Watching the cold break particulate drop out of suspension is always fun.
I did a christmas beer at the end of last year which used about 17lb of grain, so it was kind of in the territory you're interested in. I didn't...
Hi from a fellow UK brewer. I'm still at the plastic stage but your equipment profile sounds awesome! What's the batch size on your stainless...
This is purely anecdotal, but I made a similar kind of thing last year and got the same outcome - a pink-tinged beer which was positively...
Wasn't planning on brewing when I woke up this morning, but after a few last-minute changes of plan today I ended up throwing a blonde ale...
Wouldn't any oxygen introduced during mashing be driven off during the main boil? :?
We've got similar restrictions here on fluids - hand luggage you're limited to 100ml or less. I think 16oz/500ml bottles of beer would be OK in...
I've thought about taking some of my beer when travelling but haven't tried it because I'm worried about the bottles surviving the flight -...

Take your original advice to yourself - don't keep the sack in the shed. I keep my 25kg sack of pale in the house for exactly this reason....

Just finished bottling this one. Discovered just before starting that I didn't have quite enough 26mm caps left - so had to chuck the last couple...
Did this one yesterday. I changed the hop schedule around a little after reading a few articles about late hopping and it's effect on hop flavour...
