Hi guys, So I have been fermenting a wheat beer this week, trying to push the banana esters as hard as I can. I used WYeast 3638. Malt bill was basically 70% malted wheat & 30% pils. Hopped it lightly with Mandarina Bavaria. I decided to open ferment this beer, but did so in my fermentation...

Hi all, I'm making a HLT/HERMS tank, and I have a stainless steel wort chiller which I am fitting into the ot as a HERMS coil. I need to cut a couple of points on the pipe to make it fit the pot. I don't have an angle grinder. Does anybody have a suggestion of how to do this, neatly, or a shop...

Has anyone managed to get their hands on this Omega Yeast strain here in the UK? I'm desperate to try it out, as they have bio-engineered it so that it doesn't have the gene to produce 4-vinyl guaiacol (the phenol we perceive as clove). Have scoured the interwebs and nobody in the UK seems to...

Hi all, I would really love a side pour lager tap, but the cost of buying one of the real-deal faucets by Lukr is abour £200 a pop! So, I've been trying to think about how I could build a tap to do the same job, even if it is a lot less pretty... The tap is essentially 4 main components - the...
