Hi folks. Just ordered myself a used corny keg and wondering where I'm going to get co2 from to charge it. I found these on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Co2-Bottles-Planted-Tanks-Aquatlantis-Opt-Base-Refillable-0-5-1L-/311112068317?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 Just owning if they...

So I pitched 2 packs of rehydrated bry97 into 5 gallons of black Ipa wort at 1.058. I did a very good job of airating the wort before I pitched. I did this 10 days ago and have kept the temp low, 15celcius to avoid esters. It started quickly and went mental. I had to attach a blow off tube...

Hello folks, I'm planning on brewing an APA tomorrow and was hoping someone might chime in and offer some sensible changes to my recipe as I'm fairly new to all grain. I want a really hop forward beer, but not overpoweringly bitter. This is what I'm planning: 4.2 kg marris otter 0.25kg crystal...

I bottled a pale ale about two weeks ago; my first all grain experiment it tasted good and hoppy out of the fermenter but when I cracked a bottle today I could barely taste or smell the hops. Any ideas what this could be about? It was a two gallon batch and I used 100 grams of hops. 10g...

Hello. Just tried a sample of my extract brew from the hydrometer pot and not convinced at its hoppiness. It's stopped fermenting but I want it to taste hoppier. Can I put a load of cascade hops in with it for a week or two to encourage the taste or will it ruin my beer? Cheers.

I just brewed up an Ipa last night and rehydratede my us05 yeast. I waited till temps were at 20 and pitched the yeast which was alive and kicking. Still not seeing any signs of fermentation. What should I do?

Hi all, I bottled my first batch of lager two weeks ago. I couldn't wait the twelve weeks recommended on the kit, and as it is already clear I decided to try one. It tasted a bit acidic and not very nice. Does this mean its spoilt or should I wait longer and try again? Cheers.
