So as per title, a friend happened to know someone at a bonded warehouse/distillery and they were getting rid of an old barrel ... I don't know what the original provenance was - whether it was originally sherry or what - I'm in Ireland so my guess is probably French oak/sherry ... Aaaanyway...

So a bit about my process. I brew large 20 gal/80l batches of either extract or partial mash. I brew in "fermenter genius" 100l/25gal fermenters ... They have a main lid which is like about 12 inch diameter and another little lid/port in the centre of the main lid which is like 1.5 inches...

So I finally bit the bullet and did my first all grain mash ... I'll call it a pseudo Vienna lager as it was really just me experimenting with some grains I liked the sound of with Vienna as the base malt I use RO water (which is reading at pH 6.5) and I added 2.1 grams of calcium chloride and...

Just received delivery of 3kg of hops at a cost of about €140 2 of the 3 vacuum packed pouches are punctured. the three pouches are all sealed up together in plastic in the HB store's logo plastic its not impossible they could have left the warehouse ok and somehow taken a knock in transit...

Hi folks. So I finally got around to buying an R.O. filter - what a game changer. I am strictly extract and have no plans to go all grain, so it suits me perfectly for brewing. I read somewhere that "remineralization filters" are basically BS and don't really do a whole lot to properly...

This question is about making O2 free "blendwater" to blend with high gravity brews like the big breweries do, but t the home brew scale. What am I missing here ...? I'm sure there is a reason this wouldn't work otherwise I would have heard of people doing it by now ... hopefully someone can...

Anyone know what is going on here? This is, (or was) slurry harvested yesterday Overnight in the fridge and it looks like this I know lutra is ridiculously flocculant ... But I always get mixed up about which bit is supposed to be the good viable yeast, the top or the bottom ... I'm...

I followed one of the homebrew network vids where he put 30psi on the collection ball and next to nothing on the main tank - i must have had a loose connection somewhere ... nothing happened, the hops are just sitting in the ball at the bottom very anti climactic! should I close the butterfly...

Hi guys I've been thinking a lot about how useful it would be to be able to blend kegged and carbed drinks at the tap - and out of the same tap. There are lots of reasons you might want to blend: I'm sure many of us have experimented with making beer cocktails post tap - by simply filling a...

So I bought the fermzilla 55 liter ... Not a small investment for me ... And built a fermentation chamber big enough to hold it ... Also not cheap I followed the kegland assembly instructions ... But I got confused and accidentally put one of the extra, spare O-rings they give you around the...

Hey all, Im wondering if it would be possible to convert an expansion vessel for a home heating system into a large capacity pressure fermenter (100 liter plus) I can tig weld so connections are not an issue I guess Im wondering what the interior of such vessels are lined with? Can you get...

Greetings brewers ... I hope this is in the appropriate sub forum. I cant seem to find the info Im looking for with the search function, but this may be down to my newbiness on the site, so any pointers on that are welcome. I have been brewing standard 5gal extract kits for a few years now...
