Hi all, Just noticed that the stock Fermzilla Gen 3 is only £99 at Malt Miller, they also have it with pressure kit and spending valve for £129! Seems a fair bit cheaper than other places. https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/gen3-27l-fermzilla-tri-conical-pressure-brewing-kit/?v=79cba1185463

Doing my usually idle trawl of home-brew shops and noticed B2B are selling Gen 3 fermenter kings for £80, reduced from £125 - seems like a bit of a bargain, does this mean there is a Gen4 approaching @foxy...

Just noticed Brew Keg Tap are selling their old stock of V2 Fermzillas for £55 or £95 with pressure kit and spunding valve. https://brewkegtap.co.uk/collections/fermzilla/products/fermzilla-27l-gen2-starter-kit-and-ultimate-pressure-kit?variant=39274638114897

Hi all, Just planning a West Coast IPA, how does this look to people… the 50g of carapils is just to use up the last of it! Still deciding whether to do first dry hop during active fermentation or not. A little worried I’m using too many different varieties of hops. Water profile will be heavy...

Hi all, I bottled some semi-carbed beer last Friday (it had been pressure fermented at about 10psi and cold crashed at around 5psi), used a single large carb drop in each 500ml bottle. Bottles now stored in a box under my desk at around 20C or so. I want to enter this into a comp on Thursday, do...

Hi all, Not sure de-hazyfying is a technical term but hopefully it's understandable! Researching my next brew and have been working on a recipe loosely based originally on Verdant Lightbulb. I've upped the bitterness and strength a little to pull it into spec for an American IPA and moved from a...

My step-dad gave me this AG kit as he’s didn’t have time to brew it. I did as a test out of my new G40 and it’s come out very close in taste to the original. Maybe slightly drier with a bit more bitterness at the back of the tongue.

Hi all, I picked up 50g of Lupomax Saaz hops and some Kveik Voss yeast at BrewCon, am thinking of using them in a Bohemian/Czech style pilsner. This is my first attempt at a recipe, loosely based on David Heath’s guide. How does this sound? I have added some carapils for head retention and...

Hi Look what the postie just delivered, my £40 bargain from eBay... The listing did say it didn't work but, from the photos, it looked to be complete. Quick look around at most the bits are there, a few bolts missing here and there though. I think there should be a couple of longish bolts...

My next door neighbours had a party tonight, I said I’d bring a keg around though, as they mostly drink Stella, wasn’t sure how my west coast IPA would go down. Everyone was complementary of the beer but I took that as just general politeness but they kept coming back for refills, for me that’s...

Hi all, My latest batch is being a bit slow to ferment out and I won't have enough time to do a rest, reduce the temp, dry hop for a few days and chill/rack before I go on holiday for a week on Sunday. Would it be better to leave at fermentation temp (18) or raise it to the rest temp (23) for...

I’ve left this in the keg for around three months now and it has really rounded out. Initially it tasted a bit thin and the coffee was overly bitter but now it is delicious! I bottled half of it to save for Christmas, I‘ll open one up this evening to see how those are getting on, think I might...

Hi all, I'm thinking on getting a bigger boiler for my BIAB set up, currently have a 27l Burco where I always have to add water at the end of the boil to get 25 or so litres into the fermenter. Was looking at the 40l Burco but it's nearly £200 so was thinking the Grainfather 40l sparge boiler...

Kegged my Proper Job clone this evening. Unfortunately the back of the all rounder was touching the back of the fridge it was cold crashing in and there was a good litre or two frozen inside. Didn’t notice until I was half way through transfer. Bugger! I guess it will be a tad stronger now… On...

What is the hive view on leaving a corny keg full of StarSan or ChemSan after cleaning it out? Would it attack the stainless steel or silicon hose on a floating dip tube if left in the keg for a while (month or two)? I was thinking of mixing up 19l of ChemSan and leaving in my freshly cleaned...

Hi all, Was just searching for more gumpf on the new Grainfather unit when I stumbled across this site: https://bsghandcraft.com/grainfather-g40 There's link on the page to a DropBox site with lots of pictures/info https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kpfk58o3891zurg/AACCq4x17E7B70zK_ktF-wJ9a?dl=0 Enjoy!

Hi all, l have a proper job clone in my All Rounder that’s just started fermenting today using Verdant IPA yeast, will be done in around a fortnight. It has no dry hop additions. If I do my next brew (a West Coast IPA) on the same or next day day after I rack the proper job can I just stick it...

Hi all, I thought the cooler I just bought from eBay was made of 8mm pipe, turns out it is 10mm so these two compression fittings are no good for me! Yours for the postage cost (probably a quid or so) or come and collect, I'm in Southgate, north London...

Hi all, I’ve just kegged my mountain IPA, I used a couple of the tea strainer things with the hops in for the dry hop but it didn’t work at all as I put too many hops in each, they were about half full when I put them in but completely stuffed when I took them out. The hops were very compacted...

Hi all, On my latest brew, fermenting in an All Rounder in a fridge with a 40w tube heated controlled by an InkBird, I did an experiment… Day 1: temp probe in thermowell, approximately in centre of FV. Day 2: temp probe stuck to the side of the FV with bubble wrap over the top. this is the...
