Thanks for all the advice, My mash was 60 mins at 65C with a 10 minute spell at 75 C to finish off. -I probably didn’t agitate enough or sparged too quickly. Yeast is a WLP4040 Midwestern ale yeast... Quite glad of the extra time to get my bottles ready !

Hi Folks, Thanks for all the replies, I’m more than happy to let it do its thing, I was just worried that, if it’s current rate of attack is to be believed, it might horribly overshoot it’s target FG. I like that the tilt lets you track without having to open up the fv but will check the...

Thanks Horners, The fermentation isn’t stuck, it’s hammering along at breakneck speed, it’s reading 1.019 this morning after 2 1/2 days. I suppose I’ll leave it running and see where it goes. -and will double check with a traditional hydrometer. Thanks again Bob

Thanks for that, Just wonder though, if the final gravity winds up very different from 1.015, will it have a big effect on the flavour ? Also, while it may level off and I could be worrying unnecessarily, the recipe suggested a 10-day fermentation At 20-22C, my batch seems to be progressing...

Hi there, I’m in the process of my first ‘run’ and I have a question about when to stop fermentation... I’m doing an all-grain brew and the recipe had a target OG of 1.059 with 21 L and a final gravity of 1.015. I fell short of the target OG with 1.044 and 19 L and the wort is currently...

Thanks Mungri, I'll look into that I was already thinking along the lines of a jubilee clip or cable tie for the filter but then I wondered whether the filter is actually any good for pelleted hops. When added the hops created a real sludgy slurry which i think could possibly pass through the...

Well.... it was all going great.... right up until the point (at the start of the boil) where I knocked the pump filter loose. Long story short, when I tried to run it through the chiller, the blooming thing clogged -one lost mash :( Still, many lessons learned ! One question I did have...

Thanks so much, that's a real help ! Will report back as to how it goes Bob

Hi there, Total newb to this and about to trepeditiously take my first steps and run my first brew using a recipe from the Malt Miller for a Bells Oberon clone. I have done some research but the way the recipe is presented, I'm not entirely sure what it's asking and I have a couple of...
