Re: Grain Gorilla
Will it take a cordless drill - I always think the winding might become tedious once the newness wears off? Like waiting for a cordless drill battery to charge? I reckon you're better off getting a mill that's compatible with a corded drill, personally :wink: Failing to prepare is preparing to fail...

Re: Just ordered from MM--stressful!
I've ordered a couple of times from The Malt Miller since lockdown. Yes you have to wait until they are taking malt orders but I haven't had to mess around too much and the delivery time has been fantastic. Got to say I have been really impressed with how Rob has conducted his business in the last c...

Re: Shorter, cooler dry hopping times
I gave this a go after reading this article. One of my favourite beers that I make is a light coloured bitter that I dry hop with Target pellets after reading that Derek Prentice (Wimbledon brewery, Fullers, Youngs and others) was a fan. I use 30 grams of pellets in a 25 ltr batch at 19-20C for 3-4 ...

Re: Pilgrim recipes please!
Thanks for that Dave. So late additions rather than early... Any hops it goes particularly well with?

Pilgrim recipes please!
Hi All, I have 150g of Pilgrim that I would like to use up. It's not really a hop have used much (although I must have used 50g somewhere...) so I wanted a steer on what it's good in/with? Rather than the default SMASH type brew, I wondered if anyone has a recipe they would like to share that I coul...

Re: How to condition and when to bottle
I've never quite understood that either. Do you not lose carbonation during the bottling process?

Re: Adding salts to the grain
Thanks for the steer. I will have a go at working out a profile along these lines (and I'll ignore the various red flag pop ups on the calculator as I always do!) and hopefully Version IV TTL will be yet nearer!

Re: Fermentation complete?
Im not experianced with your choice of yeast. Personally leave it 7 days check the gravity, leave it another week check gravity again it should be roughly the same. Then put it gently into a secondry leaving the yeast and turb behind. Leave for 2 weeks in a cooler enviroment. Then bottle of keg. My...

Re: Adding salts to the grain
Interesting... I have gone through a few iterations of TTL without getting a good clone, but still tasty beer. Do you happen to know what the Sulphate/Chloride balance would be for TTL?orlando wrote: Chloride biased beers tend to be darker beers (TTL is a notable exception)

Re: Mildy Brown Bitter
89.1% Maris Otter, 5% Flaked Barley, 4.7% Medium Crystal, 1.3% Roasted Barley. 25g Phoenix First Wort, 25g Phoenix 10 mins, 25g Phoenix 1min. Fullers yeast. 18 ltrs @ 4.7% ABV Very tasty... Although I would probably squeeze down the Roasted Barley a little next time around to maybe 1%

Re: Re-Using Wyeast (or any yeast?)
Hello I'm after a bit of experience-based advice on re-using yeast - specifically Wyeast 1469. I'll be making a brew soon, similar to Graham Wheeler's Timothy Taylor Landlord from his Brew Your Own book but with a touch of crystal malt, a pinch of chocolate malt and a little more hops. I'd then lik...
