Obviously we all know flushed vacuum sealed hops will last a long while in the freezer and conversely hops stored at ambient temperatures in oxygen rich environments i.e air will stale pretty swiftly, some say 2 weeks however I believe it's much shorter. Does anyone know how hops deal with a...

Hi everyone and sorry for probably a very simple question. Is estimated Mash Ph (measured after let's say 20-45mins after mash) the same as when people talk about Pre-boil Ph? Or is the an expected drop in Ph when removing the grain? This is in regards to full volume Biab or an RO / no...

Just a hypothetical question for a silicone blow off tube (ID 9mm OD 13mm), at roughly what rate would the blow off tube filled with 100% CO2 diffuse to atmospheric air / O2 and then eventually be fully replaced. Let's assume the length of silicone is 1m, the internal length of tubing holds...

Don't know if this effect anyone but the mineral content of Tesco Ashbeck has changed. Mainly an increase in Bicarb and PH but Mg has gone up slightly as well as sulfate, chloride and calcium.

I am getting bored of cleaning and replacing gaskets, cleaning the cages and some not being tight despite being adjusted on my flip top bottles (not my Grolsch ones - they are great). I am looking for a commercial brown 500ml beer bottle which weighs around 350g and 335g as minimum and also the...

I am wondering if bottling at cold crash temps of 0-3C then leaving the filled bottles (I sightly over fill to reduce headspace) with a loose cap (or flip top) resting on top as you go will allow the liquid to warm slightly to release co2 from the solution before capping if left for 10-20mins...

I tend to use dry yeast because I can't be assed to make a starter for higher gravity beers and the outcomes are pretty good still so I never really gave it much thought. However I've just see the brulosophy pitched a single pouch of Imperial Capri at 19C in wort with an OG of 1.083. Brü It...

Hey there, I am looking for either a local homebrew club or a few like-minded individuals who homebrew beer in West Wiltshire or BANES. I want to become more involved in that kind of community and have other individuals to try my beer and pick faults in it and tell me how to improve etc. All...

Just a question to my fellow bottle conditioning crew. For those who cold crash specifically without any real CO² or oxygen prevention methods how do you find your beers turn out and the longevity of said beers. I've made a range of beers from imperial stouts, Belgian Tripels to Triple NEIPAs...

To the much more experienced and knowledgeable homebrewers out there. In an attempt to save a bit of time on Saturday brew days, what I've been doing recently is on a Friday night I've been getting up to the stage in the brewing process where I've mashed out (biab), sparged (I know it's not...

Hypothetically if I were to prime each bottle individually with a syringe 5ml for 2.5g per bottle would I take into account the solute displacement of the water? I.e. per 100g sugar there would be an increase of sugar ~62ml = so I start with 100g and 200ml however once dissolved the solution...

Long story short...we'll find out soon! Last Saturday, I messed up a mash temp for my newest beer (Double NEIPA) and ending up mashing at 70-72C for 90 mins. I was trying to stir like crazy with my drill paddle (attached photo) to reduce the temp to no avail! So I thought **** it, I'll cover it...

The reboot is never as good as the original. And I know this has been asked so many times. I'm here for a discussion about the following. I kind of wish this subject had previously received a definitive answer to the question. (I think it's important to say I'm in the UK and have access to...

Completely irrelevant but I am currently enjoying a Westmalle Tripel 👌. So on to my Session Hazy. Well what more is there to say. After my Triple NE IPA went surprisingly well. I wanted to try something which I could get more out of and drink more of rather than a 10% which was a struggle to...

Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow along. Ask me any questions! The...
