Jim's Beer Kit

I am seeking some advice for my brewery and creating starters for a 400l brew length. Looking at Brewers Friend to scale up to sufficient yeast I would add 8 yeast smack packs to a 1036 OG 20 litre starter. On a store plate this would give me sufficient yeast count to pitch. However that means there...

Thanks very much for all your replies, plenty to think about. The purpose is more hop aroma but not necessarily the hop haze that can occur with heavy dry hopping. I was considering just dry hopping but was also thinking about using a hop back addition as well as dry hopping or in some brews instead...

Hi there I am seeking some inspiration to build a hop back. I have started a commercial brewery although only 1 BBBL size I am seeking to add a hop back into the set up. My thought is to use a thermopot of about 30 litre size and add a tap at the top and bottom with a bazooka on the bottom tap. The ...

That's sobering stuff. Will be interesting to read his promised future blogs on where he sees issues. As I've ofte...

Hi there Its a while since I posted but I have an opportunity to rent a 4BBBL Brewery and one of the things that is on my mind is what I need to pay HMRC out of everything I sell. Is there a ready reckoner/calculator out there online somewhere (I've looked but not come across any)? All help grateful...

Hi Lee This is a recipe I have brewed many times trying to emulate the original and Bolt Maker and I have come close - it, if you want to get some recipe inspiration have a look at my blog the TT recipes are on there. I always use WYeast 1469, GP, Crystal and Torrified Wheat. Then Worcester Goldings...

Wy1272 American Ale II is a useful yeast, not as dry as most Chico American yeasts, gives something different if you modulate the fermentation temp. Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk What sort of temperatures have you fermented WY1272 at out of interest? Is it more balanced than Chico or still very...
