Jim's Beer Kit

Sorry forgot to mention that!

I'm looking for a rhizome.

Hello, I am looking into brewing a few more Bavarian beers, as such will need a supply of Hallertau Hersbrucker hops. So where is the best place to get hold of them, or is some kind person willing to split theirs for a reasonable price. (cheeky I know!) I have an Goldings that I would split as a swa...

Ok, So I might do well to add a Iblow off however this will probably be fermented in a bucket. I will use liquid yeast, however still a little confused about converting the Extract to AG. 1 lb Pale Malt 5 lb Wheat Malt 4oz of munich malt. Keep hops as is. Steep grains at the higher end to retain swe...

Many thanks for all the info.

decoct the hell out of the whole thing

What the hell is the act of decocting?

Cheers.

Ok, Thanks for the info. From that webiste the recipe is: Beer: Paulaner Hefe Weizen Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5.25 gallons Water: 4 gals PUR filtered tap water placed in freezer for 4-5 hours prior to brewing.

Hello, After a break from HB about 2 months I am looking for a new recipe. I have just returned from Cologne and now have a love for Geffal Kolsch and Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier. I have done a search for recipes for both and there seems to be quite a lot of info for Kolsch. I just need to read through ...

My fuggles have gone crazy! With about 30 shoots, 10 or so which are just under a foot long! Goldings not quite so busy but has 20 shoots, a couple of which are about a foot. they are both in their 2nd year, last year I only let 3 vines grow, should I do the same again? Seems a shame to cut most of ...

Thanks for the response, I'm moving about 2 metres, from the conditioning fridge to the other side of the shed. I am trying to get a new brew on, however I'm working on the controller to keep the fridge at certain temps before I do a new brew. I tried to finish it last year but always ended up just ...

Ok, no worries, I'll keep it in the barrel.
What about moving it, can I move it then leave for 48 hours to settle?

Also once you take the 1st pint how long to consume the rest of the barrel?

I've got a brew ready to drink in a barrel.

This is the 2nd ferm ves. I.e I transferred from prim ves after 10 days then left in barrel to condition.

Am I ok bottle it rather than drink from the barrel or should I leave it in the barrel.

Has been conditioning for 6 weeks.

Thanks.

Ok, what about the one that is in the ground, again wait until the ground is not waterlogged?

I think mines started to shoot late Nov!

Anyway, is now a good time to transplant hops?
I have 3 in tubs that I want move to the allotment.
As they are dormant I assume now is the best time?

Fermentation seemed to complete. i.e low fonal gravitiy.

However, I think that it may have been the chocolate that I added to the boil that has caused this over prime.

As the title states.

Choccy stout, primed with a small amount of sugar, just popped a bottle and same carbonation as fizz!
It's been in a shed for the past month as well!

Anyway to sort this out, as I have 20+ bottles like this.

Maybe uncapp all of them then re cap?

My grinder uses a spinning blade.

By pulsing it means the temperature generated chopping the beans does not get too hight which can cause bitterness.
