    When To Pitch A Starter?

    Hi guys, I've got a WLP001 starter going that was a bit old and took a while to get going. It's now at 48Hrs and appears to be at high krausen. Does this look ready to pitch or should I give it another 24Hrs? When is the best time to pitch, at high krausen or after it's fermented out? Cheers...

    Torrified Wheat Mash Or Steep

    Hi Fellas, I need some advice please! I'm doing an Extract batch with a few specialty grains (Crystal, Choc Malt) and I want to add 200g of Torrified Wheat. Does this need to be mashed or can I steep it with the other grains? If it needs to be mashed, will there be enough enzymes in the...

    Brewing Sugars

    I noticed that a lot of the American recipes use corn sugar for bulk priming. Is corn sugar the same as corn syrup and are these also called Maltodextrin? I use dextrose to bulk prime with, what effect would using corn sugar have on the final product? Taste, head etc? I'd appreciate it if...

    Finishing Hops

    Do many of you experiment with finishing hops? I have found this to be a really easy way to add a little bit of variation to the standard off the shelf kit. I've been brewing on and off for about 2 years (about 30 kits) and this was probably the next step in altering the basic kit after playing...
