Re: Brewing for Ukraine...
I would substitute "whirlpool" for a hop stand (or spice stand) at the required temp.

Re: Alternatives to Cornys/PBs/MiniKegs.
What about the various 5 and 10L stainless kegs you can get from places like Dark Farms? Use your existing corny keg connect's, etc, and a sodastram co2 bottle with mini regulator? A 5L one would fit in your normal fridge. They are all a bit pricey, but quality kit you only have to buy once? Persona...

Re: Coopers Bitter
If you aren't doing a mash of some description, then you won't have any enzymes to convert the starches in your torrefied wheat, surely?

Re: Has anyone compared heirloom barley to m o?
1864 XB is a cracking pint; but it's even better brewed with Chevalier.

Re: A better spunding valve?
I see, they look a bit like the tube cutters Kegland sell. I'm sure they work fine. A lot better than a pair secateurs. I'd rather spend literally a few quid more, though, and get the JG cutters. Had mine for over 10 years. Refitted the bathroom and central heating system in our old house. Lent the...

Re: A better spunding valve?
Bicycle hydraulic brake hose cutters do a good job if you have them.

Re: Dave Line & Lost Beers
I can't answer for the diastatic malt, but you are right in reducing the hop. I am about to try his McEwans Export recipe, and by my calculations, I would only need to add the amount of hops he specifies to get an approximately correct IBU figure; I can ignore the hop extract he also specifies that ...

Re: Historic Porter's, Stouts and Milds - Brewing Methods
But that is to ignore Sam Smith's, Timmy Taylor and the rest who produce mild ales that are both pale and dark, and always have.

Re: Mild
Higher mash temperature= more sugars that yeasts struggle to ferment = more body / lower attenuation Lower mash temperature= more easily fermented sugars thus less body, higher attenuation So, if I were brewing a mild, I would tend to mash higher than normal to give it a bit of body to compensate fo...

Re: Crossmyloof Brewery Dry Yeast
I can confirm the mild I did with the Beior yeast came out really well.

Re: Dave Line & Lost Beers
The Draught Bass was particularly good as it was the original Bass taste, not the crap that Marston's brew. I am still using Beer Engine to calculate the hops. I feed in the quantities in the original recipe, which gives way too many IBU's, read the percentages that BE shows and then scale the hops...

Re: Dave Line & Lost Beers
I recently picked my copy up from an Amazon second hand book seller for pennies. I think the postage was the bulk of the cost and even then we were looking at less than £3, so there are copies out there if you fancy one!
