Been recently thwarted by large amounts of hops expanding during brew and becoming close to blocking transfer and clouding the wort. Next batch I used my large hop spider which did the job of containing things but I worry about lack of hop circulation during the mashing? So the question: Hop...

Visited my beer cellar this afternoon- very peaceful, smelling of damp and stale beer. In the quiet, I noticed…..The gentle hiss of the escaping CO2 from my spund valve. What a comforting sound - and so full of promise from a brew that hit all the numbers - an unusual win for me :) The joy of...

My first brew after a disastrous winter/spring of flooding in my cellar brew area was intended as a reward for “getting back on my horse” after months of absence and the clear up. A Fullers ESB clone was mashed at 67C (1hr then boiled for 1hr). Lallemand London English Style yeast(12g) pitched...

I had lots of help recently from this forum with a near fail first venture in BIAB. The recipe predicted OG 1050 and I got 1040. Most likely causes were not having a fine crush and underestimating attenuation (by following the recipe) and not mashing long enough. Best offered practical solution...

I’m still very new to home brew, done about 6 ag brews, quite successfully. Tried a Jon Finch recipe for Hefe Weiss (wheat beer). All went to plan until I transferred to FV and got a SG reading of 1040 - way off the anticipated 1050. Three days later I’m only getting 2 repeat readings of 1016...

Being new to the homebrew scene and with my first brew fermenting, I thought I would start to log the process and find an app that held recipes, converters, tips etc. Went into Apple store and found most apps that fit my requirements are American, or aimed at that market. I like some American...

Hi, my name is Simon and I’ve become bored stupid during lockdown. My son’s first try with a beer kit inspired me, and got me thinking. I have a cellar under the house which I plan to use for brewing - it has water and electricity so can be adapted. I have ordered a Brewzilla/Robobrew, plus a...
