Hi everyone just a quick question. Just bottled darkrock bosses boss. It says first 4 days keep temp at 24 degrees then move to a cooler place. Problem is the warmest place in the house is only 21. Will it make much difference? Cheers.

Hi everyone, I brewed the bosses boss allgrain kit from darkrock yesterday and my og was 1064 instead of 1072 This is about the 3rd brew on the run using the Brewmonk that the og is too low. I noticed yesterday aswell that filled to the max it was struggling to boil. In the end I had to take 4...

Hi everyone, I'm brewing the bosses boss tomorrow from dark rock brewing. It says in the instructions cool the Wort to the temperature for the yeast supplied then add 1kg of brewing suger. Do I do the hydrometer reading for my og after putting the suger in or before? Thanks for your help. Cheers.

Hi everyone, when I brew I usually find a recipe and buy the grains, hops and yeast separately and put all the ingredients into brewfather with the hopcat 30l profile to find out the mash and sparge water quantities. Now I've bought 2 kits from dark rock. The instructions says 20 litres mash and...

Hi everyone, I bought a couple of all grain kits a couple of months ago, (might be longer) that I still haven't brewed cause other things got in the way. Would they stiil be ok to brew. Its all been kept dry in the box but I haven't stored the yeast in the fridge or the hops in the freezer...

Hi, I don't know if anyone's experienced this or can explain it it to me. I brewed clibits centennial brown ale a couple of weeks ago and when I tasted it at the time putting it in the fermenting bucket it had a nice taste to it. Fast forward 2 weeks and I was testing the abv for the final...

Hi everyone, I'm finally gonna buy a corny keg or two. My question is once the beer is in the keg does it have to be connected to the gas the whole time until its empty or can you take the gas off to connect to a different keg? Just wondering. Cheers.

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if it matters what percentage of the water is for strike water and what percentage is for sparge water.? The reason I ask is im doing a 23 litre brew and brewfather says I need 17.16 litres strike water and 15.58 litres sparge. Would it make any difference if I...

Hi everyone, I bottled 40 bottles of oatmeal stout and 40 bottles of two hearted pale ale clone two weeks ago and left it in the celler. It's usually 20 degrees but just checked and its dropped to about 17 degrees. Will that affect the carbonation process? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Hi everyone, like the heading says I had a double brew day today. An oatmeal stout and Bells two hearted clone. The stout was 1042 instead of 1050 and the two hearted was really low 1042 instead of 1064. I've brewed that before and last time the OG was spot on. The only thing I changed was the...

Hi, I've brewed a Bells two hearted ale and I'm ready to bottle. The recipe says volume of co2 2.4..how do i get the right amount? I don't want it to be too fizzy or too flat. I'm using dextrose and using 500ml bottles. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Hi, just a quick question. Does dry hop 3 days mean dry hop for 3 days after fermentation stops and just before transferring to bottle? Thanks for your help. Cheers

Hi everyone, I've bought a brewmonk all in one and want to brew at the weekend. This might be a stupid question considering the name overflow pipe but is liquid actually supposed to flow into the overflow pipe during the mash? The reason I ask is because in the manual it says adjust the...

Hi, I haven't been brewing long but bottling the beer is getting a bit tedious so i started thinking about kegs. There's a few things I don't know though and I find the whole thing a bit little bit daunting. Some help would be appreciated. Do I have to put priming suger in the beer before it...

Hi everyone, I want to brew a bells two hearted ale Clone but I'm a having a few problems with the grain. The recipe calls for 5kg Best malz pale ale(6ebc). And 980g castlemalts Chateau Vienna (5.5 ebc). The problem is I can't get any Chateau Vienna. Would it be a problem if I just used another...

Hi everyone, I'm going to bottle a batch of oatmeal stout at the weekend and I was wondering how much priming suger to use for 500ml bottles. I've read somewhere not to use normal amounts so it doesn't go too gassy. Is that true? Ive bought a bag of muntons carbonation drops that says 2 drops...

Hi, quick question. How much irish moss for a 10l brew. Google search is vague. I added too much whirlock on my first brew and ended up with what looked like a brain in the wort. I want to avoid that this time. Cheers. I'm brewing sierra nevada pale ale if it helps. Cheers.

Hi everyone, like the title says what's the pros and cons of 30 or 50l all in one? The obvious thing is the 30l is 150 euro cheaper and that's the one I think I'm leaning to.But then I think it's not much more for the bigger one and will I regret not getting the 50l in a few years time? Then I...

Hi everyone, here's yet another question. This is a week into fermentation it's my first AG brew.it's a Belgian ipa. Is that normal? It looks like a brain. I had a google and someone mentioned it's because I used whirlfloc. I'm just checking to see if that's right? And will it clear up. I've got...

Hi everyone, I brewed a oatmeal stout on Friday and haven't seen any signs of fermentation. No bubbles in the airlock, or no foam on the top. Should I put more yeast in? Or is it already ruined. Cheers.
