I've been brewing for about a year, and done about 30 brews. Been venturing into AGs, and there are loads more variables for you to be able to control your brew, which is great. However, recently time is at a premium, and beer is becoming scarce, so I thought I would repeat a couple of my...

Lager and lemonade is a "shandy", the name says it all.

Used to work in a pub in Liverpool where they always have lime, orange and blackcurrant cordial on hand. From what I can remember, a dash of lime went in larger, blackcurrant went in many things like cider, snakebite (otherwise known as a pint of diesel) and even Guinness on occasion. I guess it...

My pregnant wife doesn't like the smell. I just don't get it.

Not sure if it is quite what you are after, but I always find this one useful also http://www.kotmf.com/articles/maltnames.php

Nah, they say Guinness doesn't travel well :drinks:

Me and my Irish stepfather were not allowed in to an Irish bar in Perth a few years ago over footwear. He argued the toss (he's a solicitor) and they let us in, think we were the only two in the place who had ever been to Ireland. Irish pub with a dress code?? Never seen it in Ireland.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ :lol:

Link not working on BIABrewer, but I got these volumes off BeerSmith, so I will stick with them. Working link to the spreadsheet would be good, though (says I don't have permission to access file).

So, if I am only planning a half (10L) batch, which involves about 5kg of grain, all I need to do is boil with about 9-10L (2:1 ratio??) and sparge with about 5L of (hotter??) water and there should be no issues? From what you guys have said, the only problems with high gravity BIAB will arise...

Hi all I have recently purchased a 40L Urn and made myself a BIAB bag (at least, I told SWMBO what to do) and made my first All Grain (care of Dr Smurto :icon_cheers:) which is waiting to be bottled. For my next brew, I had been planning to experiment with a small batch of something different...

Norfolk and chance.

Yup, I only drink because I need to empty enough bottles for my next brew, so surely I don't count as an HFA.

1. I use US05 which is dead common and equally good. 2. Yes 3. Don't worry too much about them, you probably won't notice a difference anyway.

Just open a microbrewery and be done with it!

Black Soldier Fly larvae. The flies are harmless and only survive long enough to mate, and the larvae love anything which is composting.

Have been browsing for some info on this problem but can't find anything specific. I have just started making some yeast slants to save a few pennies on the good quality yeast, but the only Test Tubes I could get my hands on have rubber bungs rather than screw on lids. I made the slants...

I had a go at brewzor, but without the timer I didn't really see the point. Much easier creating brews on a full scale PC. I just want to be able to use my phone to schedule the recipe and take notes on brew day so I can avoid splashing a laptop. Will have a go at some others and see if they are...

Margaret River --> Northern Ireland --> Liverpool --> Now brewing in Dunedin at the (almost) very south of NZ. At least we don't need to refrigerate our lagers down here :super:

'S allright, I'm Aussie anyway, but still can't get the NZ option to work. :blink:
