I have brewed the punk ipa and its coming up to 2 weeks in primary, normally if i'm dry hopping then I transfer to a secondary vessel first and then dry hop. I like to do a crash cool after the dry hop period so all the hop mush settles out but I only have the keg fridge. Now, the fridge can...

So lets say I do an all grain brew and aim for 23 litres, the usual grain bill would give me just over 5% abv which is about how I like my brews. But I boil for too long and only come out with 20 litres, check the OG, and i'm gonna get around 6% - not to my liking. Can i top up the FV to the...

Thats right, he loves the stuff, so much so that he's eaten his way through an entire 4.5kg brews worth that i'd thrown on the compost heap. I'v spent the morning cleaning dog doo up of the carpet, drive, lawn Maybe our beloved border collie was trying to lend a helping paw getting the whole...

When we're done spending a ton of money on boilers, pots, mash tuns etc can it be utilized for other tasks ? I kept the missus happy this weekend using the temperature control on the grainfather to do Sous Vide steak, sous vide is a form of cooking that requires very precise temperatures...

I was in wilko's today looking at the homebrew section, they have cervaza kits for £9.00 each. Don't get me wrong here, cervaza's are great on a hot day but useless the rest of the time as ( just IMHO) they are pretty tasteless and void of any mouthfeel, but as LME is hard to come by could such...

Hey, so it's my birthday in a couple of weeks so decided to do a coopers Mexican as having a few friends around, I decided I'd keg this rather than bottle as I don't want to have to wash 40 odd bottles the morning after plus the whole sediment thing with friends at a party. Now, I don't have a...
