Updated accordingly. So what mash temp should i be aiming for then? 62? ill leave the Caramelizing for another brew then ill probably have my hands full with a hop schedule like this anyway :) I remember reading on here i think that adding sugar does dry the beer out and crisp it up a bit, it...

Thanks Rob the rum and raisin stout sounds like a great idea iv put this into brewmate. Couple of questions about ur process, when did you add the rum and raisin? thinking about it could you soak the raisin's in the Rum over night then blitz them up? to get rid of any nasty surprises will this...

Ok thanks for the reply's! taking inspiration from your brew Calum and the BD website i have come up with this for the IPA. To give it a twist after reading this http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=40891 post i might give it a go. Im going to draw off 4lts and reduce it down...

Hi Guys Long time no brewing for me im afraid. Been trying to get on the property ladder which im finding is a lot more trouble and expensive than its worth! Anyway with the end in sight and a move date approaching iv decided to give some thought to the very important question, what is going...

Sorry for the bump but can you freeze the turb? will the yeast go into hibernation or will it just die?

Cheers guys, ill keep a packet or two of dried on standby just in case. Hopefully it will be another brewing technique mastered!!

Thanks for the prompt feedback, so working on that premise i can siphon off all my beer and split the leftovers between two sterilized containers top up with cooled boiled water, put in the fridge untill next weekend. Then wake it up with a DME starter at room temp the day before brewing?

Hi all Im having a bottling session tonight and want to reuse the yeast as it was a Whitelab's, can anyone help with the process i need to follow. Im hoping to use it over bank holiday weekend in a brew. Im setting up a bit of stock rotation this will be my 3rd AG brew in as many months :D. Im...

The summer ale sounds like a great idea i have fuggles left over from dry hopping my kits so that will be usefull. Im intrigued by the lemon zest in the brew. does this come out in the final beer as a main flavor or just a back note? Also the Caramel/Crystal Malt, im using brewmate and the...

Im doing my first mini (13lt) all grain brew tomorrow and i'm undecided as to which malt to use. I was originally just going to use pale malt and 2 types of hops (Challenger and Golding). After reading some recipes on here im starting to think i need an additional malt. Could someone point me in...

What are people's thoughts on doing this? will it not create hot spots in your FV? Will this have any affect on the fermentation? Iv been waiting for this to come up for a while i bought a heater off amazon for £8 and was torn between the two methods. I was leaning towards submerging the heater...
