Now that BrewUK have gone t!ts up, does anybody have a good source for 20l slim crusader kegs. I used a cornie for the first time in years and had a CO2 leak that wasted a full 6.5kg cylinder :-( so time to flog the cornies and invest in a couple more crusaders and go 100% Sanke in the brewshed

I'm about to attempt a double brew to result in a 5.8% ABV Milk Stout plus a <0.5% ABV Milk Stout using the same grist. 10l using the short pipe in my BM Recipe 1: Vitals Original Gravity: 1.066 Final Gravity: 1.022 IBU (Tinseth): 46 BU/GU: 0.70 Colour: 88.5 EBC Mash Temperature — 66 °C —...

Last night on the telly I saw a segment on low alcohol beers - and it actually contained some technical info. The brewer said he mashed at 86c and that was the only difference between his alcoholic brews and his low-alcohol brews. Has anyone tried this?

My brewery controller had a loose connection to the element. So after a 60 min rest at 68c instead of ramping directly to 78c for a 15 min mash out it stalled at 72-73c for a long time before I noticed something was wrong. I doubt there would be that much more conversion - but I guess I can...

Hi Three weeks ago I brewed a beer based on Firestone Walker Extra Pale Ale - just pale + munich + carapils - no wheat or oats etc and I used Lallemand London yeast, which I've only used once before. Flocculation is noted to be low - but the beer is NEIPA murky after 2 weeks in FV including 4...

For the first time since returning to the hobby 10 years ago - I've got an infection. I had brewed a Koelsch before the Jubilee weekend, the recipe called for the yeast to be pitch at 14c and free rise from there. I only managed to chill to 17c - so pitched but left the fermentor in the brew...

Three hives have appeared in the field behind my house. This has inspired me to make a small batch (demi-john) of mead for the first time. I've spoken to the beekeeper and he will reserve some honey for me - so now I just need a foolproof recipe and some tips. Can anyone help?

Title says it all. Like many things in my life the kveik hype has slightly passed me by. However, I want to try it out soon - what are the best styles for this yeast? and what's the best temperature for fermentation - does it need to be controlled or just pitch at a certain temperature and let...

On Saturday morning I brewed a Golden Ale - it should come out at 4% with just a single charge of Goldings at the start of the boil, it's a nice simple beer brewed with US-05. However thanks to this cold snap the brew fridge is now down to 11c! I had intended to maintain around 19c. It is down...
