Good evening folks. I just had my first swig of a Scottish 60/- that I thought was going to be under-hopped and just plain nasty. And yes my worst fears came true. So can I rescue 5 gallons of under-hopped (read non-existent IBU's) beer that has already been through the primary and two...

Evening folks - does anyone have any remedies for a severely un-derhopped 60/-? I just pulled a sample out of the primary (recipe says 1 week primary 1 week secondary) and I taste absolutely no hops. Was worried this was going to happen - when I added the hops to the boil I tried out...

Hi folks .... I'm going to attempt my first braggot this week. Actually this will be the first time I've done a recipe of my own. Usually I take the safe route and use recipes from people way smarter than me. Here's what I have for a recipe at the moment 9lbs honey (local wildflower)...

Complete brewing n00b here. But I've started probably as I mean to go on ..... disastrously. I have a 5 gallon batch of imperial stout on the go at the moment (my first ever brew). What have I done wrong so far? Well I learnt that it's probably better not to brew when you're having a...
