I'm doing one of my standard brews. OG was 1064. When the fermentation had slowed down, I decided to add 500g of frozen pineapple and 500g of frozen mango. I defrosted them and put them in the blender, so it was a big load of pulp, then poured that into a section of tights (my standard dry...

I often fill plastic mixer bottles with my homebrew, to take camping etc. It comes from a pressurised keg and I always make sure the foam comes right to the very top before I put the lid on. My thinking was that the foam must be made solely of beer and CO2, and won't have any oxygen (well not...

I did a brew recently with a new type of yeast i hadn't used before (Lallemand Verdant IPA) and discovered **after** kegging it that it's got a very strong sulphury/eggy flavour. In hindsight the yeast is obviously one of those ones that makes a lot of hydrogen sulfide and needs to be left to...

I want to try to rig up a closed transfer for my next brew, to avoid pouring it into the keg (which will always add the dreaded O2 into the beer). I thought that a really simple approach would be to fit a ball lock post at tap level, on the fermenter (which is plastic). Then, I would do the...

Hi all. This is weird. Hopefully someone has some advice. I got a regulator with gas line and ball lock disconnect all pre-attached, and seperately got a bottle cap carbonator. I attached it to a soda stream canister (the larger kind that has 425g of CO2) and was happily carbonating up my 2...

Hi all, first post. I did my first brew in a bag a couple of weeks ago (i've done kits previously), and it's turned out great - much better than I expected! The only issue with it was that it produced about 4 gallons of wort, which was slightly reduced when boiling, then reduced again when...
