Re: Jelly Like Drop-Out
My guess is it's the Irish moss. There's too much of it! I use Protafloc tablets, at a rate of 0.5-0.7 grams for a standard 23L brew length. That's about 1/4 of a tablet. The 1/4 tablet is put into a bit of water when the boil starts which rehydrates it. The slurry is tipped into the boil 3-4 minut...

Great British menu
Did anybody see the Scottish Dessert? Made Honey malt cruch, something with the hops, beer ice cream and a real bear foam in top.

Re: G30 compatible rolled plates now available
Don’t most people have issues with the silicon ring, as the malt pipe is not true? Be interesting to see if these fit properly with the same issues.

Re: First time making wine (damsons)
I love D47, but then I mainly make apple wine. I use RC212 for red, but got a GV2 on the go this year.

Re: First time making wine (damsons)
Pretty sure EC118 is Champagne yeast, which seems a strange one to use in red wine.

Re: Fullers ESB 'Can you brew it'
I’ve had a phenolic/ metally aftertaste everytime l use WLP002, so much so, that l avoid it now.
I have read that it’s a very exothermic yeast,adds 3-4c on. I’ve always feremented at the top of the range, so that would be 25/26 in reality?

Re: Grainfather - first impressions
I moved from 3V to GF about 5 years ago. I’ve never had any issues with it at all. But then most of the problems l’ve seen are caused by users not reading the instructions properly.

Re: GF - Starting boil as I sparge?
I’ve always done this- does it not say in the instructions to do this?

Bubble gum vodka
I’ve had a bottle of vodka in the cupboard for over a year, and have been trying to think what to do with it, other than soaking the spices for my gingerbread stout. I’ve had all sorts of ideas-cola bottles, pear drops, Kola Kubes, Glacier mints etc. I remember having Hubba Bubba soda many years ago...

Re: Worthington White Shield...
I’ve made this 3 times now. Used WLP 013 which is supposed to be Worthington yeast.
Lovely stuff, though White Shield is one my favourite bottled beers anyway.

Re: Fruit Wine Q
There is a nice recipe for ‘English Port’ in CJJ Berry’s book. Bramble,blackcurrany,elder and slowe. I made it in 2016 with Young’s dessert wine yeast.
Bloody lovely!
