    US05 not kicking off in berliner

    Marzen with 100% brett

    Brewing a marzen and was going to split the batch and pitch brett lambucus. Any thoughts? Will the toasty caramel marzen meld well with the brett?

    100% brett marzen???.

    Hey, So I'm going a marzen on the weekend and thought I'd use a third of the batch to ferment with 100% brett lambucus. Thought that all the nice caramel complex sugars of the marzen would hold up well against some brett characteristics. Am I crazy? Cheers

    Leave beer longer?

    Hey. So my pale ale has been in fermenter for 2 weeks. It's reached FG, 1.014 but its not that clear. I ramped the temp up a few days ago to try and get the yeast active again but still not clearing up. So if I just leave it for another week or two will it help?

    Apa

    Hey, I brewed a pale 31 clone but it turned out too bitter. Apart from a 15 g 60 min addition of fuggels I did 60g at 10 min and 60g at flame out. Also I try hopped with 60 g for 4 days. Used chinook cascade and centennial. I seem to get too many IBUs from my late and dry hope additions. Any...

    Heating element in mash tun

    Hey all, So I just installed a heating element in my HLT and now I want to put one in my mash tun. I want to put it above my false bottom but I hear the element may scorch the grain.

    Re using my yeast

    Hey, so I'm brewing a red ale at the moment with 1056 and wondered if when I transfer my red ale to keg can I dump new pale ale wort on top of it without any problems. Concerns Will the trub left over from red ale be ok sitting there for another ferment? Going from a darker beer to a lighter...

    Using pilsner malt as base instead of pale

    Hello, I want to use pilsner malt as my base malt instead of using US pale in my ipas or pales or ambers. So I just wanted to know what are the pros and cons to this and do I need to use more or less or the same compared to pale malt in my recipe. Thanks

    Can i add water to my kegged beer?

    Probably a silly question but I thought I'd ask. So I brewed an amber ale, it's been kegged for like a week. Pulled a glass of it and it's way to malty, just a strong sweet malty taste. I know what I did wrong in the brewing but I wondered if I could somehow dilute it with letting it go flat and...
