    Foodie Flavours flavouring

    Hi folks iv got a bit stout on the go atm and intend to flavour with vanilla and hazelnut. The plan is 1 or 2 pods soaked in rum, but does anyone have any idea of the sort of dosing rate for these foodie flavours essences for the hazelnut? I'm thinking 20 drops at end of fermentation then check...

    Question for todays brewday...

    Need some help on yeast selection folks. Making a big stout.... 10% ish. And yeast wise I have the choice of either co pitching CML five and Beoir, or lobbing in a big batch if saved Wyeast Bohemian. If I use the Bohemian, it's under beer, but Do I just taste the beer to confirm the yeast...

    Online Ingredients Stores

    Post your good guys of the genre here.... I have a number of cookbooks with a number of recipes where the ingredients are tough to get, and in my experience this issue is getting worse rather than better. At one point Morrisons was a good bet for some more exotic stuff, but even they have...

    Side Mash during an AG brew

    I'm a little dissatisfied with a current brew, well actually a couple of them in terms of finish/body. And I have been thinking, historically I think I probably find it quite hard to hit and maintain a mash temperature that leaves enough unfermentable to give the beer some body at the end...

    A new **** up.....

    I seem to have managed to freeze a whole keg of lager in my fridge. Now I cold crashed it at -1, then put it in the keg and into the fridge.... The fridge is turned up to full power but I certainly never agine it would be able to freeze the keg of 5% lager.... But frozen it is. I guess the...

    Maybe one for the extract brewers...

    In my minor and very occasional experience, I cant help but notice malt extract appears really expensive.... Now perhaps Im not looking at this the correct way and actually in terms of gravity points per pound spent its comparable to grain.... But for anyone who uses an appreciable quantity of...

    Solar panels

    Hoping for some knowledge on domestic solar power. Now to start, I know the tarriffs are less favourable now than what it used to be, BUT.... The way energy prices are going, and the way the future looks, some degree of self sufficiency and future proofing cant be bad? The price cap is going...

    Cold steep or late in the mash?

    For your dark grains, in a stout or porter which do you prefer any why? I will be doing one or the other for a big stout soon, I have ordered the roasted grains and dark crystal seperately from the base grain so that I can have a go at getting a smoother flavour. Lets see what the consensus...

    Little help with stout/iterated(ish) mash.....

    I would like to brew a stout, maybe not quite Imperial levels but certainly a pretty high gravity effort. I think given I am doing BIAB, a 7 or 8 kilo grain bill in one go is out of the question. I would also like to split my grains out to add the roast grains towards the end. I guess my...

    Sour Nelson Single Hop

    I would like my next brew to be a sour. I intend using Philly Sour yeast bith becasue its an easy gateway into sourness and also wont contaminate any of my kit.... Playing with Brewfather to come up with a recipe that roughly looks like Pale Malt and Vienna to an OG of around 1.050. Possibly...

    Once a starter is made....

    Obviously the pitch calculators give an idea of the rate of decay in live cells from the date of manufacture. Is it the same once a starter has been made and fermented out? Just wondering if there is any benefit to making up your starter once liquid yeast gets delivered rather than waiting...

    Dried elderflower

    Seem to be able to find lots of reference to fresh elderflowers, and use of elder in wines etc but just wondering about the use of dried elderflower in beer. I think I have 150g of it, which is for use in a pretty standard summerly blonde ale type deal. Admiral for bittering, late additions of...

    How much lemon/lime

    Currently brewing a lemon and lime lager. Pils and munich malt, bittering with Herkules, and a small late addition of Herkules and lemon drop. I have 2 limes which I intend to chop up and add at 5 mins. No lemons as the shop had none, but I will add lemon and lime peel as a "dry" addition...
