Re: Sudden problems predicting mash pH
Thanks for all your thoughts. I did suspect my pH meter first, as I've had it a while now. So I bought a new sensor. Same readings. Everyone in my area gets their water from the same place, the Ladybower/Derwent dams complex. (That water is sent all the way down the valley as far as Derby and Nottin...

Re: St Austel 'Proper Job' Cornish IPA - help please
As regards the StA yeast this is my understanding: As someone else has said, it is their 'own' yeast. I read somewhere it was sourced, a very long time ago, from a Dorset brewery (maybe). Somewhere in that area, anyway. But I'm talking decades ago, so it will have evolved by now. I have read someone...
