Hi all So I’m an idiot. I brewed when my son was down a couple of weeks ago because he was insistent he wanted to learn the process (he’s a 19 not 5 or something haha) and I didn’t have time to clean out the boiler after so covered it and left it. Thing is… I forgot that I had done this as I...

Hi I’ve been brewing for a good five years or so now but am not the most science minded person and have a limited understanding of water chemistry. Water in Pompey is very hard and advice from local brew shop based on what more learned folk have discovered was… (For 35-40l liquor all grain...
