    Beer ok?

    Hi guys, I am about to bottle my beer. I dry hopped 3 days ago and this sediment is still on top after cold crash. Does this look normal? Is the sediment just hop dust? Thanks

    Cold crash?

    Hi guys. I recently checked the gravity of my beer that’s been sat in a temperature controlled fermenting vessel for 7 days. It seems to have finished fermentation but there is still what I believe to be yeast on the surface? I’ve never cold crashed but have the ability to now. Will this help...

    Grain bill / water ratio

    Hi guys, I have bought a few all grain kits lately that have no water quantity’s on. I’ve been guessing from previous expierence and brews the split between mash and sparge water. My question is is there a formula you use that can tell you how much mash water you need using a given grain bill...

    All grain kits

    I normally buy my all grain kits from GetErBrewed. I am currently looking at designing my own recipes but not quite ready for the jump. My question is where else can I buy pre packaged all grain packs from? Thanks

    Secondary fermentation in bottles.

    Hi guys, just a quick Question, how long do you normally leave your bottles before cracking them open? I normally leave them in the shed for 3 weeks before drinking as a rule of thumb. Cheers

    Mash kettle cleaning

    Hi guys, I recently finished a brew and decided to clean out my mash kettle with oxi clean overnight (seen on you tube) and I completely forgot about it for 2 days. When washing out I have a white staining / chalky residue that seems to be pretty well stuck to the kettle. Is this normal / how...

    Water!

    Afternoon, beginner here. The more I’ve been delving into the world of AG videos / research etc, it has led me to wonder how important water treatment is. I normally just use tap water (I believe it’s quite hard in my area). Is this a problem? Also I plan to fill my kettle tonight and leave...

    Second Fermentation flavour change.

    Hi guys, I made a mistake on my first home brew in terms of water calculations and to cut it short ended up with an 8% ale. I bottled it yesterday and it is cloudy and doesn’t taste amazing. Now I’m not sure whether the taste is due to the high alcohol content or I’ve maybe got an infection of...

    Storing Sanitiser

    Hi Guys, New to brewing and have recently done my first AG brew. Whilst doing this I made some sanitiser up (Brewsafe) powder mix and put it into a spray bottle. My question is, does / will it loose effectiveness over time? I would like to keep it in there rather than waste it every time. I...
