    Calibrating Equipment Boiling

    Hi Guys, I have done two BIAB brews and absentmindedly forgot that I needed to calibrate the equipment and update the equipment profile in Beersmith. So in an attempt to get it right for the third brew I did a few things after some research and funds to carry it out. Its basically a 50 litre...

    No chill question

    Hi guys. I'm in a situation at the moment where the brew fridge is full and so are my kegs :) I have avoided doing no chill for the time being, but whilst I have a few weeks off before I start the new job, I though I would try and bang out a few more brews. So it brings me to the point of no...

    On the hop.....

    Hi guys, I'm looking to brew an American IPA. But just thought I would ask the question in regards to dry hopping on an American IPA brew. The general consensus is that we dryhop 1g per litre. In regard to very hoppy ipas is this rule overlooked for more hoppiness? At what point does it get...

    Coopers Ipa - The Can That Just Keeps Giving

    I brewed with a can of this gold in a can a while back, and I reflected on the recipe when I created it. Admittedly, I was aiming for an American version of IPA but ended up with something more like an English IPA by accident. The recipe I used was: 1 x can Coopers IPA 1kg Light Dry Malt 400g...

    Northern English Ale

    Hi guys, I put down on the 3rd this month a northern English ale which has gone well with fermentation at about 18c for the first week. Nice healthy krausen and then the temp steadily dropped to about 16c. I invested in a heat pad and the beer has been sitting for about a week at a nice 20c. It...

    Cold Crashing

    Hi Guys, Ive got a lager brewing in my temp controlled fridge and its a week since it started fermenting at 11c. I was looking into cold crashing, and have seen a lot of differing points of view and am a bit confused.... I have never transferred to a secondary (and dont really want to with...

    Stuffed It?

    Hi all, I started my 5th brew on Sunday morning, and I wrote down what I did. I must admit that I was a little flustered and did not really prep myself too well. I thought I had sanitised everything but I think the batch is infected (photo attached) The brew consisted of: 1 x Black Rock...

    Broken Hop Bags

    Hi Guys, I was onto my fourth brew this evening, and everything was going swell when I was adding all the ingredients to my wort. Gave it all a stir and noticed the hop bag had broken in the fermenter. Will this affect the end result? and is there anything I can do to minimise hop ending up in...
