I thought I would share my first experience using WLP023 Burton Ale yeast. So I made a ESB on Saturday (OG 1050) and pitched a 2l starter of WLP023 on Sat afternoon. The starter was very active when pitched and had been on a stirplate for 48 hours non stop. It is the first time I have used this...

I am hoping for some thoughts on this recipe I am developing. I’ve not done a beer like this before so open to any ideas. Objective – Use ingredients I have on hand, make a nice summer wheat American Ale with some freshness and dryness. Avoid the classic german wheat flavor from traditional...

I am going to brew a Pilsner and its my first crack at any type of lager or cold fermentation. I have created my grain and hops bill from some limited reading but cant seem to find too much on this and there are so many differences to all recipes i have looked at. How does this look to those...

Hi all I have a small aeration filter i got from the local fish shop. It works really well with a little plastic tip that distributes the bubbles and comes apart for easy cleaning. Since using i have noticed mush faster and stronger fermentations. I have used it in about 3 brews and to date...

Hi all Thought i would share with you a small test i did last night. I am from a cooking background and instinctively endeavour to waste as little as possible. I have always thrown my BIAB grain out into the bin since i brew in my wifes photo studio and the compost is at home. After my last...

A few days ago I bottled my 3rd BIAB All Grain. It was a clone of Tony's Little Creatures Bright Ale using yeast US-05. I also no-chill. I am really happy with the taste and aroma but unfortunately the beer is very cloudy. I am a bit disappointed with this as I tried to get it nice and clear...

Hi all I am after some help... I have done 2 * BIAB AG brews now and have had the same taste appear in both. The background is that the first one I did I had some trouble transferring the hot wort into the N0 Chill cube so I basically poured it in and as a result it splashed around quite a...
