I just brewed this in my GrainFather and the foam, OMG even during mash it was like "The Blob" coming up the sides Looks amazing currently though! It's boiling away :P Not using the Honey, and using english hops (Fuggles) and english yeast. Gonna bottle this once it's finished in a few weeks...

So I'm finally taking the plunge and doing my first Brett beer. I have opted for using WLP645 - https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-bank/wlp645-brettanomyces-claussenii I will be doing it as a 100% Brett only ferment from start to finish. The base beer is a mix of MO/Crystal/Flaked Oats will be...

Yup that's what I was thinking and possibly for wild yeast capture starters as well.

I had a porter I brewed up that was over a year out of date and that was perfectly fine. Just used new yeast. Completed that one last week [emoji6] Kits been kept in a cool garage. Malt packs not expanded. The pale ale kit is either a year or less out of date. Obviously the hops and yeast will...

So I was sorting out the garage the other week and stumbled across some beer kits I had laying around before I moved over to all grain and a Grainfather. They have expired well over a year ago. So the yeast will be shot to hell. Anyway I was thinking of doing an experiment. The kit I have is...

Hi, So my LHBC have set us a brewing task to brew a confectionery based beer. I really want to do a Chocolate Porter and then flavour it after its done. Possibly hazelnut. This is only a short batch brew. It's a gallon and a half. Sorry about the KG weights. I'm from the UK. Will something...

I have just started brewing an Imperial Oatmeal Stout It's 8.1% but it's got Oats in How would I log this for judging? Or am i screwed.

Ah cool thanks. Yer sorry about the measurements I'm from across the pond. I only have a small brewing setup. 5 gallon max total volume stovetop stockpot. Which is why I do short batch brewing or odd volumes. Which I then bottle. I will do as they say. Just brew it and see I'm also planning...

I finally worked out what happened. I got 90% or more efficiency out of BIAB Compared to 80%ish with normal methods. Hopefully get some good mouthfeel out of this.

Thanks for the information. I just put this brew on today. Something happened that confused me though, got a much higher ABV than I was expecting. From the ingredients. I got 1.051. When it should have been around 1.040 Got 12l of beer on the brew. Possibly after trub will get 11 or at...

These will be fresh cherries and the weight will be without the stones. Im told these are sweet and don't have much tartness. I will give them a taste before I purchase. Im after a bit of a cherry hit. If I have to double the fruit content I don't mind. If I need to change the...

So I'm getting into All Grain Brewing and want to do a small batch. My local shop LIDL has a very good offer on some cherries currently. Really nice and sweet. Can someone sanity check my first compiled recipe? I'm after a nice easy drinking cherry beer. Ideas, Corrections and that's insane...

When I do wine I sometimes have more liquid than will fit into a demijohn. Mostly due to miscalculation of water displacement by fruit pulp etc. As I use a big barrel to brew it all up in as I like to get the most liquid into my demijohns. Sometimes a litre or there about of good liquid is...

Also have just ordered some 71B Yeast and should have that by tomorrow :)

I don't exactly know how much juice I extracted. I do plan to use pectolase to stop the haze and aid fruit juice extraction. As I just mashed everything up in a big pot then simmered it for 5-10 mins I mashed up 4KG of plums and put them into the FV with currently 1.5 Gallons of water. I'm...

I have 5kg of the most awesome sweet Victoria plums fresh picked from a fruit farm over the weekend. It's all going in a big barrel and then will be split into two demijohns. I'm thinking of doing like a nice sweet plum wine in one Then a more spicy style in another demijohn (After it's all...
