Jim's Beer Kit

... In fact, I’ve decided to give it another go. I’ve got some English Lagers to brew for the summer and loads of whole Goldings hops to use up. Hopefully a more successful attempt. 🤞 Now you have remembered what I said? ... But "bottled it and gave it away" :shock: ... I wouldn't want to be doing ...

... Numbers, please PeeBee. Thanks. ... Thank you, Guy. Okay. I'm being poked back into action. Not that I've been inactive (on this topic), I was "researching" elsewhere (or more likely, "diverting my attention to something easier"). And I not going to get on with "numbers" this time, more wafflin...

Apologies. I've been neglecting this post, due to 1: Christmas! 2: A number of awkward "realities" that this project keeps throwing at me. I'm perhaps targeting to a very limited group of people that, like me, have very low TDS in their water but want "firm" beer structure. That's "firm" in John Pal...

Fascinating. Thanks for taking the risk and posting your result. Good to know the lager is drinkable and won't need throwing away! Guy Fascinating? Add me too! I've long considered leaving the beer in the boiler to ferment (do you - "nallum" - leave it to cool naturally or rapidly with a cooler or ...

Here's another: A Homebrewing Perspective on Mash pH - sonsofalchemy.org I'm sure I'll find more before I'm finished (which won't be soon enough for some of you). But I need to get on (and brew some flippin' beer). What I hope to have transferred - because I'm having to come to terms with it too - i...

As part of coming up with a simple calculator, I've got to keep in touch with the "complicated" discussions to try and ensure I don't wander too far off-track. This is a reading list, mainly for my information, no need to read them (or you might 'cos they're interesting? But they can make your brain...

As "IPA" says; sounds like your cylinder is empty! ... this morning the regulator high gauge had dropped to nearly zero with the low showing 10 still. ... "10" means nothing. Those gauges are a bit naff, especially the high pressure ones. What they read is not reliable. BUT! More importantly, the pr...

Before attempting to create a suitable brewing water, it's a good idea to have some grasp of how (or not!) pH is predicted in brewing water: First off, it's not a direct conversion! (i.e. If you have x, y, z of something it won't mean you will get a pH of a, or b. or c). Don't believe anyone who tel...

Meanwhile (Firstly?): I now realise why I wasn't getting much assistance with this venture, or even sympathy that I was stuck with very low mash pHs (<5.0). I was attempting to build high TDS water profiles from a base of low TDS water. High TDS profiles aren't very "trendy" these days and people wi...

Apologies! The "I'll start collecting some points to kick off properly" is taking longer than I anticipated! But the project is still live, and I will come up with something soon. (And it will be worth the wait ... well, I would say that wouldn't I?

Well done PeeBee. I hope you have survived the bad weather. Here we awoke to total calm after a damp night, but the wind is increasing as the day advances. ... I suspect the "well done" is for me acting like an a***, but taking the flak resulting from it on the chin instead of trying to defensive? ...

I'm not sure what that means, because I don't care that much about water, remember? ... What it meant was: I messed up my "analysis" of your water (by a fly's fart of an error but because we're talking water with little in it anyway, it magnified greatly) which I'd banded about as a key proof (wasn...

Hello Paul, you bumped up the chloride, I just made a minor alteration to sodium to make a balance on Graham's calculator. ... Flippin' rubbish. Go back to the sixth post an' it says Cl 10. ... Oh aye. Bums and donkey poo. I'm going home. An' what's "Tryfoyl" about ... Someone stating, in indelible...

And because of there numbers you can

Never mind about your spreadsheet prowess could you please get your grammar correct !!!!

What you about?

I nefer went t'grammer school, so you get "secondary modern" an' you kan like it or lump it.

Okay?

Ah, blast! The illustrations I've posted clearly show the difference between my "invalid" water analysis and Eric's "modified" (and valid!) analysis is all of eight milligrams per litre (of chloride, much less of sodium). Or, eight "Parts-per-million", but that just makes it sound worse. The hazards...
