Hi all. I've done brewing only biab, and plan to do so everytime . Usually only max 19L batches on a regular large kettle on a stovetop (wood fired stove). Now I'm about to buy a larger kettle to get 25L of wort or maybe upto 50L of wort (35 - 80L kettle). The kettle would have an ball valve...

Soo, it been awhile and my first 5L batch of beer was good. Not much alc in it (by feel). Something that would be great with somethin meaty to eat. Now I'm looking for something very easy to drink with some more alc (4-6%). I have pale malt and some amber malt (made by myself, from scratch)...

Hi all! How should I use these caps :https://www.beerewine.it/tappi-alettati-bianchi-confez-100-pezzi/ I could not find any instructions, do I need a "standing" capper to this? I got some 750ml bottles that have 29mm opening for 29mm crown caps. I got these plastic caps (in the link) for free...

So I was thinking of clearing the next batch using gelatin. But I'm also looking forward to collect the yeast after bottling. Does the use of gelatin (to clear the beer), affect the usability of the yeast?

So, this is especially for people with winter coming and living in a old house. Where do you keep your fermentors, to keep them at relatively stable temperature? Mine is at 12°C, and I'm not trying to make lager....

So, we needed to get to the city from our "homestead" for couple of days. The temperature dropped from 19°C to 12°C. Just arrived and noticed this, and the fermenter isn't bubbling now... It used to bubble fast when we left. Background and volume info: I accidentally added 8g of yeast to a...

Has anyone made themselves an easy yeast nutrient? Long text ahead, bear with me: My wife makes sourdough bread, which is done without yeast. She grows it somehow by feeding flour and water to the dough. For some reason it "overgrows" and you end up with that excess "not -yet-dough". I was...

So made my first try at brewing yesterday. Aim was for my 5L fermentor to be "fullish". Got about 3L of wort after boiling. So easy math would say that add 1liter more to sparge, to get to the wanted 4L wort amount. (To leave headspace 1L) But is there anything wrong with such simple conclusion?

So, I've been boiling wort and some thicker stuff builds up on top of the wort. I've been scooping these away with a sif. Am I doing it wrong?

So I got lucky, kind of, won an auction that had 1237 green 750ml bottles. Was in a brewery bankruptcy auction. Just wondering if there is a bench cappers that are going to outlast me? Since now I have huge amount of bottles of same size (will be giving away most) and I don't like buying crap...

Really short and simple question: How do you get the wort to the measuring tube in a mess free way? Ps. I'm totally new to beer brewing and measuring gravity...

Hi all! I'm from Finland and starting to settle in to our homestead. I'm starting with home brew beer, trying to make everything from scratch. First batch of DIY malt gone mouldy just now, after the steepings, while waiting them to germinate and grow. Should have started the fans before, but...
