Hi, I have just bought an ebay Co2 regulator got my first corny keg set up, but I think I might have bought the wrong thing. The first gauge reads pressure on a scale I doubt I will ever need in my keg, 0-400bar. The second measures flow rate in CFH. If I have bought the wrong thing...

I bought a wilko pressure barrel as I had lost a few bottles recently and has a batch that was done. I racked my beer into the barrel with 80g of priming sugar, fit the gas bulb lid, without a bulb, and left it in the cupboard for a week. I drawed off a half pint and was worried when the flow...

I am getting into all-grain brewing after cutting my teeth on extract and then partial mashing. I have been given a 30 litre cool box type mash tun but I can only boil up about 15 litres due to the size of my kitchen and my pan. I haven't found a suitable guide for this process, and I am...

I have been wanting to try brewing with fennel for some time now. I often use the seeds when I bake bread, and think that if it goes well with bread it should go well with beer! I'm going to use a modified version of a Clown Juice clone Wit style beer I currently have fermenting, with some hops...

I am wanting a project to improve my brewing. What area would you say is best to invest my time and money into that would give the biggest improvement to my brewing experience / finished beer. My current set up is very basic. I have just moved to partial mashing. I mashed in a bag in my 5...

Merry Christmas! I am about to attempt my first partial mash brew. I am aiming for something similar to Magic Rock Brewery's Clown Juice, for those not familiar with this delicious creation, it's what they call an India Wit Ale, basically an Belgian Wit, dry hopped IPA style...

I made this recipe http://thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=46622 two weeks ago. The fermentation has been stuck at 1.020 from an OG of 1.040 for the last week. The fermentation started,very vigorously, but then the krausen all fell away after about 72 hours. It was my first time...

So I am onto my 6th brew now, my first was a Festival Razorback IPA Kit, since then I have made a few American style IPAs of varying strengths, and flavours and a Belgian style saison, all from extract. I love my IPAs but I'm getting a bit bored of them, and I'm in need of some inspiration as...

I'm going to brew this weekend a session IPA. I'm struggling with my current APA which is about 6.5% as I love the taste, but its too easy to drink one or two too many and end up completely smashed! (I'm even more worried that the Saison I'm going to bottle this weekend might be pushing 7%.) So...

I sit of an evening in my living room, and I'm pleased to hear the occasion bubble and gurgle coming from my living room cupboard, safe in the knowledge that the wee yeasties are doing there job and converting all that sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide (but most importantly delicious beer)...
