I had a fair bit left over from the keg so rather than bottle I put it through the engine. Tastes quaffable. It's a lot clearer after it settles. Now to see what the keg's like.

Kegged it today. Nailed the FG 1.010, looking forward to trying it. I went with the keggerator (sorry Baron) because I forgot I've got a bitter conditioning in the fridge with the beer engine and it would have been a squeeze. If it turns out to be a winner, I'll likely rebrew it again for the...

I may just flip a coin 🤣

Hmm that's weird as the mash temps were fine, maybe it was the grain choice, although the cream ale had flaked maize in it so that's surprising.

That's excellent and just what I was after, thank you.

I've brewed two beers with this now, so I thought I'd put my tuppeny's worth in. I found it hard to get it to full attenuation at 11°c and it ended up making my Schwartzbier more like a stout. It tastes wonderful, but it's nowhere near what I would have got with WLP800, or 820. I made a Lime...

Thank you, is that your preference for this style or just general preference?

Good day Brewers and Brewster's, I've brewed a Centennial Blonde for the first time and it's completely fermented out in just under 3 days. I've dumped the dead yeast and trub; now I need to decide what conditioning to do. 1) Treat it like an American IPA, keg it and carbonate at 12 PSI for a...

I'd proffer the opinion that you should mentally write off your first attempt at anything you try for the first time. My first beers were awful, but you soon learn what you did wrong and it's very rare that I repeat the same mistake (mainly because I'm tight and I hate wasting money). Also...

I finished brewing my attempt at 04:00ish Sunday morning, I'm using MJM36 (because I had some) which has taken off like a rocket. Unfortunately it's slightly higher ABV wise than I wanted, but if it's as good as people suggest then I'll likely brew it again. The smell of the cascade were...

You'll get citrus fermenting that high, unless it's under pressure.

I've just started watching Hell on Wheels on FreeVee. It's a tad slow to begin with, but I'm really enjoying it now. Good if you like Westerns.

It definitely was in the last episode.

As a fellow sad middle aged man, that too would please me greatly. The delayed start ability on the Grainfather is one of my favourite features.

I need to try Perle in my standard Bohemian Pilsner recipe. I swap the hops to the same IBU to the original recipe everytime I brew it. I want to try Barbe Rouge and Tettnanger at some point as well.

Use lube, don't over tighten and you'll be happy. Pretty much rules for life actually.

As a very happy Fermzilla user, I'm going to wait for the Tri-clamp versions to come out. Naked Keg are getting the tri-clamp lids in with the hop bongs.

I dry hopped the Rye Beer last night as it was at 80% completion and I wanted to dry hop during active fermentation. I hope I manage to get some beer out of this hop soup! Also, Voss is a monster!

So, ended up 05:00... Burnt bottom tripped out the Grainfather and needed transferring to fermenting buckets to be reset. Then I had to clean off the burnt bits and run PBW through everything, then I had to rinse it, then I poured the wort back in, boiled it for 5 minutes and did the whirlpool...

Post mash looking good 👍
