Where is local pickup? Hill Top could be anywhere HC

I keep my cubes in the middle of my double shed under a few old doulbe sheets. I have had them sit there for at least 9 months prior to brewing them and have not noticed any off flavours or faults in the finished product. Also, I currently have 2 cubes I am purposely aging for 2 years. One is...

According to this, Wiki article on Mash ingredients, Malt is kilned at temps ranging from 55-200C (depending on type of malt). Notably, Pale Malt is kilned at 95-105C (well above our mash temps). So from this, I'd say that the enzymes won't denature during kilning because the malt is dry while...

Eisenbock FTW It is a style I have been wanting to try. You're half way there! HC

Thanks HBB and DB, :icon_cheers: Since I BIAB, I would add them after I had pulled the grains getting ready for the boil. Which still leaves the question, how much do you use? HC

3 Questions, 1- When do I throw the hops in? I was thinking at the start of the mash or half way through 2- How much is a good guide to use? 30% is a figure thrown around but is it 30% on top of the hop bill or as part of the hop bill? example: 20.0 g East Kent Golding Pellet (4.7% Alpha)...

I tried Rogers a while ago and it reminded me of a weaker, slightly more watery version of their LCPA. So maybe use Argon's LFPA and 'water it down' to be about 3.8% It may be a bit more in depth than just doing that but, that is where I'd start. Actually, I'll add this to my 'to brew' list. HC

Excellent, thanks for the replies Tony :) I have a dehydrator on the way! HC

How long do hops take in a dehydrator? Do you have any tips in doing it? Many thanks HC

Good point, CO2 refillers wont touch them!

Gas bottles have a 10 year expiry on them (other than fire extinguishers, if they are to be used for putting out fires, have 5 years) So it has about 2 years left on it. UNLESS, It expired in 2003 then what I just said has absolutely no relevance to this ebay sale. HC

I'll need a squirt of CO2 to push out my beer if I bring my latest beer along. I can bring ice too. HC

Does anyone put the spent hops from brew day on/around their hops as mulch? Just wondering where to put them all HC

Hi all, My mate has had to pull out of swapping thus leaving a spot open for someone else I have cross posted on AB HC

Hi Captain, I did a double batch and fermented half with US-05 and half with Coopers yeast. The difference was like chalk and cheese. The Coopers yeast really makes this beer as it rounds out the flavours really well and if you get your temps right while fermenting you can get more or less...

I use one of these and I rate it. I got it from Mitre 10 HC

Now, that's brew porn!

Here are my second year Cascade hops. I have them planted in a 100L container. I'm pretty stoked, they only had 2 bines last year but I just counted 6 sprouting out today :D :D they look purple! Is that normal? I only got about 80g dried from them last year but they were great for my...

Looks like they have it under control down there. I suppose they have no problems lagering their beers! :lol: HC
