<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">Have been dry hopping my last few brews. I think it adds a earthy. grassy flavour which is not unpleasant but not what I think makes beer taste better, I have remade my last 2 brews with the dry hop of the first ones...

I am going to try and make up some CPA stubbies with little sediment to be drunk straight from the bottle. Most of my tallies have a heavy cover of sediment but are drunk from a glass so no worries. Idea is to CC the fermenter to say 2 deg fill stubbies with one carb drop and return to the...

Hello all, I have two batches here about 3 weeks in the bolltes (Mex and CPA kits) carbed up with carb drops that have a ring of something around the inside of the bottle at the high beer mark. Have tasted the CPA and it tastes a bit cidery to me. Never had this ring before. Is it a infection...
