    Grain share Nottingham area (Stapleford)

    I’ve stackable Wilko (RIP) plastic boxes I use to store malt in. Some loose, some in sealed bags. I reckon I’d have enough storage for 25kg if I repurpose some FV’s for sealed grain. Bathroom scales, personally I prefer the ones that say you’re lighter than you are, my in-laws scales are great...

    @Nottsbeer sorry for hijacking your thread. I might be keen if it’s pre crushed. How would you go about splitting it?

    Interesting… I thought it was just where the brew day guys brew. I only live down the road in Sherwood.

    I’m pretty sure they’re the Brew Day home brew shop guys. It’s the unit next door to their ‘shop’.

    Conditioning a Belgium Trippel

    Fair the option I’ve discounted already. I reckon I’ll bottle at the end of the month then, stick it somewhere out the way that I can’t keep sampling the odd one.

    Conditioning a Belgium Trippel

    I’ve just brewed a Trippel SG 1.080 FG 1.010 - 9.19% abv it’s very boozy and needs conditioning. It’s been in primary for about 3 weeks so far. Stopped and dropped out pretty well. My options for conditioning it are. A) leave it in the FV for another month or so to mellow out then bottle. B)...

    Footwear for the brewery

    I used to work in a brewery. Instead of wearing the issued steel toe boots we used to wear what ever trainers we fancied. One shift wearing suede Adidas Gazelles I spilt some pure caustic gel onto the toe box. I only noticed at lunch when I felt burning and it had dissolved the suede, my sock...

    Mixed up hop pellets, what to use them for?

    Mixed up hop pellets, what to use them for?

    Thanks for the reply’s, sometimes you just need someone else to confirm what you think you might do isn’t too stupid I think I’m going to dump them all in at flame out with a bit of Idaho 7 (and possibly Columbus) in some sort of pale/session neipa type thing tomorrow. Something like: 4/4.5kg...

    Mixed up hop pellets, what to use them for?

    I have a clip lock plastic box that I keep hops in the freezer. In the bottom of that box is a random mix of hop pellets, around 100g. I generally use Magnum for bitterness and a revolving selection of aroma hops, some new world, some European. Should I: a) use them up as bittering hops early in...

    May 22 Competition - American Pale Ales

    I have a California ‘uncommon’ common, and a APA I’d be keen to send if you DM me your address. Both stubbornly refusing to fully carb up, but should be fine with the weather warming up.
