    Oxidisation during Lautering.

    Quick question. Is it ok for me to lauter into the kettle without a hose and allowing it to splash? I've been doing this for a few brews no problems but saw Palmer saying you should minimize splashing. I thought that oxidisation is not a problem preboil. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Hop Combination (Mosaic, Challenger, EKG)

    Gents, I'm thinking of making a very aromatic English type pale ale. I recently tried mosaic hops are really liked the aroma. Do you think the Mosaic/Challenger/EKG combination would go good? I'm dumping large equal quantities of them all in around the 15min and dry hopping with the rest. Has...

    Decoction Mashing -Quick Question

    Mash pH reading

    Hi all, I was wondering when the correct time is to take a mash pH measurement? I want to check this ongoing to make sure my salt additions are in the ballpark. I first through it could be as soon as I've added the grain but I'm assuming there must be some time delay before the salts react...

    First AG Batch

    Evening, I'm a new member and just did my first AG batch. Was a lot of fun and I learned from it (like checking my kettle for water tightness, the steel wall had a pinhole in it that I discovered and That really threw a spanner in the works). I had a few questions after it and it would be...
