Hello all! Recently brewed and IRS which was aged in a whisky barrel and then kegged. It's been in the keg for about two months now and carbonation seems to have stalled. It initially came on very slowly and then plateaued at a lower then expected level. Enough so that the other keg in the same...

hello brewers, just relaying an experience from today with S04 yeast. pitched yesterday after work at about 18C. this morning it was just starting to bubble and temp had gotten up to about 22C. not wanting to let it warm too much, i put it in the fridge for a bit before leaving for work. as...

so im mashing in another porter. about 30min in and i just scooped out about 1.5L from the bag and put it in a pot. just about to boil. probably boil for 10min and dump it back in. from the small volume im boiling i guess i probably wont get too much out of it, but at least i'll have an idea of...

hey guys and gals, starting to notice a bit more condensation that normal on the inner walls of my chest freezer. its a ~200L with 140cm collar and some 'insulating' foam around the sides of the collar. just put a computer fan in it, but no auto timer on that so its on and off when i remember...

brewed up a pilsner last sunday and as i only decided to brew on saturday i didnt smack my yeast until brewday. didnt expect it to swell quickly, but no action for at least 24 hours and wasnt fully swelled up for three days. make up a starter, step it up once and pitched today. granted, the...

hey all, just posted in wayb but will ask directly here. couldnt get light crystal at the lhbs so picked up some dark munich instead. original idea was to go with 2kg jw ale malt and some light crystal for color but ended up getting 1kg ale malt and 1kg dark munich. the color promash puts out...

hey guys (and girls), thinking about trying something a bit different with my pale ale and am considering throwing in a bit of rye. dont want to overpower it, just enough to notice though. probably just some ale malt and the rye, then some dme to hit my target OG. would 500g be enough? and ive...

hey guys (and girls), i know this has been discussed, but between searches with 0 and 30 pages of results, i cant seem to find what im after. i couldnt quite fit all my dry hops in a hop ball, so tossed a few pellets in loose. now, as some of you could guess, my dip tube is blocked :angry...

hey guys, have been wanting to do a TT landlord type beer for a while, but all the research i've done suggests it may not be as easy as it seems. no problem, most of my recipes change a few dozen times before brew day anyway :rolleyes: so what i have settled on (for now) is some type of...

was thinking about taking homebrew out of the house now that i keg. i can fill a few bottles each batch, but thought it would be convenient (and look cool) to have a 2L growler, and just fill that from the keg as needed. anyone do this, and where did you get it from? would probably look at a...
