Yeah it's very refreshing. I was hoping to use whole fruit but if the quantities are massive that may not be an option.

Hello all, I was hoping to make a wheat beer and add some passion fruit in secondary to make something refreshing for the summer like the Kona Brewing Company's Wailua Wheat. My question is how much passion fruit or passion fruit juice should I use. any suggestions are gratefully accepted as...

My kettle is a keg altered in the usual way and it is obvious now that my burner is a pile of crap and is definely the problem. I hit my OG bang on after my first ever mash and sparge which was nice and now the beer is fermenting away. But do you think its even worth keeping when it never...

Everything was going great untill the boil. After 2 hours with the lid on I finally got a few bubbles coming to the top. Not eactly a rolling boil but i figured i'd drop in my hops and leave it covered for 15 mins. After 15 mins it foamed up so i removed the lid and went to watch tv. Checked...

Hello! I'm doing my first all grain brew next weekend so hopefully all will go well but I have a question. I'm using a keggel with a side mounted tap which results in approx 1 gallon of dead space at the bottom. I don't want to use a grain bag and was hoping that the spent hops would settle into...

I found this recipe in a Graham Wheeler and was wondering if any one has tried it out. I've seen guys using Cumin also with varying results. I'd love to hear any feed back / suggestions. Larger malt: 2900g Wheat malt: 2600g quaker oats: 300g Hallertau hops: 20g (90 mins) Saaz hops: 15g...

The place I usually get grains from has shut down. Homebrewing isnt huge over here. I have managed to get my hands on Malted barley from a brewery but even slightly strange grains are hard to get i.e. malted wheat. I was hoping some one could give me a name of a reasonable and quality supplier...

Is this a place you've used before?

Where is the best place to buy grains and hops online. I'm looking for a few strange varieties and having difficulty finding a good supplies. Also I am based in Ireland so if you could give me a few names of UK suppliers it would be great!

I just made an irish stout and it turned out good. I had a similar problem ie not knowing if fermentation had stopped. I checked the gravity and although it was a little higher than i would of liked it wasn't changing over 2 days so i deemed fermentation done. If you don't have a hydrometer its...

Anyone use this stuff for priming? It's a brown sugar with a "toffee like" taste taught it might add a certain "I don't know what" to my stout. Comments please!! :mug:

The recipe i'm using states a F.G. of 1015 which i guess is a little higher than your standard 1005 maybe because dark malt and roasted barley are used. does this effect anything?

OG was 1042

I don't have it under any serious pressure in the keg as I'm just using those little CO2 bulbs. I was hoping to bottle condition it with cane sugar after a week or so of conditioning in the keg but I'm worried that the bottles may go boom! what do you reckon?

I started brewing a malt extract stout with a live yeast that I got from an actual stout brewery here in Ireland. I guess the fact that the yeast was so used to working with the wort it's been getting since the late 1700's is the most probable reason that fermentation stopped halfway through and...

I just finished building a keggle and I am hoping to do an all grain brew in the next few weeks. Can anyone recommend a good gas burner for 5 gallon brews outside. Thanks very much! Is mise le meas.

Hello all.I've just finished fermenting a malt extract stout which seems to be doing well. I have 4 and a bit uk gallons of it conditioning in a 5 and a bit gallon keg. How long would you recommend leaving it sit and how many of these 10 cm^3 CO2 bulbs which i have should i put into the keg...
