Hey guys, just wondering can someone clear something up for me. I'm doing my first all grain probably next weekend, and I finally dialled in my numbers and recipe. I'll be batch sparging, and I'm fine with the mash volume and temp. 13.43L of water @ 75.7 degrees will give me my desired mash...

Hey guys, long time lurker.....not so long time poster. I'm not that confident with wiring, and thought I'd try and save myself the anxiety or building a keggle by buying an electric hot water boiler/tea urn. It's a 40litre buffalo boiler. I tried it out last night, and it reached 97.5 degrees...

Hello, long time lurker short time poster. Actually posting for a friend....he's stuck to kit brews and has seemed to be getting off flavours in his brews. When he first started off, after a few brews I told him to start using a better yeast etc He's usually stuck to us-04/5. His most recent...

Hey guys, not a regular poster but a long time brewer. Curious to know peoples thoughts on a brew I just done a few days back. Nothin pretty or special, just 2 coopers Canadian blondes with a couple bags of extra malt chucked in and some us-05 used. Batch in a vessel each. In my haste I pitched...

Hey guys, I've noticed some mold in the tubing of my auto syphon, and was just wondering has anyone any ideas how best to clean it? And also the best way to prevent it again. The tubing of my syphon is long and thin and I don't have a clue how you could get the inside of it dry before putting...

Hey guys, brewed a coopers Canadian blonde with some dme and dextrose a few weeks back. Say at 18 degrees the whole time and fermented nicely. Once it fermented out I left if for nearly two weeks and then bottled and primed. Been priming for about a week now, and tried the first bottle last...

Gents, over the next few months I've set myself a few projects.....I'll be converting a cooler into a mash tun, and I'll also be converting two kegs into a hlt & also a keggle. Some advice please....I noticed in a few videos that copper with drilled holes have been used at the bottom of a mash...

I've gathered over the last while that racking to secondary is a matter of opinion. And it may clear your beer However if I leave my batch in primary after fermentation for a week will it clear in there too? Any advice is appreciated, cheers

I'm brewing a coopers Canadian blonde atm and it's starting to get slightly colder here in Ireland. I think my temps might stay between 16-18 degrees in my house, which I think is fine seeing as this is lager....however with coopers own instructions it's calling for between 18-26 I was always...

Hey guys!! Just finished brewing a coopers Canadian blonde with 500g of muntons light DME and 700g of dextrose. I just took the advice off craigtube for this one. This is my second ever batch, so I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out! My first being a woodefordes wherry which was really...

Hey guys, I'm about to bottle my woodfordes wherry kit and I'm just wondering doesn't anyone have an idea of how much water (ml/l) & sugar(g) I need to add to my batch while bottling? It's for about 23 litres Many thanks

Hi guys, I just started my first ever batch yday. In my excitement I haven't actually taken an OG, however the instructions on the kit have told me what the FG should be. Will this effect my batch that I haven't taken the og? I'm using a little 3 piece airlock, and I'm afraid if I take a reading...

Hi guys, can I just start out by saying that I am a complete beginner and have never made a brew before. I've done some research so far and I gather that I need to bung everything from my kit into the fermenting vessel and sterilise everything. I'm using a woodfordes wherry home brew. When...
