Brewing With Total Confidence

Hoping there are some Grainfather users who might be able to help with this one. I've recently moved house and try what I might I cannot get the...
Update. Tastes great. Nice tropical aroma and flavour and no boozy notes as per the 7.5% version. Definitely making this one again as it won’t...
I got my hands on a couple of jars of local honey and would like to have a go at making a "session" mead. Having listened to the recent BeerSmith...
I'm not an expert by any means, but I think the answer is that, unless you're leaving the beer in the keg for quite a while, there will be no need...
Thanks all, helpful advice as always! I'll cold crash for 48hrs or so and then bottle up as normal.
I’ve only cold crashed once before and got very confused about whether and how to adjust the amount of priming sugar for bottle conditioning. Is...
Yes smells and tastes normal. I’ve brewed this recipe before and had quite a bit of break but not lots of krausen in fermenter. That said I was...
This is what I saw having dry hopped. Are the big lumps just clumps of yeast? There seem to be a lot of them throughout the beer. The yeast in...
Thanks all. I've posted the full recipe and some little details about the brew day on my blog:...
This looks like a great recipe, I may try it some time! Can I ask what the acidulated malt is for?
Thanks for the advice all. I've decided to try a lower ABV version of the recipe in a 15L batch and came up with the following: 3.4kg Golden...
Copy that, thanks!
Thanks, though I was also interested in how I might try to preserve the balance of malt and hops in the flavour of the finished beer, having made...
I brewed a tropical IPA not so long ago. The full recipe is below, and there are some tasting notes on my blog here. I'm looking for advice on...
Cool. I could do a 10g FWH and do the hop stand at 75c, avoiding adding any additional bitterness at that stage. That gets me to roughly 40IBU...
Essentially, yes. The idea is to get the target IBU but with a slightly softer, less harsh bitterness and maximising hop flavour and aroma.
I love mosaic so thinking of trying a SMASH beer with it. Here is what I’m thinking. Grain: 100% Maris Otter Hops: 20g Mosaic at 15, 10 and 5...
Good to know, thanks for the advice. I hadn’t realised this yeast was considered a lager yeast given the temp my recipe suggested for fermentation.
Coming late to this but I've recently started writing a few articles about my experience of home brewing at www.arthursbrewhouse.wordpress.com and...
Thanks, glad you like it! I'm writing mainly for my own records right now but hoping the site will become a resource for others starting out in...
