Thanks for the detailed responses. Pistol, as soon as i read your post last night i could not wait to get home from work todat and pull my tap apart. I have not even given it a thought that this could be the probem, the pot gets a good clean and all the water and detergent goes through the tap, in m...

Sounds simple and reasonable. Just near the end of brew day now and have been trying to work out why i have a bad couple of batches recently. I was going through my method and what i have changed in my method that may result in inferior beer and i didnt even know why i extended my schedule by an hou...

Mash and boil times

When I first started biab i was doing a 60 minute mash and 60 min boil but now the norm seems to be 90 and 90. What does the extra half hour do? Is it just about getting more points out of your grain or something else I have missed?

Thanks for the replies. Bob, i have done alot of brews with Amarillo as well, not this recipe, another thats floating around and is very popular on AHB. Our best example of an Amarillo commercial beer here is the James Squire Golden Ale. This can be a great beer, every now and then you get one from ...

No chill question

Done our fist beer in a while the other night, all went well, brewed and then straight into no chill cubes. As we do a batch each, we both stuck our cubes in the fermenting fridge out of the way. The next day we smacked our yeast in preperation to pitch, then went to the fridge to get our cubes out ...
