I really don't do lager but am coming under a bit of pressure to get one done so, little help please? I'm looking for a simple recipe using as much of what I have as possible, I will push the boat out and buy correct yeast :) I have lots of Vienna, Lots of Munich, Lots of Extra Pale, mountains...

I'm very familiar with Thailand but the craft beer scene is really in its infancy here. It's great to see the changes each time I get here though, feels like a front row seat watching something amazing happening right in front of me. This is Underdog micro brewery in Samut Prakan, just outside...

Man, it's good to have some cider about the place again

Just working on some new graphics for the bar and thought that one or two might find the archaic and quirky old English units of measurement interesting. We will get this printed on some sort of rigid material and it will become part of a brewing collage that will cover a wall. When I first...

Any thoughts or experiences? I'm scratching around for some more volume and just thinking that adding water to the fermenter before pitching might be the way to go. I know that the big brewers here liquor back post fermentation and have always thought it one of the reasons why so many...

Any thoughts or recipes?

This popped onto my radar a few weeks ago, I think about 6 weeks but it feels longer :) , it was a little tapas bar that had run into the end of its life and would I be interested in having a go at doing something with it? It's very much the wrong time to be adventurous I think - covid wasn't...

Any experience? I'm being offered some at good money but have no notion of what they're like. I'm currently very interested in quite progressive single hop brews so we have a Citra and an Amarillo on the go currently, probably a Cascade next and I'm wondering if a Sorachi Ace single hop beer is...

I know, right? But it's quite a thing over here at the moment and we have a beer and cider festival next week so I'm thinking about an alcohol free cider and have no clue. I see these products in my daily stocktaking life and they always make me smile. Surely they're just carbonated apple...

Any thoughts or recipes? I have some Pilsner malt that I want to use up but I'm not much up for the whole lagering thing, plus I have no lager yeast. I have lots of other malts, plenty of Saaz hops and lots of other hops as well so I'm thinking of a lager-ish profile with an ale yeast. I'm...

I think there's a lot of interest in CAMRA and people don't get why I'm so anti-CAMRA, so in partial explanation... Published in 2017 (written in 2016) and I haven't changed my opinion at all.

Does anybody else look at yield? Just wondering if there's any efficiency to be had in my process somewhere. I typically brew 80lt batches, that gives me 74lt into the fermenter and then 3 x full corny kegs or casks - whatever I'm doing. If I do 3 kegs I'm going to end up with 32 x 500ml...

What happens at home brew clubs? I was asked today about starting one but have no real idea what goes on. I'm thinking bottle swaps would be quite neat and maybe brewery tours but we don't seem to have any active ones around here so I've no experience of them at all. Any thoughts?

Any experiences or thoughts? I'm really enjoying the cider making process and would like to try something different. Just bag some pellets and pitch them into the fermenter, or the keg?

Got a call a few weeks ago from one of our local real ale pubs. They have a brewhouse on site that's been stood idle for a couple of years, it was pretty much time to brew some beer or stick the kit on ebay. It's a serious step up for me but I've been around commercial brewing for a while now...

Morning all, Gave myself a minor heart attack yesterday thinking my oatmeal stout had stalled/stopped at 1.020 when I was expecting 06-10 but then remembered the lactose! Is there a calculation to help me figure out how much 1kg of lactose would add? Also, as it's added at the end of the boil...

I have a bag of each and would like to have a go at something with them both in next week. I'e used Munich and really like what it brings but Pilsner is not a malt I'm familiar with. I don't want to brew a lager so the question is are there any recipes or thoughts out there on an ale of some...
