This is a tad weird, considering in the very last reply i was in for the case. But i think my spot would be more appreciated by one of the stand by's. So first on the list can take my place if they want. My motivation for churning out a batch on such a largish scale is a bit low at the...

As stated before its a non issue at this point. I always think my beer particularly my lagers tastes like white wine until its finished secondary in the bottle. Its weird, must be the combination of the temp, the ferment by products and the lack of carbonation. Will

One thing i've done to remove the blockage when filling the cubes with hot wort is to kink the hose creating a blockage then squeezing it to pump the wort back into the kettle, helping to remove a blockage. Its a bit weird to explain, but if you kink the hose when filled with hot wort you'll...

Nifty's Cali Common I had you beer last night Nifty and it was a very nice beer. Nice clean taste, with a moderate and appropriate level of hops and with a decent dash of fresh malty graininess. Whilst others didn't personally rate the carbonation levels, i thought it was spot on, giving it...

Hi Coodgee, Relax, it'll come through in due course. My password was sent through after a day or two. It'll be worth it. The delay is pretty normal. Will

Do you guys think that Nottingham brews with any discernible tartness to the brew? I gave it a shot with Yeast from the Jovial Monk for two beers and they tasted slightly tart, which definately hindered my ability to drink it. I'm more inclined to think that the problem wasn't the yeast...

Ok, hopefully my poor effort can encourage some reviews to happen. Sticklers Bitter. A nice pale amber colour, with a nice level of carbonation which I have been unable to hit so far (How much priming agent to Litres did you do when you bottled?), with good clarity and with a nice gentle...

Hi Jason, Just a couple of points. When you apply heat to it CO2 is coming out of your beer. Generally the higher the temp, the more gas will come out of the solution. So the yeast may not be producing CO2, but the CO2 that has already been produced is just coming out. The rule of thumb is...

Hi Guys, here's my findings from when i bought my handheld immersion element from tobin. I boil in a 40L stockpot insulated with a camp bed mat, and it boils 30 litres at 3 litre evaporation an hour. I also use it in a plastic fermenter for a HLT during the sparge using a chinese metal steamer...

As with pretty much everything in life there is two schools of thought. With Cold and Hot break its exactly the same. Leave in or filter out. I subscribe to leave it in. I don't notice any difference and it makes the process easier for my equipment. Some references states that some cold break...

I must say i don't filter my water, but i must say all this talk has got me thinking. Did anyone pursue the technique submitted by dane in 2003 using the Brita water filter, did it work......, all should i just go with the method you guys are referring to ie though a inline filter casing...

Apparently washing the shirt inside out helps prolong its life too Will
