A slight development this end.

In that I can't find the fan. So on to free cycle to see if I Can find an extraction hood or fan.

TIA.

Once again, thanks so much for the advice. Great phrase "beer sauna" It's an issue as I have a few electronic assemblies about which have taken one soaking however repeated soaking is not a great idea. The fan ideas sounds excellent, as does the vent, I think that I have a fan lying around somehwere...

Not really sure if this is the correct forum, appologies if not really. Ok, so I have a number of brews under my belt and my setup is almost spot on. There is only one issue, venting steam from the boil. I brew in my shed which shares space with bikes and some other bits (tools etc). I open the door...

Thanks for the advice, I upped the quantities as suggested.

All good fun!

Thanks for the reply,

it's only a small brew about 2 1/2 kg of malt hence the small amount of liquid.

Hello, I am looking to do an AG brew over the next couple of days. I have a recipe and have everything ready to go. However I seem to have forgotten one thing.

Hello,

I've been a bit out of brewing, one of the last things I saw was a video showing how to culture yeast from a bottle of white shield. Can't remember who made it, I can remember a lighter round the neck of the bottle.

Anyone got a link or a method for this.

Thanks!

Just looking through some recipes I came to the same conclusion, just wanted to see what others thought!

So now the choice is Kolsch 1st (easier as I have more bits) or Weissbier?

HHHHmmmmmmmmm

OK, so what is the difference between a Weissbier and a Kolsch as the grains seems to be very similar just the major difference is years. Or am I missing something else?

I will probably make my own recipe using about 70% wheat 30% pilsner or pale malt.

Still use hallertau hops and specific yeast.

Cheers
