    Bottling conditions/temperature

    I'm in wales UK. The garage probably goes down to 14° at night and 26° in the day - so quite a swing in temp.

    Bottling conditions/temperature

    Hi guys, I recently made an all grain golden ale. It tasted fantastic prior to bottling - after a couple of weeks it carbonated perfectly but the taste had deteriorated a little. I had left them in the garage and wasnt aware that I should of controlled the temperature better ( I do have chest...

    Water ph

    I am just going off my water quality reports, and wandered if it was fine to just carry on making pale ale.

    Water ph

    Hi guys, my tap water ph is 8. Should I reduce this for the mash or is it ok, also what are the risks to the brew with a bad ph..

    Low efficiency

    Tap water I have been using and funnily enough I was previously having different problems so changed to bottled as a one off - and it was significantly more efficient ( in hind site )

    Low efficiency

    Hi guys. I am quite new to all grain brewing, my 6th attempt tastes and smells great, but I used 6.5kg grain for 5 gallon brew and only had 4.2% alc. (1040 og - 1008 fg ) I guess its to do with my mashing - im using a converted cooler box at 65°c. Any advice would be appreciated please.

    Two yeasts

    It was 11g safe ale yeast and mid range gravity - would there be any benefit?

    Two yeasts

    Hi, I have noticed some 5 gallon recipes ask for 2 packaged of yeast, while vast majority require one. I have used one previously with no problems, is there any benefit of using two for an average strength ale

    I took a sample now (day 10) and it tastes and smells great, and grav was spot on (1.006 was 1.046) so it's looking like I've got a cracking dark ale, not sure if it was the controlled temp, hydrating yeast or aeration but il do it the same next time 😁

    my carbonation/ bottling has been a mixed bag so far, the last batch was a golden ale and the carbonation was really good. I've used tap water on them so far, however I tried bottled water on the current fermenting batch. I have no experience in water chemistry, maybe I will one day 😀
