Just looked through this thread, and it has answered a lot of questions. Cheers

I would be using dry yeast. I got a 11.5g of safale 04. Just wondered what was best for a 2.5gal batch. I rehydrate my yeast now as well. Cheers for the input people

Hi all, If I am doing 2.5 gallon batches, can I use half a pack of yeast and save the rest?

This was a last min thing as my LHBS is closed. I'll definitely get a better system set up for my next brew

I just had the same thing happen so I had to make do with what I got and this is what I done.

I just use a primary as I don't have a lot of room in my house. I also dry hop in the primary but each to there own.

Cheers. I'll play around with a few ingredients and go for it

Cheers people. Ill look arround

My bro in law wants a wort chiller too so I'm gonna buy enough to make two chillers. This way it's cheaper haha

Haha sorry I just done a brown porter.

Hi all, for my next batch, as I've said before will be a BIAB. I went to my first beer festival here in the UK. anyway I had my first American pale ale and I got to say I was hooked. It was a sierra Nevada pale ale. I want to know if it's quite east to clone this beer and does anyone have the...

Congrats on your 1st brew! I'm relatively new to this hobby (4 batches in) and this forum is a great resource. Happy brewing

So I just finished my batch. Took me 4 hours!! From heating the original water up to pitching the yeast. It took some time to cool my wort which was about 4 gallons, and I used a lot of ice. Overall it took about 45 mins to cool. I think I might have to make wort chiller. It's the 1st time I...

Thanks for the replays. I done half at 60 and the rest at 15. Hopefully it will be good.

Hi I'm doing my first extract with steeping grains tonight, whens the best time to add my LME.? At the start, middle or end?

Cheers. Just got to find a recipe I want

Thanks for the replies. I wanna start doing 3 to 4 gallon batches so that I can do them more often. Which means more experience. Could I put 3 gallons of water in my pot with about 9 lbs of grain and once that has converted, remove the bag and drain and then dunk into my other pot at a temp of...

Hi all, At the weekend I'm doing a partial with steeped grains but the next batch I want to do all grain. I'm limited as to all I have is a 4 gal pot and a 2 gal pot. Could I do maybe a 3-4 gal BIAB? It seems to be cheaper and looks quite easy. I'm relatively new to brewing. If so any good...

Haha. The reason I started brewing is cost reasons. If I ever move i will have to consider brewing space. Like a garage.

I live In a small house and any available space is taken up. I only got a little cupboard under the stairs where I ferment my brews and that it's self is very small. I can't leave the bottles lying around the house as I have a son. I can only fit about two batches of bottled beer at a time...
