Hi all, I have searched, read, watched videos, etc. etc. but need some help... I have a corny keg which will not hold pressure (tested using spunding valve). So far I have done the following: - Replaced all o-rings (2 on gas post, 2 on beer post, 1 on lid) - Lubed all o-rings with keg lube -...

I've searched a lot but couldn't find anything to assist. I recently bought a plate chiller and pump, and spent this morning giving everything a trial run as I'm planning to brew on Monday. I have my boiler (it's electric, around 35 litre capacity) on a chair, the pump and plate chiller...

Hi all, I misread the priming calculator and thought that you needed to enter the temperature of the beer at bottling, NOT the temperature of the fermentation. As I had lagered the beer (a Kolsch) it was very cold when I bottled it so my beers are very undercarbed. They are drinkable (just)...

Sup people, I am hoping you will be able to assist me with some queries. I brewed Edwort's Kolsch 3 weeks ago and was planning to lager it prior to bottling. I'm assuming it has reached FG but haven't checked yet, will do it over the weekend. I have searched the answers to all of these...

Howdy y'all As I am apparently excellent at my job, I will be given some extra cash in my pay this month. I am considering buying a couple of corny kegs but not sure whether it's worth it in light of the equipment I have at my disposal. Hoping for some advice... There is a 'spare' fridge...

Hey howdy hey my brewing brothers and sisters, As soon as I get paid in a couple of weeks time (I swear the months get longer and longer!) I will be putting in an order for some ingredients. I kind of want to 'future proof' my stash and not have to make a separate order for every recipe I...

Hi all, I have the following grains & hops and want to know whether the more creative amongst you can come up with a recipe for delicious beer I can make without having to buy anything else. I don't have any yeast but can pitch onto a cake of 1056 from my Black Pale Ale currently fermenting (or...

Hi there, I have some beer sitting in primary which I will bottle tomorrow (it will have been in there for three weeks and FG has been the same for the last few days). Having searched and looked at a few threads and how-tos, I know that I should be using 8g of priming sugar per litre of...

I want to brew a black pale ale (for want of a better term, I know it's ridiculous but not as ridiculous as Cascadian Dark Ale). This recipe is what I came up with. The only other malt I have is wheat malt, I have simcoe and amarillo hops but that is it and I don't want to have to buy anything...

Hi all, I will be brewing the Lake Walk Pale Ale per the recipe in this thread... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/lake-walk-pale-ale-32939/ This is only my second brew and I had a few queries: I'm using the free Hopville Beer Calculus recipe calculator to plug the numbers into. However I...

Hello all, My friend had to dump our first effort at brewing due to an infection early on in primary fermentation - it never really seemed to get going and ended up with some weird horrible stuff floating on top (looked like the photo in this article...

Hello all I am preparing for my first brew day this weekend with a friend (who only has 1 extract brew to his name) and have decided to jump straight into AG for my first batch (a maris otter / amarillo SMaSH). It will be a stovetop boil although we do have a converted coolbox mash tun...
