    Beer / Gas (or any other) tubing

    Very random, I just want to know peoples thoughts on this. So the reason it's crossed my mind is I'm making a kegerator and I was thinking above how much O² Evabarrier beer line might diffuse if the beer is left in the beer line between the keg / tap on beers which aren't poured that...

    Hop Storage

    Obviously we all know flushed vacuum sealed hops will last a long while in the freezer and conversely hops stored at ambient temperatures in oxygen rich environments i.e air will stale pretty swiftly, some say 2 weeks however I believe it's much shorter. Does anyone know how hops deal with a...

    Silicone Tubing CO2/O2 diffusion

    Just a hypothetical question for a silicone blow off tube (ID 9mm OD 13mm), at roughly what rate would the blow off tube filled with 100% CO2 diffuse to atmospheric air / O2 and then eventually be fully replaced. Let's assume the length of silicone is 1m, the internal length of tubing holds...

    Phantasm Powder Alternative

    I want to give the Phantasm Powder a go however I am unable to get my hand on it in the UK and I don't think there are any alternatives available at the moment. Always one for experimenting, I was thinking about using Spinach Powder as an alternative due to it's own levels of GSH & CYS thiols...

    1.083 OG = No starter?

    I tend to use dry yeast because I can't be assed to make a starter for higher gravity beers and the outcomes are pretty good still so I never really gave it much thought. However I've just see the brulosophy pitched a single pouch of Imperial Capri at 19C in wort with an OG of 1.083. Brü It...

    Bottlers: Cold crashing with no oxygen prevention

    Just a question to my fellow bottle conditioning crew. For those who cold crash specifically without any real CO² or oxygen prevention methods how do you find your beers turn out and the longevity of said beers. I've made a range of beers from imperial stouts, Belgian Tripels to Triple NEIPAs...

    Mash out then overnight!

    To the much more experienced and knowledgeable homebrewers out there. In an attempt to save a bit of time on Saturday brew days, what I've been doing recently is on a Friday night I've been getting up to the stage in the brewing process where I've mashed out (biab), sparged (I know it's not...

    Can an overnight mash recover a too hot mash?

    Long story short...we'll find out soon! Last Saturday, I messed up a mash temp for my newest beer (Double NEIPA) and ending up mashing at 70-72C for 90 mins. I was trying to stir like crazy with my drill paddle (attached photo) to reduce the temp to no avail! So I thought **** it, I'll cover it...

    Bottle: What's this and why won't it come off?

    So I cracked one of my Dubbels after 2 weeks carbonation to see how they're getting on. And after rinsing and shaking right after, oxi cleaner soak with brush inside after even attempted a dishwasher I can't get these marks off. It's like cloudy white specs but in rings then goes up with gaps...

    Bottling CO² Vol limits theory

    The reboot is never as good as the original. And I know this has been asked so many times. I'm here for a discussion about the following. I kind of wish this subject had previously received a definitive answer to the question. (I think it's important to say I'm in the UK and have access to...

    Bottling a Hazy Session IPA

    Completely irrelevant but I am currently enjoying a Westmalle Tripel 👌. So on to my Session Hazy. Well what more is there to say. After my Triple NE IPA went surprisingly well. I wanted to try something which I could get more out of and drink more of rather than a 10% which was a struggle to...

    Bottling a Triple NEIPA

    Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow a long. Ask me any questions! The...
