I recently brewed a Bourbon County clone recipe modified from: https://homebrewsupply.com/content/HBS%20All%20Grain%20Recipes/AG_INS_BourbonCountyStoutClone.pdf With my current set up, I can only handle an 8-gallon mash, so I used about 18 lbs of grain, 1 lb of table sugar, and 8 lbs of liquid...

Agreed! This is a best bitter bottled 2 weeks ago. I actually opened the first bottle after a week and found it was well carbonated and tasting delicious. Since then I've drank 4 or 5 bottles, all were excellent. However, those 5 were in a different batch of bottles that had been previously...

I noticed these little white globs floating at the top of some bottles and clinging around the neck of some others. If shaken the particles dislodge and mostly sink to the bottom. I drank 2 bottles to see if they were infected. Carbonation was normal and I didnt perceive any obvious off flavors...

I'm brewing a NEIPA for the first time and planning to bottle it. I've done a lot of research before attempting this beer. I am taking all possible efforts to eliminate oxygen exposure. I realized I could go as far as purging the headspace of the fermenter with CO2 while dry hopping by using my...

Indeed sir, you were correct!

Last night I brewed a Timothy Taylor's Landlord clone. Everything went pretty spot on as planned but the OG came out low and I don't understand why. Using BrewFather, I had an estimated pre-boil volume of 7.9 gallons, post-boil volume of 6.5 gallons, pre-boil gravity of 1.036, and post-boil...

Thanks a lot everyone! For now, having watched this video: I am going to try the recipe the guy used (which actually uses SafAle S-04): https://www.worcesterhopshop.co.uk/product-page/timothy-taylor-landlord-style-recipe-kit After seeing how this comes out, I will try the Northern Brewer...

I don't want to order it because the shipping price is 2x the price of the actual product. Thanks for the link!

I want to brew a Timothy Taylor's Landlord clone, but cannot get Yorkshire Ale Yeast. I can however get WLP English Ale, WLP English Dry, WLP British Ale, and Lallemand Windsor. Can anyone recommend the best substitute? I can't get any Wyeast varieties.

Good suggestions, thanks a lot!

I am looking to brew a hazy pale ale for an upcoming work retreat. I am going for something in between a regular pale ale and a NEIPA. I'd like to retain a little malt character (hence the 5% crystal) and keep the bitterness lowish. I'm looking for something that most people will enjoy...

Much needed advice! Thanks!

Hi, I tested it with a regular hydrometer. Then I drank the 4 oz sample, which did show great potential and was not overly sweet.

Thanks for the suggestion! I was not previously familiar with BrewCipher but I downloaded it and put in the beer information. It also estimated FG of 1.028. BeerCipher is great, I will definitely use it in the fufure. I will warm up the fermenter to 70 and check the gravity again in two weeks...

Expected FG with 75% attenuation via Brewfather

Thanks! You don't think its worth rousing the yeast? I'm planning to leave it 3 weeks in primary, but I'm trying to decide if I should rouse the yeast or not. I'm planning to raise the temperature to 70 degrees for the remainder either way.

Test

I've got an imperial stout with OG 1.118 in primary. Its a partial mash with about 40% of fermentables coming from extract/sugar. I added yeast nutrient at the end of the boil. I aerated before pitching, at pitching, and 8 hours post pitching. I pitched 3 rehydrated packets of Nottingham ale...

Its the following day and fermentation is slowing. Whereas yesterday during peak fermentation I needed 10 liters of ice to maintain 66 degrees, today only 3 liters of ice dropped it to 65. Really amazing to see the temperature output and how much it changes in a few days.

Oh man! This is amazing. Once I buy a house I will upgrade to this type of system. My dad loves to wire up all sorts of Raspberry Pi gizmos, I will solicit him for the job with promise of free beer.
