My only concerns when using magnets are: a) you're leaving it out in ~20 degrees for several days before using it b) having a magnet in the brew but this is a much smaller concern.

Ah the head pad was unplugged. Just too lazy to move it. I've noticed the FermZilla has an addon which allows you to add hops without opening it up. Seems like a winner!

Yeah i plan to dry hop in a purged keg but any tips on how to get the dry hops out after 2-3 days without risking oxidation?

I do plan to dry hop but only if the smell / flavour corrects itself. I'll be kegging.

Doing some more research, my guess is that i fermented at too high temperature.

Haven't been game to taste it yet. The samples i take are filled with hop trub and yeast cake.

Hey all, I recently brewed a NEIPA. OG was around 1068 and it's currently sitting around 1019. It took a couple days for the air lock to start doing its thing. I used 2 packets of New England East Coast Ale and fermented around 23 - 25 degrees (dont have a fridge to control it better). It's...

Makes sense - thanks. I've tried converting this recipe to metric and halving as I only have a 20L pot. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/318315/mango-blonde-ale-v2-2 Metric conversions below. Grain: 1.5kg American - Pale 2-Row 0.9kg American - Pilsner 37 1.8...

Makes sense - thanks. I've tried converting this recipe to metric, and halving as I only have a 20L pot.

Thanks all! Another follow up q: If i am taking a recipe and halving the amount of grain (due to only having a 20L pot) would this change the mash and boil time??

Thanks! Super clear. Couple questions: 1 - Is the chilling as fast as possible purely for the clarity? 2 - Oxidised beer. What exactly does that mean and what is the consequence? Thanks again!

Hi there, I am trying to emulate this recipe: Very Pale Ale - BIAB American Pale Ale Homebrew Beer Recipe - Brewer's Friend I'm a total newbie so struggling to translate into actionable instructions. Also, given I've only got a 20L pot, I'm making a few modifications. Is the below correct...

Heya, I brewed a Munich lager with a lager yeast for a few weeks at ~14 degrees celsius. I bottled it 1.5 weeks ago and have been keeping it at ~14 degrees. Should I look to move it to warmer temperatures are the 2 week mark or try and leave it at the same temperature? OG was 1040 Before...

I added a little more yeast from a packet I had under a munic lager tin. Probably a third of that packet. I do like dry beer so that's good but I'm expecting this to be a write off.
