I have built anything for some time I have a GF now, it's a competent system but simply less fun than my own efforts as a result I'm again thinking about building a 'thing'. I'd probably use CBPi to control it as it's well supported and I have a Pi to hand. The Countertop Burtus20 (my first...

Afternoon All. I have been asked to filter some beer so a barbarian (my son) can drink out of the bottle. I have two corny kegs, a counter pressure filler and most of the other bits but I don't have a filter nor do I know how to set up and use one. I know that there at members here who filter...

One of the biggest DIY chains in the UK is struggling people seem to be doing less. Aamcle

Good point, when I have no chilled I forced all the air out of the container. More though needed...... Aamcle

I have noticed that since the advent of cheap GrainFather type systems the number of build posts and probably the number of new builds has dropped right off. I have a GF and haven't cut a hole in a pot for years. However I finding 23litre of beer to a batch to be a bit boring, other than some...

Giggs, if I read the recipe correctly the Raspberry extract was added at bottling is that correct? Did the extract have any fermentable sugars? Thanks all. Aamcle

I am inclined to do a smaller batch :) aamcle

I have a kilo of raspberry puree leftover from the Raspberry Wheat beer I brewed and I would like to do something with it. I'm not interested in lambic/sour beers I'm much more interested is a Stout or Porter in the 5 to 6% ABV range. I'd appreciate any recipes that you have brewed and can...

Thanks All.

I'm planning a big stout but because I have a GF I'm going to have to use a lot of DME. If I dissolve 3.5kg of dme in a few litres of water can I steep speciality grains in it? Chocolate and Carapills? I've tried reiterating mashing, sparging too much and boiling longer but it's just easier to...

I'm going to brew Jamils Christmas Beer but it takes 9kg of grain right on the GF's maximum. According to the GF calculator I'd need 27 l of water for the mash and 13 to sparge which isn't enough to adequately sparge that amount of grain so efficiency will be lower. This was my experience the...

Thanks All

I will be brewing Jamils Ok Yule Loggy, with an OG of 1.090 containing Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg and Allspice. I can brew it in the next week or so But would that be too soon for Christmas? I dont want the spices to fade. Thanks All. Aamcle

There is also his European Beers book, the recipes are mainly simple and meant to be enjoyed. Aamcle

I'm fixing my cp filler :)

No I just prefer bottles to serving from a keg. I am looking for ways to lager, add sugar/yeast then bottle and store warm for a couple of weeks to carbonate. But I think I'll have to concentrate on making my counter pressure filler work properly and stick to force carbonation in a keg. At...

I want the final product in bottles, I would expect to ferment and cold crash in primary only then transferring to the keg. Lager it for some time, add the sugar solution whilst still cold bottle immediately and let it condition (carbonate) in the bottles. If it works there should be very...

I'm still not happy with forced carbonation and counter pressure bottle filling although it works and I have the equipment. So what would happen if :- I transferred a batch to a Corny and lager at 0 to -1°C for a few weeks Carefully open the keg add the appropriate amount of dilute sugar...
