Hi folks, I had a Swartzbier made by Screwtop (all grain), which was fantastic. ;) Is there any way I could do something similar with a can and some grains? I already boil the can, use cracked grains in all my brews, and make my own hop additions. cheers Mike

Don't know why it happened, but it did. :unsure: :unsure: I put a brew down today, on top of a previous brew trub. Problem is that I did it without straining the hops and gunk after the boil..... yep... just turfed the whole lot into the fermenter. It was only when I was putting the last...

Hi folks... as a KnK brewer, what do you folks think of steeping grains? Since I started (only 6 mths ago), I have always been steeping and adding extra grains to my brews. I steeped 400 gms of Carapils last night to add to a brew and when I took a good look at it this morning (after it had...

Apologies for what is already a topic which has been done to the death... but I am a new brewer... I have searched, read about balancing etc and still cant get it right... After trying lots of different ways (force carbing), I eventually just left my keg on 300 KPA for 2 days, then lowered the...
