I know if I were fly sparging I can sparge to a gravity of around 1.010 before I need to worry about extracting tannins. Is there a similar rule of thumb for batch sparging? Just how heavily can I sparge in bathces?

I'm trying to construct an AG recipe for CPA for an English brewer who fancies handing something Australian around at summer BBQ's that isn't a can of Fosters. I'm not looking for a clone, just soemthing to style that mimics what a hypothetical competitor to Coopers might sell if there was more...

CAMRA's Champion Beer of Britian is Crouch Vale's Brewers Gold, the first time a beer from what is essentially a newly recognised style (Golden Ale) has won the award. Also known as British Summer Bitter (a sub-category of blonde ale) by the BJCP, Golden Ales only have a 20 year history in the...

Just a little report on BrewGoliath's new business method. Made an order last month and although I felt a little dubious dealing with an online business I was pleasantly impressed. The same Dave Stewart level of service was provided and delivery was prompt. I was one happy camper, then one...

Can the collective run through the theory behind formulating a sound British Bitter. I know Marris Otter is the preferred malt, and keep the crystal below 5%, and use a pedigreed liquid yeast. Are there any other parameters to keep in mind?

I have two (cylindrical) stainless steel vessels (height 400mm, diameter 400mm) that I intent to use a a HLT and copper and I want to install elements in them both So a few questions for the collective: 1. Bolt on or screw in? 2. Needed wattage, I've tried a 2400W over the side immersion...

Bought myself a Stokes SG3, a 2400W over the side immersion heater element. Tried it out last night on 40L of water, only to discover that after 4hrs, the heater could not bring the water to the boil:-( I guess the dimensions of my kettle are the cause of this (Hieght 400mm, Diameter 400mm)...
