Ive searched and searched so I assume people just dont do this....but.... Due to space etc. I dont have equipment to house my new corny keg at a low, consistent temperature for its week of carbing. I have two options; 1. Having it on my balcony where at night it will get nice and cold...

So last weekend I had a big brewing weekend where I brewed 3 days in a row. What a luxury! Next weekend I have a day which would work out well to brew again....but I dont have the space for a fourth! So the question is....which of the 3 will lose the least coming out after 2 weeks. The 3 choices...

I know, I know.... there is a lot of advice available regarding efficiency including a great post pinned in this section. However, i'm struggling here. I'm following all advice reasonable to my small homebrew set-up and still coming out with 55-60% (brewhouse) efficiency, over a range of...

Ello folks! Right now I make a decent, simple IPA with a fresh ginger twist but Im looking to give it a bit more of a kick. Anyone with experience using fresh chillies? or jalapeño? maybe an idea of boil time? and % quantity? Thanks for the advice! David

Hi! Wondering if someone with wiring experience can help me.... I bought equipment to make a stir plate from another website before realising their instructions were way too vague. I have, 1 fan, red + black wires 1 potentiometer, 3 connetions 1 on/off switch, 2 connections 1 female adapter for...

Hi! Just want to experiment a bit with additions to maybe progress a bit with the brewing. To be honest I bought this stuff cause of the promises it makes.... pH 5.2 cause it stabilizes any water regardless of starting pH. Then Calcium Chloride cause it said it will give 'a soft full flavour...

Background; Right now I use a homemade immersion chiller - standard copper piping set-up, nothing fancy. Im a bit obsessive about water consumption so instead of a tap blasting through water and it just heading down the sink I go for gravity assist and collect the water to use for cleaning the...

Hi! I pitched Brett Brux Trois Vrai WLP648 four weeks ago into a giner brett IPA. There was no visible activity after 72 hours but I left it, repeating to myself that 'no airlock activity doesnt mean no fermentation'. Then I just never got around to doing a gravity reading.... 4 weeks later I...

So I do not have the space or the equipment for dedicated refrigeration (YET...)...but summer is round the corner and I wouldnt mind some lighter crisper brews to enjoy in the sunshine. So I did some looking around (and some drinking) and found some info saying that a Koelsch could be...

I have just had my first taste of my latest all grain brew which was a blonde. Oh dear oh dear. After 3 sips hoping I would suddenly realise its brilliance I had to admit defeat. The taste is hard to describe. It was a heavy almost rotten bready flavour right at the back of my tongue. Really...

Hi! I am new to all-grain brewing and have read a lot about secondary not really being the way anymore and instead just leaving in the primary for longer. I have a glass carboy ive been using for primary and was thinking now to syphon into another vessel with a tap I can use to make bottling...

Hi! Just completed my first all grain brew... everything went relatively smoothly apart from one thing. I prepared 19 litres for the mash intending to finish with 16 litres after boiling. In terms of proportion the same as what seems to be a common 6 gallon to 5 gallon ratio. I poured 14...
