    Kettle (isn't) Sour - Despite PH of 3

    Calling out to those who know more 💪 I love drinking face scrunchers and so decided on my first kettle sour using Lallemand Helveticus as my Lactobacillus strain. It's pretty much the only option available to me, not having anywhere near enough room for dedicated sour fermenters so I was really...

    Impy Stout Efficiency - Sparge Water

    Afternoon guys and girls I've been struggling to get above 8 percent on my Brewzilla since the efficiency plummets above 5kg of grain but in a couple of weeks have the chance to use an 80L mash tun. For the sake of comparison (and because I love big beers) I want to give another imperial a shot...

    Oaked Vanilla Milk Porter

    Hey I've just ordered some medium-roasted american oak chips since I'm yet to have tiptoed down this road and now need a recipe that suits (I like to do things the wrong way round). I've not been brewing long enough to feel comfortable putting my own recipes together but do fancy using some...

    Oats and Oxidation

    Morning all Will keep it shortish but was hopeful of some advice regards oats and to a lesser extent wheat when brewing without closed transfer or kegs. Is there a general rule of thumb regards using oats without oxygen protection? Ie, a percentage of grist bill after which oxidation become a...

    Mini Keg - Not holding pressure?

    Hey guys A few weeks ago I bought a Dark Farm 5L mini keg as below but the pressure is dropping no matter what I try. Now I'm completely new to kegging of any kind but really don't think it's user error. Black 5L Mini Keg with Premium Disconnect DOUBLE WALLED Keg - Dark Farm When asking...

    MaltMillers Giving it a Gose - Water Profile?

    Hey all Never done an all grain sour or brewed with fruit before and so thought this kit would be a fun way to dip my toes in. Episode 20 – Giving It A Gose | The Malt Miller It uses acidulated malt (20%) in the latter half of a two hour mash to get the PH down but there is no mention of what...

    Milky NEIPA Lactose Indecision

    Hey Having done my first ever all grain (Totally Tropical by James Morton - currently cold crashing) I wanted to do something similarly interesting and hoppy but different enough to feel like I'm experimenting and learning (as I'm obviously an artisan of pale ales now :rolleyes:). Don't think...

    Dry Hopping and Cold Crashing

    Afternoon all - hope a good Saturday is being had! I'm currently brewing the below kit - with the intention of it being my last 'out of a can' type job so I wanna go out with a bang - and have some queries now that it has sat in the FV for two weeks. It's the first time I have done a high...

    Stainless Steel FV Musings

    Hey all I only started my homebrew journey towards the start of the year but after doing a few Coopers and Mangrove Jack kits with my rudimentary plastic FV/heat mat/inkbird setup I have become increasingly concerned about keeping a firmer grip on the temperature now that the sun is coming out...

    A split beer enhancer kit

    Hey all Two rather uninteresting newbie questions if someone would be so kind as to fill me in. Firstly, some beer enhancer (Munstons) and one of the bags has split during transit, losing probably about 15-20 % of the contents. Can I still use this since I assume any nasties will get scared...

    Starter kit indecision. HomeBrewCompany or MaltMiller

    Evening all! I'm a big beer drinker that has long since flirted with the idea of giving my own thing a try but it's only recently that I found myself idly reading forums/articles and watching youtube videos, since which I've found myself completely absorbed and more than a little eager to dive...
