Hi All, I stupidly left a liquid yeast packet out of the fridge overnight which now looks to have inflated. I’ve put back in the fridge but will this still be ok to use?

I found myself going down a rabbit hole and reading about the hazards of verdigris on copper, which got me wondering about how dangerous home-brew is/ or isn’t. Do you know anybody who has gotten ill from consumption of home brewed beer (excluding through overindulgence) and if so what was the...

I brewed a Neck Oil clone today, I was meant to hop stand for 10 mins at 80 degrees but forgot to chill so the hop stand was actually circa 94/95, I then chilled and pumped into into the fermenter. Will there be a significant difference with the bitterness, will the bitterness mellow out in the...

I made the following back in Sep but only just got around to trying the keg. It’s supposed to be a Punk IPA clone, although it’s very murky. Doesn’t taste terrible, but trying to work out what went wrong. Chill haze, oxidisation? All comments welcome.

Hi all, I’m looking at the prospect of a beer type advent calendar but would prefer to make my own rather than purchase. I’ve spotted these online but min order is 30, I’m just trying to gauge would there be any / enough interest in splitting the 30...

I’ve had a beer fermenting now for three weeks, whilst I was away on holiday. It’s been sitting steady at 18 degrees until about 4 days ago, at this point Temp control was lost control resulting in it coming up to ambient temperature. I’m guessing it’s been mid 20’s as it has been quite warm...

Hi, I’ve moved my brewing outside to prevent the steam build up within the kitchen, however this seems to be at the expense of curious bugs making their way into the boiling wort. Could I use something like the below to prevent anything getting into the pot, and would this have enough open...

Hi all, I’m curious. Do you own a Kegerator/ keeper and if so where does it live?

Morning all, I’m brewing a Saison this morning which should be mashing at 66 degrees. My temperature profile whilst mashing has been terrible and dropped right off to the low 50s (I think I may’ve accidentally turned the heat off) Unfortunately I didn’t notice as I was busy elsewhere. My...

Hi, I’m having a clear out of the shed and have a bottling tree I no longer use. I’ll take some proper pics when I dig it out. It looks like the attached. Either collection from Norfolk, or yours if you cover postage.

Hi All, Im looking at purchasing a G70 to enable me to brew larger volumes, has anybody on here got any ‘long term’ experience with the G70 as most reviews I’ve seen refer to early models, which had a few hiccups to say the least. Thanks Mike

Hi, I brewed my first NEIPA the other day, whilst it’s turned out quite tasty, is is unusually clear. Any ideas on what I’ve done wrong or why it could’ve done this?

Hi guys, Have any of you any experience using bottling guns (big plus if it’s a kegland unit) Are they effective? How long does beer stay carbonated within the bottle after transferring from a keg?

Taken from the GF IG, anybody know anymore about this?

With the need to condition and carbonate before drinking (supposedly) I’m interested in how many kegs/barrels you own.

Hi, A couple of stupid question, but are my gas/ beer posts back to front, and how flush should the lid sit within the moulding on the top of the keg ( I.e should it be perfectly flat) Mike no

Spotted this on EBay, looks like a good deal if you’re in the market for a grainfather. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grainfather-Home-Brew-Set-Up-Complete/333881107272?hash=item4dbcdd6348:g:b~IAAOSweXJgHtWR

Hi, I’m planning on putting some beer into a mini keg, do I prime with sugar as I would do with a plastic keg or simply rely on the CO2 from the sparklet? Mike

Hi i almost lost flow completely from my Grainfather today when trying to pump wort through the chiller. when empty I found a huge hop build up around the filter. How do you prevent this, was I just unlucky using pelleted hops, I was using about a 100g of hops. Mike

Hi All, I’m currently either bottling or sticking into a plastic PB. I’m looking to upgrade to something which I can keep in the fridge and dispense from, my question is, do I go down the fermentasaurus route and use as a uni tank and dispense post fermentation, or am I better fermenting as...
