    School opening. [poll]

    Teacher here in a secondary school. It will be impossible to maintain social distancing. A friend of mine who teaches in China has told me that they have recently gone back and the pupils are finding it hard to social distance. My class room could not be modified properly anyway. Besides I am...

    Growlers kegs etc

    Yea. It is defo the more economical solution. Just as an FYI, prices may have changed, my 5l keg, spear lid, gas reg and flow control tap set me back about £110 two years ago.

    Growlers kegs etc

    The thing is, for the price full size corny kegs are much better value. The 16g co2 bulbs are ok, but expensive. I usually carbonate them with sugar and use the co2 bulbs when there isn't enough pressure left. You will also want a flow control tap if connecting straight to the keg.

    What are you missing because of the lock down?

    The gym and my local board game cafe!

    Growlers kegs etc

    I have a couple. They are good imo. I will often fill one and bottle the rest. That way if I am at an event I can take it with me. The only downside is all the parts are expensive. Two 5l with the right tops can really set you back a bit.

    Kit v All Grain Costs

    If I didn't have a grainfather I would def biab. I only got a gf because of temp control and chilling. But loved biab and made some unreal beers using it. Ferment temp control is also very important.

    Fermented hot sauce

    I am ready to bottle. Can I just check, do I blend and then add back some of the salt brine solution to make it at the right consistency?

    You are stuck in quarantine with only one bottled beer (which would be your choice)

    Hobgoblin IPA. It is amazing. Such a great IPA in my opinion

    strawberry and lime cider

    Lowizc syrup. There is a strawberry version. Lidl and Tesco have it in the European food aisles.

    Kit v All Grain Costs

    There are a lot of posts here. I haven't read them all but would say the following. Can kits always have a twang to me. You never get this with ag or biab!

    Manngold's brewdays

    Double post. Brewed a single hop pale today. Used Greg Hughes base malt selection. So it was 4.7 kg pale malt, 250g carapils. I used El Dorado. I didn't have the AA% of the hops but had heard that it is high. So I went with the following: 60 min addition of 15g 15 min addition of 35g 5 min...

    Manngold's brewdays

    Forgot to update this. It ended at 1012. So I guess about 5%. Tastes ok, lots of roasted goodness coming through.

    About to make a smash using the Voss strain. How long should it take to bottle condition? Do you need to bottle condition at a high temp as well? Thanks

    Styrian Cardinal hops

    Thanks. Doesn't sound what I am looking for at the moment. Decided on El Dorado instead, not sure that fits but have always been interested!!!

    Styrian Cardinal hops

    Sorry to dig up an old thread. But what are these like? I looked at a hop profile and it says citrus. Worth it in a single hop pale?

    Kveik

    Thanks. So if I was to get a single 11g pack I shouldn't use it all in a 23l brew? Thanks

    Kveik

    Thanks Beercat and Divrack. I reckon Voss is the place to start. One last thing, say I ferment it can I dump another brew straight on the slurry to re use?

    Want to try this yeast in a simple cascade smash. Couple of questions, how hot do I need to get it. I have one tube heater in my fridge and not sure what the upper limits are. Second, which yeast should I go for in this scenario? Thanks

    Busy times from home brew shops

    What home brew supply shops are people currently using? Malt miller isn't taking orders at the moment. I have enough grain for one more brew, a Cali common style. But after that I am out of supplies!
