Parsnip wine is an english classic, great flavour, not as strange as it sounds!

On average how much gas does a burner use for say a 5gallon batch?

But 1kg of extract isnt equivalent to 1kg of grain ks it?

Due to my equipment available i am unable to do 5 gallon all grain batches so Im currently doing partial extract BIABs using about 4kg of grain and adding a minimum of 1kg of extract. I am getting about an 80% efficiency with this method. When calculating the bill percentage for each type of...

Im planning on making a Parsnip wine with 3lb of parsnips and 250ml of grape juice concentrate and was wondering if adding honey would b a good idea?

Im going to go with adding at flame out and see how it tastes will report back in a few weeks!

Will try out beersmith's strike temp and wrap it up and see how it goes!

Seems to be many opinions on this, i guess boiling would break down some of the more complex sugars creating more fermentable and therefore loosing flavour? Or is it only the proteins that can do this?

Do you find that you dont need to add any more heat during the mash? Do u cover your pot up with towels etc?

What strike temp would i need for a BIAB brew mashing at 65c

So if i go for half a can 225g it should b ok... do i add this before the boil?

Any 1 know how strong a flavour black treacle gives to a beer and the quantity to use in a porter?

Hi fellow brewers, Just wondering if anyone can give some advice on grain to water volume mash ratio for a BIAB. Is this different for an all grain mash?

Yeah its strange cos theres so much different info out there on home brewing and online its mostly from.the states. I have also heard that english ales have a quick turn around usually 2 weeks and into the barrel whereas in the states most people leave it 4 weeks. In the UK real ale is found...

Yeah may be a little sweet but still tastes good and is no where near ready! As said before im from the uk and will be brewing english style ales which generally are not big so i think a week minimum in primary will be fine for next time. Cant beleive how addicted i am to brewing it got me hook...

Is there any danger of loosing all of the live yeast by leaving it too long as you need live yeast for priming. (i have never force carbonated my beer and always seem to have enough pressure in the barrel/bottles)

So why is it different for crystal/carapils as they also have less fermentables?
