This one's for all you DIY deities out there 😁 I'm looking to replace the kitchen radiator, despite 6 months putting it off! 😜 I've enclosed a pic of the old one. It's under the kitchen counter top, with limited space (though i can probably remove the top if i have to). The replacement...

Hey brew crew 😁 I've been scouring the web, trying to find recipes for some of the beers I love by these guys: Tiny Rebel - Cali Pale Purity - Session IPA Has anyone found a recipe for these/tried making them? I'll keep looking, but seems harder to find than talented actors in a soap opera...

Hey there ale army! 😉 Apologies if this covers old ground, but I wanted to ask if you'd mind sharing your brewing experiences. Specifically, what was the thing(s) you changed to make the difference & transform your brews to the next level. It could be a piece if kit, ingredient, or a...

Hi there brew crew, I've recently decided to upgrade from my old CO2 mini regulator (especially seeing as it's knackered! 😜) and buy a proper regulator, 'low budget' if possible I've looked around and astounded by how much they can cost, depending on what you want I have seen one on ebay for...

Hey there ale aficionados 😁 Apologies if this is covering old ground, but has anyone been on the receiving end of dubious activity by their energy providers, regarding fixed rate tariffs? We have an EDF Simply Online Jun23 tariff that we signed last year, priced at £70/m. They have recently...

Hey all, Forgive the awful pun, but hopefully its done the trick & gained your interest 😁 Months ago, I bought a rather over-elaborate beer dispensing tap/faucet, for my kegged homebrew (see pic below) It worked fine & delivered a nice frothy & smooth beer to enjoy. However, last time I was...

Hey there, brew crew Seems like I've unwittingly wandered into brewer-bozo territory....🙃 After kegging my beer last night, I pressured it up to 14psi & put it in the shed. As it was a cool night, I thought I'd let mother nature do the hard work with cold crashing....hence took my first step...

Hi there guys... This one's for all you budding Mario's & Plumbob Sqaurepants out there 😉 I've recently bought some new double panel radiators (Milano Aruba), and looking to try replacing them myself. The old ones are mostly double panel, but fitted some while ago, and it appears at different...

Hey there brewing amigos 😁 On a trip to Whitby last year, I happened to chance across the Little Angel pub. Inside were an array of decent beers, but one that really teased the taste buds was Motorhead's Road Crew. I think it may be an offshoot of some existing ale from Cameron Brewery, but...

Hey guys, Another quick post to gather your thoughts and invaluable advice 😉 This time it's about exposure of beer to oxygen.... Many a brew video shows some brewers absolutely scathing of any exposure to oxygen whatsoever, allowing their brew less air than anaerobic bacteria to get in...

Hello once again, brew crew 😁 I have the following question around beer quality, and I'd love to hear feedback from you hop heroes 😉 As still a relative noob to 'small batch biab all grain brewing' I think it's fair to say my initial attempts so far have been a mixed bag. From delightfully...

I have a question for all you budding Perry Masons & Rumpoles out there 😁 Is it legal that a company can deduct training course fees from your final salary, if you decide to leave the company within a certain time frame? My company have a policy of recouping training course fees, if an...

Hey folks, For my next brew I was planning to do a citra ipa recipe. Specifically an Oakham Citra clone, if such a recipe exists? Has anyone found a reliable recipe they have previously used they could share please? I'm planning on making it as a 10L biab, if anyone finds that useful 😉

And I don't mean the brewing ones 😉 Hi guys, I've recently been renovating our bathroom and fitted an oak windowsill. I treated with Briwax, but noticed a few months down the line some discolouration in the finish due to moisture or items left on it. As its in the bathroom it receives a good...

Hey guys, Time to ask the experts, so I'm a bit less of a brewing buffoon 😎 In my current setup I have a simple plastic fermentation bucket (tap at bottom, hole in lid for airlock). Half way through (1week) the process I intend to dry hop with 25g cascade in a muslin bag. I've read of...

Hi there, I'm still very much treading the thin line of all grain brewing, and this will be my 3rd attempt. I'm having trouble sourcing some of the grains used in some of the IPA recipes I'm finding. Most of them are American, and some of the grain types don't seem to be available here in the...

Hi again guys Firstly, thanks to your for your invaluable advice so far. I wanted to ask for your experiences of topping up C02 on forced carbonising. Do you find you need to top up often, and by how much? Reason for asking is my first brew (8L ipa in a 10L keg, conditioning at 10'C...

Hi all, I'm currently on my first ever brew (Beavertown Gamma Ray) and hit a bit of a snag, finding out the hydrometer is broken :( Has anyone used this yeast before and have a rough idea of fermentation times please? I've fermented my 10L liquor for 6 days at 20'c and noticed the krausen has...

Hi there, I'm just starting to get into brewing my first batch (IPA) and thought i'd ask you guys from some expertise ;) I'm thinking of dry hopping my brew to add extra depth of flavour to my brew, but not sure on the exact details. As i understand it, to dry-hop i add hops (pellets) into...
