I currently have a Hazy IPA sitting in my fermzilla at 20c that hit FG 3 days ago 5 days since pitch using WHC Brexit yeast. I dry hopped and now the FG has started dropping further..... into the realms of over attenuation. It was supposed to finish at 1.014ish and now its closer to 1.011...

I currently have 2 x Chinook and 3 x Centennial in the ground and have just acquired space for probably another 5 plants. At the moment I tend to be brewing mostly Hazy IPA's and West Coast IPA's (shocker right?!). With the bombastic US/Aus/NZ varieties out of the question due to difficulties...

Hello all, I recently brewed the Verdant Lightbulb All Grain Recipe kit from The Malt Miller. It tastes amazing, FG hit bang on and I got a lot of things right but there is still a lot to improve on and streamline... And rather than brewing 20L batch after 20L batch I have ordered the micro...

I recently finished my first all grain brew with a good friend of mine using a G30 grainfather. The recipe we brewed was the American IPA by John Finch recipe kit from The Malt Miller. Fermentation went well with plenty of activity for 10/14 days (although a smaller krausen then expected) and...

Hello! Having brewed a few extract kits I made the jump and purchased a Grainfather. I brewed my first batch a couple of weeks ago (John Finch American IPA recipe from Malt Miller) which ended fermentation smelling like popcorn.... (I’ll go in to more detail in the relevant forum) Whilst i wait...
