Anyone know exactly what it is and how it reacts to cold fermentation? Put down 1 today and planned on brewing it in the fridge at 4c - 8c for a few weeks, but as ussual the instructions in the kit are the generic ones for all kits. I am assuming that its a standard dry yeast that they put in...

my 6yr old son couldnt understand why the neighbours hung over the fence when i had my honey wheat on the boil. after careful explanation.... he now goes and knocks on their door when im about to start the boil to tell them!

Is this the little brown barrel from james squires malt shovel brewery that kinda lays on its side? seen them, but a mate of mine uses one. As far as i know they are just like a 23l fermenter, just 1/2 the size. maybe try brewing in a 23l following the same recipe, but know that you are only...

Krausen - Noun - The foamy, rocky head of yeast that forms at the peak of fermentation. follow the advice from above. Leave alone and dont stir while you see the "foam" or krausen. This means that the beer is working. The fact that there is no movement in your airlock simply means that the air...

beer007, when the guys talk about something beeing added "in the last 5 minutes" or whatever, they are talking about the pre fermentation boil. This is the point of the brew where the flavours and the fermentables are combined with the boiling of the hops to get the flavour of the beer the...

It would depend if you want to taste the honey in the beer or not? If you want to taste the honey flavour, I would add it during fermentation so it has more time to influence the other ingeredients
