    America's Own Reinheitsgebot Of 1667

    It seems that America had it's own Reinheitsgebot. In an old publication called 'A History of American Manufactures from 1608 to 1860' it states that the New England General Court ordered that beer be made with at least 4 bushells of good barley malt (61.6kg) to each hogshead (238.5 litres)...

    To Skim Or Not To Skim?

    I used to skim all of the foam off the top of the wort while boiling in the kettle, I read somewhere that it was protiens that should be removed just like the hot break etc. However listening back to the Brew Strong episode on Head Retention they suggested not to skim it as that protien could go...

    Most Abused Brewing Equipment

    Here's the most abused piece of my brewing kit... This is my first and still my only capper. I got it in 1991 when I first started brewing and it's still going strong-ish after thousands of hits with a hammer. Now I get splinters of wood flying off and the spilts in the handle are getting...

    Argh! How To Brew Is Offline!

    I just tried to access the http://www.howtobrew.com/ website but it's offline! It looks like the domain name has expired. I wonder if it's an oversight or a deliberate move to sell some books - which I completely understand if it is - he deserves to make some coin for all the awesome info he...

    Can't Post With Firefox

    Hia, Hopefully it's something basic that I'm overlooking but I can't seem to post anything through firefox - I can view and click on 'reply' but the browser won't allow me to select inside the pane where you type your message. I recently reformatted and reinstalled everything - I have spent the...

    Wanted - Simple Kit-based Lager For A Xxxx Fan

    Ok so I've almost convinced my brother to get into homebrew. He's real close I can feel it. He has no interest in making it complicated, in fact discussions of my processes, successes and failures have probably scared him off a bit. He has sampled a lot of different styles of beer on a few...

    Sodium Met. & Chloramine

    I've just started fiddling with simple water chemistry based on John Palmer's How To Brew. I'm adjusting my residual alkalinity based on my water report to match the style of beer I'm making - adding a measure of Gypsum for light lagers or a measure of Bi-Carb for darker beers. I've done the...

    Orval Yeast Culture

    I have cultured the yeast from an Orval bottle. After stepping it up 4 times over 10 days I have a visible, light coloured yeast sediment. Well I did until I decanted and fed it with some more wort. The smell I noticed was very similar to brewing with bread yeast, it reminded me of my late...

    Finally Ag

    After dabbling in extract brewing on/off since I was 16 I've finally gone All Grain. I've been collecting bits and pieces over time and I originally tried BIAG, inspired by Nick JD. My recipe was an ambitious Kolsch and my fermentation temperatures got all messed up. It's sour, fruity...
