ON THE GALAXY FRONT. Be very carefull with additions of this hop in the kit you are using. It's a hop that will generate lots of aroma. I use it, but I only add a dry hop addition of 6g. I find this is plenty and will add a distincy character. Fear_n_Loath. cheers mate, your right its a...

quite like the look of that. on my "to brew list" now. stocks are always dangerously low at my house with mates keen for freebies. i was going a batch a week and that was just enough(none put away for aging though) but having just moved house ive had to stop for a bit and just starting to...

cold conditioning makes a big dif. i bulk primed my first batch that i had been cold conditioning for a bit over a week. syphoned from top down and left all the trub in the primary. i syphoned while it was still cold so there was a nice hard cake at the bottom that i didnt disturb at all. i was...

i still know sfa about grains but it said "light crystal 114-130" so im assuming 120 falls in there somewhere i think i steeped them too hot too :(. maybe about 80-90...... thought it would have lost alot of temp but after the 30 mins the thick pot im using was still real realy hot to touch...

+1 for water bath. im doing this as we speak untill i get a new fridge. would probly steer clear of lagers untill your fridge is up and ready. LHBS guy told me lagers are fine in bris heat..... first batch and was absolute rubbish. (that guy is no longer my local). best thing you can do is get...
