Hey all! Hoping to brew a Black IPA tomorrow, pretty much decided on the hops (Willamette for bittering, Nelson Sauvin for aroma) and yeast (US-05 for a nice clean ferm) but I'm still undecided on the malts. I have a large amount of low colour Maris Otter, so I think that will be the base...

So, I had a genius idea that now may not be so genius. I brew 5l (1 gallon) batches mostly, and it seems a waste to use a whole packet of yeast on them. I recently managed to get hold of a few lab-standard airtight sample tube things, and I decided that instead of wasting half the packet of...

Been getting pretty stuck into SMaSH recipes (got a Maris Otter/Nelson Sauvin one on the go that I dry-hopped just the other day, smelling and tasting amazing!). Recently picked up a vial of WLP550 (Belgian Ale Yeast), and I thought about this as a recipe... (I BIAB with a 10-minute dunk...

Afternoon all. I was just browsing the forums and came across a pretty novel way of harvesting yeast without washing it - I don't have any mason jars but I have a porter that has finished primary fermentation that I would quite like to harvest a small amount of yeast from. Someone somewhere...

Hoping to brew this later today... Apologies in advance for the metric units, I was never able to get my head around Imperial, and have never needed to! New Recipe Imperial IPA Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 5.0 Total Grain (kg): 1.850 Total Hops...

Hi there. Just about to start the boil on my new single-hop Amarillo amber ale. I want to re-use the yeast cake from my brown ale, so I racked it to secondary while heating up my strike water. Will the yeast cake be ok after sitting around for 2 hours? It's a plastic fermenting bucket...

Has anyone had much experience brewing very small batches of beer? I'm talking 5l, which is about 1 gallon. The last two beers I've brewed have been this size batch, and I've run into a few problems, mainly with boil-off volume and losing wort to trub. I just pitched the yeast for a session 5%...

Hey there. So following the many good tutorials on BIAB, I decided to give it a go using my own recipe for a black RyePA. I'm afraid the grain measurements are in kg, but I've done my best to convert them for the benefit of US forummers... Here's the log I kept on BrewMate: (note it's a...

Hey everyone. I've been extract brewing for a while now, looking to take the next step at some point in the future. However, I'm a student on a budget! I've seen lots of articles on converting Rubbermaid/Coleman coolers into mash tuns, and I saw this the other day...

Hey everyone. My first ever post, so be nice!! I'm planning an extract brew, and this is the proposed recipe. It's based off the Joy of Home Brewing "Cheeks to the Wind Mild" recipe, but with added awesome. Hopefully. Anyway, will this be ok...? Zank Frappa (Coffee Mild) Original Gravity...
