Re: Phenolic taste at the end of a keg.
People make the mistake of thinking keg = sterile too - they’re not, just much less exposed to air than cask. Low temp will inhibit acetobacter too so you might notice other off flavours before vinegar.

Re: Damson Porter/old ale help
Later the better for any fruit to be honest. The plum porters you taste in pubs are made with an ice cream syrup so I wouldn’t expect that result...
Malty and sweet sounds good! Saisons don’t do sweet at all. Choose a low attenuating yeast like windsor and I’m sure it’ll be great.

Re: Dry Hopping With Pellets - In PB
I’d say no, pellets turn to sludge and leaf are much easier to filter out as they’ll form a natural filter in the beer. Block the tap with pellet sludge and you’re buggered.

Re: Scorched Element - Have you ever gotten away with it?
Yeah i had an element pop in a pale beer and it was fine. I’d at least see it through to the end.

Re: used keg cleaning
I’d strip it down, ain’t many moving parts, soak in PBW or thin bleach solution then rinse the next morning. Inspect seals (keep a pack of spares on hand anyway). Good as new.

Re: If you could choose one hop to brew with Nelson Sauvin what would it be?
Imo NS liked a dank hop to back it up, on its own it can be quite 1 dimensional, something piney like chinook or simcoe will help balance it out.

Re: Grain storage suggestions
feed bin from an agricultural place or chutney barrel are good options (around 80L). Tbh though i use cable tied sacks at the brewery, the sacks are relatively waterproof and hard wearing so unless you’re getting probs with mice or slugs I wouldn’t worry too much..

Re: Northern Monk Recipe Request
They might withhold some information about it but most breweries are happy to share, the days of recipe safeguarding are mostly long gone tbh. Otherwise it’s probably a fairly standard wit - 50-50 pale malt and torrified wheat, 15 ibu, proper wit yeast and it’s spiced with ginger, cardamom and coria...

Re: Dry yeast reuse
I’d agree the cost is prohibitive really but from a learning perspective I’d say go for it. Washing won’t alter the yeast much, the idea is to use an acid strong enough to kill microbes but weak enough to leave the yeast unharmed as the cell walls are thicker. It will however mutate after every ferm...

Re: Weatheroak Hill Brewery / Sunshine Marmalade 4.7%
Going to be my next brew, one question Rob, I normally leave my beer from pitching yeast to racking into cornies two weeks, the final four days reducing the fermentation temperature down to about one degree for clearing. Adding the hop pellets after four days (just the right time in my opinion) wil...

Re: Brewing alcohol free
Well I never thought when I started this forum that there'd ever be a thread on it about no-alcohol brewing! :lol: It's a good move though - I can't remember how many times I've avoided drinking beer because I had to drive later or had something important to do early the next morning. Plus there's ...
