Can't Wait now, started bidding on a 19l Cornelius Keg. Thanks guys, I see that there is a lot of love for kegs and your own beer on tap.

thanks guys, seems like i'm thinking about it too much... Thats a great job for this week. :icon_chickcheers:

Hi, I have been thinking about making the leap and kegging my beer for a while. The main reasons for wanting to change is that I am finding bottling beer to be very tedious and kegging seems like the way to go. Kegging seems to be a very new world to me, and I would just like to get your...

I used saaz hops when experimenting, and since then I have used Mt hood hops and Stryian Goldings. This all seems very interesting, especially; "hop teas" which I will have to look into further.

I've never really appreciated the use of hop pellets in dry hopping as they are always difficuilt to filter out. As a result you end up with excess trub in the bottles or/and I'm guessing as you are suffering from, excess head. I always find that whole hop flowers are much better to use, as they...

Sorry, I will try to edit what I have said a bit. When I am talking about the differences between dry hopping and not, I am not meaning to say that the none dry hopped batch was not nice. It was just a subtle difference in taste and aroma between them. BOTH WERE LOVELY BEERS. What I should have...

Many books suggest adding a proportion of the hops late into the boil for interesting additions to the taste and aroma. However I have been reading and it seems that this is a waste of hops. One book that caught my interest on the topic was Dave Line's book "The Big Book of Brewing". In this...

If only... Yeah, I am using the Wyeast 1762 as the recipe suggests. This will be my first time trying any of the Belgian beers so I thought I would try not to deviate from the recipe. Where my creativity has gone I do not know. :lol: Well considering we are trying to clone the commercial leffe...

I'm going to be brewing this, this Saturday coming, I can't wait. :D Looks like a great recipe. But I would expect no less for such a nice beer.

No you shouldn't put hops in the hop bag. The hops need to be able to move freely so that the boiling action can remove insouuble proteins. By letting the hops move freely they act as a filter and collect the insoluble proteins

Yeah, I found that the ingridients (so long as you are not using expensive import malts) were cheaper when AG brewing than when using malt extract.
