Re: Big gap in brews

Thanks man. I appreciate the sentiment, especially as I’m sure your beer is gold. I was gutted initially. This last year or so hasn’t been the best year from a mental health view point and that’s part of why I lost the will to brew. Those initial steps of the brew felt like riding my favourite bike ...

Big gap in brews

My biggest time in between brews since I started, but I’m back into it....sort of. So much has happened in my life during the down time. Today I set up to get back in the game with my favourite brew.

Re: Inkbird

As an update to the probe cable, I now have two fermenting fridges, and one freezer which I butchered into a keezer setup then changed to a fermenting/secondary conditioner.

Basic Stout

My first attempt at using the recipe template, it's for one I've brewed a few times now without much thought to accuracy of water quantities. I've plugged it into the BIABacus (also first time to use that with intent) to see what the water quantities really should be and my next brew day will follow...

Re: Real Wort Starter?

I'm planning out two identical grain bills of Stout to ferment at the same time in separate F.Vs. both with Wyeast Irish Ale 1084. One Pride of Ringwood, the other Fuggles. I've only used a smack pack once before (whole thing all in), and wanted to split this one for the two starters using 1L of pos...
