I’m keen to know what type you were keen to brew, and your recipe!

Great beer, I had it this time last year at the brewery. One of the problems getting a recipe is that I’m pretty sure it’s a new hop, that the brewers had signed non-disclosures on! Hope someone has some more info

Does anyone have the down low on when Galaxy 2017 is coming out? I'm so keen to brew with this beauty again

I'm in the process of setting up my keezer (I'll drop some photos as soon as it's done) and I've run into some psi issues. I've forced carb'd in the past with no problems, 30 for a day or 2, then drop to 12psi to serve. Bought one of these...

Listen to the most recent brulosophy podcast. They're talking about this very thing! They couldn't tell the difference between 2 beers brewed at wildly different temps. You might end up with a higher fg, and less alcohol, but it'll taste fine!

I've been following Brulosophy's keg carbonation guide (http://brulosophy.com/2014/08/20/from-carboy-to-cup-my-kegging-method/) But haven't had much success. I'm pretty much only brewing 11l brews, putting them into 19l corny kegs. How much do you think the added headspace filled with Co2 is...

So what I hear everyone saying is that I shouldn't brew a lager and then go away on holiday leaving it in the fridge. I've Brewer lagers before and left them for similarly long periods in primary. I'm still wondering if the bananary (good word!) flavours could have come deliberately from the...

I used the whole liquid sachet thing for the 10l batch. From memory it was pretty cold, under 15c

Hey guys. I've just done my first BIAB lager (done a bunch of ales before that). 2kg German Pilsner, 375g light Munich, with 10g halertau at 60,10,0. Used my first Wyeast, the WLP830 German lager. Started at 1.042, finished at 1.012. I've heard of banana as an off flavour mainly from...

Mate I've got a similar setup, but I only do 10l batches in the 19l pot. I just halve all the recipes, and find it easier to boil and chill a smaller amount of beer without all the fun toys. That is until I buy a wort chiller and a 40l urn!

Thanks mate, willing to share your recipe and any tweaks you'd do to it?

Alright, get the jokes out early. Blah blah, it's not beer. I recently had BrewDogs Punk IPA and loved it, then found all their recipes on their website. Interestingly I saw their Nanny State IPA, which is .5% from memory. Has anyone ever tried something like this? Particularly with a BIAB...

Hey everyone, I've just done my first keg, an Amarillo / cascade pale ale, and I've got some mouth feel issues. I kegged about 17 litres, and bottled 10 (330ml). Carbed at 30 psi in the fridge for 2 days, then dropped down to 10, for about the last week. When I've compared the keg to the...

Haha! Yep. Lost a hop hog. Well, I actually don't know if it's lost. It was frozen and has defrosted. I haven't tried any of them yet since the incident of 8.9.15. Are defrosted beers still viable? D80, the reason why I don't have a thermostat is because I'm lazy and had a timer sitting around...

What a stuff up! I'm using an old chest freezer on a timer to keep my beers cold, while the old fridge is used to brew in. It's been fine, no problems, until I thought I'd leave the timer on to quickly cool some beer but forgot to turn it off! You can probably see some bottles starting to...
