American Pale Ale pls

Great set up! Can you share more on the bladder please as this is an upgrade to my almost closed transfer. Thanks Mike

Thanks Clint, so the wider surface area of the manifold did increase efficiency. Do you batch or fly sparge? Not sure I could manage to make one myself!

Any advice please? I use a 10 gallon yellow igloo cooler with a bazooka tube for my mash tun and I batch sparge. I’m considering changing from a bazooka to a domed false bottom. Whilst I’m not strung out on efficiency, I reckon I could get higher then my current 68-70%. Welcome any experience...

Hey Clint, my GH YB turned out closer to say John Smiths. It all got drunk but often was like a day out at York races! Perhaps was was thinking/expecting it was more a landlord. Perhaps it all went wrong! Interested to hear how you would compare yours? Cheers Mike

Great name - may give it a go after this one.

Great thanks Clint, I’m hoping so. Patience on this one. Fortunately, my 2 kegs have reproduced so brewing can continue in number 3!

I did the GH coffee stout recipe a couple of weeks ago, gonna keg today. I used a liquid Irish yeast, without a starter, which failed to ferment(doh!). After 4 days I pitched a dry yeast. It’s now a few points off target at 1019. All previous brews (hoppy ales, wheat beers) where practically...

Same, same albeit 3m of 3/16. It does pour slow but works for me across beers at maybe 5c. Pressure set at maybe 14 or more like between 10 and 20. There’s lots of science on the subject.....

Yep, pleased with how it’s turned out.

The GH American Wheat. Kegged Sunday - ‘‘tis good...

There’s lots of hop action in there - assume it’s delicious? This is mine. The GH version. Very little hops, Wyeast 1010 American yeast. Tastes good, not overly clovey, banana - more refreshing I’d say. Kegged on Sunday.

I’ve done and consumed the Young’s AIPA during lockdown. It was my first brew in after years away. No wastage - it was great. Lots of hops in the kit. Buy cheap, buy twice..... Hope it goes well whatever you decide.

Give me a chilled/cold beer any day, ideally, everyday! My chilled NEIPA in the kegerator is tasting great. Next in will be a raspberry wheat beer - bring back the summer! PS I’ve got the kegs on an inkbird set to 6c, cause that’s how I like it....

Great thanks. I’ve read about the mesh bags - they seem like a popular way to add. I reckon I’ll do similar, using thawed frozen berries in a mesh bag. Your temp of 39c sounds exciting! Checked mine this morning - it’s at 24c, with the jimmy’ed blow off tube working a treat. First time I...

Excellent, it should be good for the return of summer! How did you add you raspberries?

Interesting read. I’ve got the GH raspberry wheat beer in the FV today. Grain bill was just lager malt and wheat malt. It’s billed as a Belgium style wheat beer. I went with the recipe as a baseline as noted the simple grain bill. Albeit with a white labs Hefeweizen yeast, due to stocks of...

Wow, great ingenuity there! Today I bagged a £10 fridge off Facebook. I’ve already ripped off the plastics need to fit my FV. Plan is to install a heat lamp and with my ink bird I reckon I’ll be sorted. Really appreciate the response.

Excellent, thanks for that. I’m gonna do the same with the campden and transfer. Cheers Pennine

Hey Pennine, I’m gonna use campden to help with the same in a (corny) keg. Can I ask please, how did you transfer it? Syphon from a FV bucket or another? (Closed, semi closed, etc etc) thanks Mike
