I sure do hope its green. Nothing worst then putting in all those hours brewing, all that care to end up just dumping it. say if it wasnt green however, would there be anything i could do?

I bottled my beer a couple days ago and i sampled it today to find that it has an off flavor. Its strange to describe but its eliminated the flavor, keep in mind i sampled it before bottling and was pretty good. I used half a teaspoon of dextrose per 375ml bottle to prime. Im not sure if the...

I've done that and fits perfectly. thanks mate. Can I use some kind of tape to make my manifold more rigid as oppose to soldering?

Hey lads, I have been building a new mash tun as my old one was small and could barely do partial mashes so any way I've built a 26l mash tun. So I'm having difficulty working out how I'm going to attach my manifold to my ball valve. I have got 1/2 inch copper T piece that I plan on attaching to...

all yeast is bacteria.... i made some goon one day back in my prime [fermented fruit juice with some dextrose] it took a week to ferment, not bad floculation in my experiance, it even got to around the 14% ABC mark!! hoevever, it did not taste too good, nor did it age well [it got ****ter] had a...

Is their any way to work out how much of this harvested yeast to use in a 5 gallon batch?

If i were you, id brew a Kolsch, maybe half ounce magnum for 35 minutes and your choice of aroma hops.

im not sure how you Americans like your beer, but i swear by pride of ringwood. chuck in half ounce for 60 min boil. try using some cara malts too, good for this style ive found out.

The yeast strain i used is low floculation, plus i got some hop sludge aswell included. by the looks of it i will wait 3-4 weeks, im keen to taste this beer though so i will bottle a couple :D i simply cannot wait!

I dont keg though so wouldnt the yeast die out after 3 weeks? ill leave in primary for a week to play it safe.

just a temp solution, chuck some dextrose in there?

thanks. should i need to rack into secondary?

I brewed my first partial mash the other day, its fermenting like crazy so im sure i got most of it right, a tiny bit under my desired gravity but that will improve. My problem is that there are floaties in my beer and no matter how long i let it rest they wont settle down. is this normal or did...
