    Specialty IPA: Black IPA Black Shadow - Cascadian Dark Ale aka Black IPA

    Brewing this again tomorrow. Adapted the recipe slightly as ive found it finished a bit high the last 2 times i brewed it so hopefully a lower mash temp and a bit less crystal will combat that. Looking forward to it being in my christmas line up as i havent brewed it in a while

    WLP616 funky cider blend log

    I just bottles my first demi john a few weeks ago. Sampled a small drop, good flavour, slightly funky, not much sourness. Just waiting for it to carb up so i can give a proper evaluation. Topped the demi john up with more AJ and the fermentation had a funkier smell to it so hoping the 2nd gen...

    WLP616 funky cider blend log

    Yeah mines still bubbling quite a lot, as in bubbles in solution but seems to be slowly clearing out. No pelicile at the moment. Interested to see what the difference is on the second generation. Might be a bit impatient with 1 demi john to see how it tastes young too

    WLP616 funky cider blend log

    I got a batch on on Saturday using 616, fermentation was visible very quickly and then went nuts yesterday. Yeast head had subsided but is bubbling like nothing I've seen before. Looking forward to this 1. How long are you planning on leaving it to age?

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewing a porter tomorrow with a small amount of smoked malt in the grist to see if i can replicate the flavour of when malt was kilned over open fires. Only 1% in 25L but its a starting point, nothing to over powering. Going to mature this a long time

    Is it done? Should I bottle?

    When the gravity is stable across 3 days your beer should be done. As its lost a point per day, the yeast are still happy chomping on the sugars. You dont want to risk bottle bombs with packaging too early. Time is good for stouts anyway. You may have a lot of unfermentables in your beer so its...

    Stout help

    5 days is too early to make any decision. Leave it 3-4 weeks, taste it at bottling or kegging and make your decision then. Theres loads of bi products from fermentation still in the beer. It should clean up. Once packaged, leave it a few months again for the flavours to develop and blend. I...

    5L mini keg with Tap - how long does it last?

    I have a store bought 1 and 1 from my LHBS. I wrote an article on this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/easy-kegs-and-mini-kegs.html They last 3 or 4 days. Every pour sucks air in through the top so you start to oxidise your beer from the last pour. You can pour the first few without the top open...
