Im not sure why you are putting The Nelson oil in the FV.
Unless bottling direct from your FV.
If so, then I'd add the oil to the FV 10 mins before bottling.
If kegging, just add to the keg or corny.

Hi Matt

Yeah I’m sure plenty do, it just needs someone to start with a suggested location and possible date.
My suggestion is Tyne Bank Brewery tap.
Norm

What is the exact recipe you are useing and any additions ?

Hi Matt

1st thing I thought when I read your post was, He's missed out a Kilo.
And I think you are starting to also think this. It's easy done mate.

Hi Dean
Which yeast did you use. (ignore That I've just seen S04)

It did start at 1065 so I wouldt expect lower than 1016. So 1020 isnt so bad.
Maybe raise the temperature a couple of degrees for a few days.
Personally I wouldnt add anything, just wait it out, it'll get there.

Hi Eric Yeah Challenger late. We were talking about it. I said I often use it for bittering, Sean said its there main bittering hop. But while we were in the hop store Anna closed a bag of hops that had opened and the the smell was lovely, it was Challenger, My challenger dont smell as nice. I suspe...

It was a nice afternoon. And very hot. Us brits arn't used to that much sunshine. Anna gave us a guided tour of the brewery and we spent time cooling down in there air conditioned hop store. They really are so dedicated to UK hops. They had an amazing selection of all of the best Uk hops and loads o...

Use 16g in place of 20g Use 50.4g in place of 63g I’m a bit puzzled why you are only recommending changing the late hops because of a higher AA. The late hops are for flavour and aroma. The higher AA wont make much difference to the Ebu (well the 15 min adition will by about 2 ebu) It’s the bitteri...

What makes you think it's infected.
How does it taste.
The over carbed bottle may be because of temperature.
Try chilling a bottle, it may allow you to drink one to see if it taste ok.
It may just be too warm.

I did a some experiments a few years back, reusing the late hops to bitter a second brew. I made a hoppy brew with lots of late hops and reused them in a stout on the same day. It did work, but it’s pretty much unpredictable & unrepeatable, so if you did make something nice, you wont be able to recr...
