Hi, Just opened my fermentor to take a gravity reading and saw this. Pretty sure its not an infection. Gravity is 1012 from 1044. Yeast was us-05. Just for my education, is this protein clumps or would it still be the krausen falling through? Feel I am running the risk of the lid police...

Hi All, After brewing my first all grain batch with the 30L brew monk my beer is now ready for bottling. I have done a basic bitter brew with Ekg as the late addition hops. Grainfather predicted an OG of 1046 but mine turned out at 1040, the FG now is around 1010 which was predicted by the...

Hi, Just made the leap to all grain after purchasing a brew monk all in one. Could do with a bit of advice on what to start out brewing, my original idea was to just do a simple SMaSH with the MO and a hop. Maybe could squeeze three 15l batches out of this? I have brewing software with the...

Ok so here goes, i have been acquired a load of extract ingredients - LME (canned), steeping grains, hops (unopened vacuum packed), and yeast (dried unopened) which i paid next to nothing for. Problem is that they have all been stored in his cupboard for the last two months when he bought them...

Hello all I have just brewed my first extract brew, used brewers friend to calculate bitterness etc but when all was done the OG reading was off. The calculator predicted 1059 but he sample I took from the FV last night was more like 1039. I followed the recipe and brew steps as instructed but...

Hi all, So its three weeks after i bottles my wilko best bitter kit, opened the bottle to taste an i had a gusher (tested 3 bottles). Problem is i know i overcarbed at 1 1/2 tsp per 300ml bottle. The beer tastes absolutely fine (actually really good) i was just wondering if this may be infected...

Hello, I recently acquired some campden tabs for my brewing inventory but the bottle has poor instructions (actually none apart from wine making). I was planning on treating my water in 4 x 5l water bottles for my brew tomorrow but unsure how to use the correctly. Apologies i am sure this has...
