator and beer lines 2nd hand so it’s from the...

I've got a recipe for an IPA which calls for Crystal malt 40 Lovibond which I think is about 78EBC? Anyway I'm in the process of seeing how much all the ingredients will cost me on Get'er Brewed and I'm not sure what to select as the crystal malt. There's Crisp Light Crystal but that has an EBC...

I’m firing up my 50l Brew Devil for the first time on Saturday and want to give it a good clean before hand. I’m just wondering what everyone uses to clean their systems with? I’ve got some Chemi Pro caustic which is caustic soda and active chlorine but I’m not sure if this is suitable for...

I've just ordered 2 lots of the AG recipe for the Black Forest porter from CAMRA's Essential Home Brewing book which I plan to brew together on my 50L brew devil. From reading the recipe in the book, the grain bill should come to around 9.5KG, would it be a good idea to add in some rice hulls...

Can anyone tell me if it’s worth getting the 50L version of the above all-in-one systems if you’re mostly gonna brew 23L batches of beer? I’ve noticed the price to go up from the 30L to the 50L version is about £50 one some versions so should I just get bigger or is there going to be any draw...

I woke up this morning and just before I was leaving for work I checked my beer I brewed on Saturday. As I rushing for work I changed my frozen bottles over and used some kitchen towel to wipe the overflow from the lid but I didn’t have time to change the airlock so I just left it alone...
