I'm now the proud owner of a conical fermenter! So I'm doubling checking what will be my processes in order to minimize oxidation. Firstly I use something very similar to this: http://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com/store/CO2-Carbon-Dioxide-Harvester-Kit.html made of some 2L ball valves with...

I know this topic has been done to death, so the best thing to do I thought, was to bring it back up. I've always had an issue with aroma in my beers - its never big enough, regardless of how much dry hopping I do, so after some research I've come up with the following idea, and I'm here just to...

this is just a general inquiry, not something I ever really encountered but say you wanted to bottle a hoppy beer(with big aroma). So you brew -> ferment -> dry hop -> cold crash -> bottle prime.. In the bottle priming sequence, doesn't the yeast need to be active(so at a warm temperature)...

Hi all. 6 months ago I won 15 vials of yeast from a homebrew website and I ordered all 15 straight away. Unfortunately life got in the way a little and 1 house move and renovation and 1 baby later, I've finally gotten around to using them. As I only brew once per month I've tried to keep as...

Hi all, Looking for some feedback on an all Ella hopped beer. I'm mashing in for 10gal and 5gal will become a single hopped Motueka and one will become a single hopped Ella. Here's the malt bill(which is locked in).. 10kg of 2 row 1kg of rolled oats(for body) 500g of Crystal 120(colour +...

Hi all, I found this recipe on byo.com and I was just looking for some advise as I a) usually don't do extract brewing and b) I've never fermented a sour lambic before: "Ingredients: 1 lb. flaked wheat 7.5 lbs. unhopped light dry malt extract (DME) 4 AAU well-aged aroma hops: such as...

Hi, I was wondering if people could help with a saison recipe I'm trying to make. Its my first foray into them but I still wanted to add my own twist to it. Can any point out anything obviously wrong.. 19L batch 4.50 kg - Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (3.9 EBC) 0.50 kg - Cara-Pils/Dextrine (3.9...

Hi all, So I've got a minor problem with a beer I was making, I was hoping to channel my inner Stone and Brewdog and make a low ABV beer (Levitation and Dead Pony Club) which was also hopped well, so I decided to make a red ale ~ 3.7% and 30ish IBUs but when I taste the beer, its somewhat...

Couldn't find this one answered anywhere: While cold crashing, if you are sucking in air into the carboy is this not an issue? Or is CO2 heavier than air so it wont disrupt the CO2 bed on top of the fermented beer?

First problem that I can't diagnose. I've made all the mistakes the book so far but this one I can't figure out where I went wrong. The beer is ok until the aftertaste which is very soapy, a really bittery tangy soap. Only differentiation from the recipe below is I dry hopped for 7 days as...

Anyone notice that fly sparge arm they use on the Brewdogs TV show? Anyone know what it is? Thanks guys, love the site:mug:

Hi all, Is it possible I've lost some of the aroma from my beer when I kegged it? Long story short I got my beer in the keg and a couple of times I had to release the head pressure in the keg. Eas time I did I got the beautiful hop aroma from my beer but now that I'm actually drinking...

Hi all, Long time lurker here trying to find some answers to questions. Been searching through the forums and online about what went wrong in my first brew! :confused: Firstly I was using this recipe to get me going. Been a fan of Brewdog since I started drinking ale so...
