I have recently started using brewlabs yeast slants, now I am making up and using my own slants. Previously, I had been using dry yeast, mostly Nottingham yeast. I found the dry yeast dropped out and stuck to the bottom of the bottle really well but lacked the flavour I am now getting from...

Please, please let there be someone out there who has a Harvey's Best Bitter Clone Recipe. 30 years ago I was introduced to real ale and you cannot get better than this for a decent, consistant real ale pint of bitter. I have search world wide for clones and feel there is a home brewer who got...

Hi fellow brewers, I am here to learn from you expert brewers and hopefully you will be able to put me back on track. I finished brew 9 at the weekend (Flowers Original) and everything went according to plan and hit all my targets. Three weeks ago I brewed a modified Courage Directors. Modified...

Hi guy's I plan to brew an all grain Graham Wheeler mild recipe tomorrow (Gales Festival Mild) and it doesn't mention adding Irish Moss to the kettle in the last 10 minutes of the boil. I noticed that most of Graham Wheelers mild recipes do not add Irish Moss and wondered whether this was the...

I know this is a big ask, :pray: but can someone help me with these calculations. I used the liquor treatment calculator above and downloaded the water analysis from my water suppliers website but I don't know whether I am using the calculator correctly? :hmm: The information requires...

I have only used my new 40lt buffalo boiler once and the thing kept cutting out before it reached a rolling boil. It then worked ok after stiring vigorously over the centre where the element is. I would like to disconnect the cut out but electrigory isn't something I fully understand. Anybody...

Hi brewers, I purchased a haden standard kettle element and the bacolite locking nut became brittle after a couple of uses. I tried purchasing a brass one from the heating element company on the web and they wanted to charge me over £20 which included the brass nut, credit card charge and...

Hi Guy's I am a complete newbe to brewing but intend to start at the high end of brewing because I only drink real ale and hope to quickly manage to brew recipes from Graham Wheeler's latest book. I have made my own mash tun, using the cube shaped 40 lt cool box and it isready to go.... not sure...
