Indeed! There is a great BYO article on fruits in a beer, search their site for it. The bottom line is that after fermentation all you stil have a (bit of) fruit fragnance, (possible)color and a (lot/bit - depends on friut used) sour flavour. They said you should not antisipate a great...

Thanks, thats great tip to cut a bottom! Instead of bobby pin you can also use a plastic bag lock - no accident pin drops off anymore. Just my 2c ;) Cheers!

Hi cableman, Just couple of my 0.02s ;) I don't think a muslin bag caused the issue. Moreover, AFAIK dry hopping does not add a bitterness but only aroma. And last but not least, give it to sit in the bottles for month or more, it become better ballanced after conditioning. Cheers!

It might be a bit useless to sanitize anything right after boil, but won't hurt though ;) Cheers!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think I'll split this batch and try both s04 and wlp002 then. Good chance to compare side by side :) Thanks again!

Any1? Will for instance Nottingham or S-04 work well for english bitter style?

Gday, I have expired Festival Father Hooks kit (well, for the only 1 month, but anyway). Today going through the components I noticed actually the only yeast expired, rest of the goods look pretty fine (earliest BBE 09.2015). I also see a lot of messages all around here like "Throw kit yeast...

Hi steturbo, You can easily test if your barrel leaking gas or does not. Just to completely exclude the case of leakage. Just fill the empty barrel up with the air or co2 under the pressure and put into any sort of water filled container you have - bath, tube, another (bigger one) opentop...

Good catch! :mug:

Yes, I believe it was about it.

Hi guys, I have an idea temporarily to move to half- or1/3 batch size to make several samples to understand if I like those and want get whole 5 gals of them. It is going to be extract recipes (probably with grains), no mash. But some LME are going to be pre-hopped. I read BYO article...

That first time happened I just grabbed 1 quart glass jar (with a screw lid). But thanks, guys, for your suggestions, now I think I'm going to use something larger

Yes, sure it is going into a jar with about 1" of sanitizer.

Hi folks, 2nd day the foam is constantly goin through the blow off hose. Should I open a bin and take some of the foam off or just like Mr. Bean "sit and look at the paintings"?

Thanks guys, It is more or less started to make sense for me now, thanks alot!

Indeed :) They seems have their own math there :)

Great , guys, thanks for sharing your experience! It seems stopped at 1.004, just measured and drunk the samle :) What the excellent flavour! Fruity, intresting i'd say very light blossom-like aroma, a bit sweety but not much. No any alcohol-like or "sider"ish side flavours, no yeasty smells -...

Just a little headsup- It is bottled for 1 week already and all my changes against original coopers recipe was priming. Besides of dextroze I also added 25ml of mocha extract and 100 gr of maltodextrin. Today I cracked one bottle and... gosh! Thats already delicious, to me no need to wait...
