    No Chill Wheat Beers

    Hi Guys, I've got a Pils fermenting, but the gravity has only dropped 10pts (1.054 - 1.044) in a week. Is this normal? It has been sitting at an ambient temp of 12-13C. Should I pitch a packed of dry lager yeast? Cheers, Michael

    Late Hop Additions When Nochilling

    Hey guys, I've been experimenting with late hop additions, such as cube hops, to mimic the late aroma additions of small and large brewers who are able to chill their wort fairly quickly.

    Missed My Og On My Ris. What Should I Do?

    Hi Guys, I was aiming for 1.10 OG for my RIS I brewed the other day. When I tipped the cube into the fermenter and took a sample I discovered that I had 14L of 1.070 wort, not 15L of 1.100 wort. How should I rectify this now? I can think of a number of options: Add cane sugar to desired...
