What's the best way of sparging with BIAB? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I'm about to attempt my first ever all grain beer, but I'm just trying to get my head around something before I do. I am aiming to do a 10 litre batch using 1.8kg Maris Otter. I read somewhere that you need around 2.6 litres of water per kilogram of grain. This would mean am mashing using...

Thanks for this. I ended up doing a mini mash with the following: 300g Maris Otter 500g Light DME 125g Crystal 400 50g Chocolate Malt 10g Fuggles (60 mins) 5g Fuggles (15 mins) 5g East Kent Goldings (5 mins) 5g East Kent Goldings (4 day dry hop) 3g SA-04 Yeast I think it will come out around...

In terms of SG... I dunno... 1.040. Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

As for my desired gravity, I guess anywhere between 1.008 and 1.012. Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I have the following: 150g Fuggles 225g Dark Crystal Malt (400EBC) 160g Chocolate Malt 7g (or 11g, I can't remember) of Coopers Yeast 500g Light DME 1kg dextrose Can I make a beer from these of 1 gallon to go in a demijohn? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

Typo! iPhone fail. Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I have some ingredients to use up and I was wondering how much malt extract as yeast I would need to make a on gallon batch of brown ale? I also have some crystal and chocolate malt and Fuggles hops. Any ideas? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I can't seem to find any coolers in the UK that are around 30 litres that have a ready made hole in them. Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

How do you create the syphon to get that going? Do you have a photo so I can see? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I am thinking of making a mash tun from a 30 litre cooler you can buy from Tesco. It doesn't have a hole in it already so I'd have to drill one for the run off valve. Does anyone know: a) What kind of drill bit I would need? b) How to drill one of those bad boys without totally cracking the...

Thanks. I must admit, the beers that have had a bit of a flavour have all fermented a little bit high. I guess I'm just trying to ascertain whether extract beer is always going to taste... well... It's hard to describe. It's a nice beer that I'll happily drink, but when I drink it next to a...

Forgot to say, would it be possible to buy a cooler and a strainer bag and mash your base grains in the cooler to hold temperature rather than in the pot on the stove? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

Thanks for the help. A friend of mine said that the beers I've made all have a similar taste running through them. I'm guessing that's the extract sweetness because my FGs always seem to be between 1.010 and 1.015. Going all grain is sounding like a little bit much from what I've just read...

What sort of calculations? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

Thanks. Do you have a link? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

Hi there, I've been brewing using beer kits and additions (such as hops, steeping grains, etc) since January and, although the beer I've made is nice, I can tell the difference between that and a craft beer bought from the shop. I'm wondering whether I should either go all grain or at least...

Thank for the link. Funnily enough, I discovered Bluebird when I went to Conistone on holiday a few years ago to the pub where it's brewed. It's actually one of my favourite beers. I also come from and live in Sheffield too! Might brew this recipe. The recipe at the top is a clone of a beer...

Thanks. That's really help, especially the terminology. Is partial mashing better than extract brewing? Emmanuales | #WhatWouldJesusBrew? nick-law.com

I haven't done a partial mash before; I'm just exploring the possibility at the moment. It seems easy enough from what I've seen on YouTube. Does it matter if I use tap water rather than bottled? I live in Yorkshire which has pretty good drinking water. Also, I read in a book that LME has a...
