Hello I'm debating myself between buying a fermenter with a 120° or 60° cone angle. They both have the same pressure rating and ports, but the one with the 120° cone is slightly shorter and cheaper. Is it possible to dump yeast/trub/hops with a 120° cone? Both have a 2" TC port at the...

Hello, I seem to be unable to find the diastatic power of Crisps malts from their website, for example: https://crispmalt.com/malts/extra-pale-ale-malt/ Does someone know how/where to get the diastatic power for their malts in degrees Lintner? Thanks, Roger.

Hello, I tend to brew fairly classic styles, but from time to time I like to do something different. A friend of mine was very insisting last time we did a barbeque that we should have grilled pineapple for dessert, and since then I wondered whether I could do a beer that attempts to capture...

Hello, A couple of weeks ago I brewed a sour fruit beer with 3.6Kg (~8lb) of frozen crushed mango added to the whirlpool. I ended up with 25L (6.6gal) in the FV, fermentation was normal and then I cold crashed it for 2 days. That however didn't manage to compact much of the trub, so I ended up...

Hello, I'm planning on brewing a Grapefruit IPA next weekend and I'm unsure about what yeast to use. I originally planned to use Lallemand BRY-97, but I've read that it can mute hop flavours. The recipe is quite simple, a grain bill of Maris Otter plus a bit of Caramalt for color and body. On...

Hello, I've been using the dry Lallemand Verdant IPA yeast for a while now for my NEIPAs and Pales Ales since it's more convenient than Wyeast 1318, but I don't seem to be able to get the mentioned flavour profile of fruit and creamy vanilla. I've always pitched a full packet (11gr) directly...

Hello, I'm brewing a Chocolate Porter and I wonder if there's an ideal or recommended temperature when adding cocoa nibs after fermentation is done. So far I've done a soft crash to 15C after D-rest, dumped yeast and added the nibs soaked in non flavored drinking alcohol at 50% ABV. After...

Hello, I would like to brew a beer that I could age for 18 years. It's obviously going to be bottled. I usually keg but I don't have a counter flow bottle filler, so I was planning to fill using a simple bottling wand. Does anyone has suggestions for which style to brew that could be aged for...

Hello, I've been recently adding sodium metabisulphate at kegging in order to prevent oxidation of heavy dry hopped beers. I also purge the keg and do closed transfer, but I thought that the addition of metabisulphate wouldn't hurt. I've just recently noticed however that it might have an...

Hello, I wanted to try a no-boil recipe as I don't think I've ever had such type of beer and as a bonus it will speed my brew day. I'm planning something like a hoppy (and likely hazy) pale ale: 5.6% / 13.6 °P All Grain BIAB (no-boil) 60% efficiency Batch Volume: 24 L (Kettle) Fermenter...

Hello, I already have a 30L Speidel fermentor and would like to buy a smaller one for doing trial 2.5gal batches using a smaller keg. Does anyone know the actual capacity of the Speidel 12L fermentor? The 30L is AFAICT capable of holding 33 or 34L I would say, so I was hoping the 12L would be...

Hello, I'm looking at maybe getting one of those do filter when transferring from fermentor to keg, and also use it as a Hop Rocket. Does anyone know the thread size of the hose barbs? I'm looking to replace those with John Guest fittings, as I already do closed transfer from fermentor to keg...

Hello, I'm planning to brew a sweet NEIPA, but I don't want to add fruit so I'm not sure whether I would call this a milkshake IPA. I would like to use Idaho #7 since I've never used it, but I'm not sure if I should pair it with other hops. This is what I have at the moment: Sweet home Idaho...

Hello, This is my first post, I hope I will manage to explain why and what I'm trying to achieve in order to get good feedback. I don't have a lot of space at home to brew, so I try to keep my gear size limited. I've recently started brewing more IPAs, and I've found that dry hopping is kind...
