Hi all. I am a small batch beginner brewer and have a few Qs. I've got some beer fermenting that I made recently. On Sunday it will be two weeks since I made it so I had hoped I'll be bottling then, however it's still slowly bubbling so I assume it's still fermenting. I don't have the tools...

Hi everyone During the lockdown, I got into brewing small batch 1g and thanks to all the wonderful help on this forum, I got some pretty decent results. After a few months off brewing I decided to brew on Saturday but it was/is a disaster and I wonder if you can help me salvage it. In a...

Hi guys. I was about to bottle this and have only just noticed it's quite different from other beers I've brewed... Loads of weird floaty things. Are the small balls mould? And the flakes? I dry hopped it twice but this stuff doesn't look like hop particles to me. One thing is that I...

Hi guys. This weekend I'd like to make the beer below. I am a huge fan of the real thing, and since Brewdog released all their recipes online for free I thought why not. Naturally I have a few questions! 1. Some of the grain is hard to find at the moment. My local shop says to substitute...

Whenever I dry hop I don't feel convinced the hop pellets are properly dissolving and adding flavour. Would it ever be ok to shake the vessel or stir them in?

HI all My partner loves violets so I am considering a violet flavour beer. Has anyone ever used them? I can't find any mention of them on the recipes area. She doesn't like sweet tasting violet, so I'm reluctant to use violet sweets, palma violets or syrup - I was considering using dried...

Hi there, I'm just starting out. I've seen various carbonation drops on the market and wondered if any of you experienced brewers had an opinion on them? I'd like to start using them if possible as it makes things a bit simpler when bottling. Thanks

Hi there. I'm new to all this - I've now brewed, fermented and drunk two of those Brooklyn one gallon kits. They were ok, but the ABV was much lower than it says on the kit. The first was was the New England IPA kit which says 5% on the box, but I got OG 1042, FG 1021 (2.76%). The next I...

Hi guys a lot of websites say to replace the blow off tube with an airlock after 2-3 days... Why is this? Does it matter if I don't bother? Thanks Jonny

Hi guys. I'm a bit confused. In the one gallon brew I am doing tomorrow I'm using a sachet of US 05 yeast. Now, it says on it that the sachet is 11.5g and it's to be added to 20-30 litres of wort. I like a strong ABV so I'll calculate it as per 20 litres. A few sums - 20 / 11.5 = 0.575g...

Hi guys. I am brewing a fairly basic citra/mosaic IPA on Saturday - stove top one gallon. I'd love to add some orange peel but not sure exactly when. I've heard some people say during the boil and others say add to the fermentation (after being sanitised in vodka). Any advice would be...

Hi guys I do stove top 1 gallon brewing. When a recipe says to add hops at "0 mins" does it mean right at the start or at the end of the boil? If it's the end, then won't the hops literally only infuse into the wort for the amount of time it takes to cool before it's strained out going into...

Hi everyone I am new to brewing and have a few questions. This Saturday will be two weeks since I brewed and my 1 gallon demi jon is still bubbling every 20 seconds or so. Today is Wednesday so I only have three days until I bottle on Saturday. If it's still bubbling every 20-30 seconds do...
