Jim's Beer Kit

Very nice! I have one in the fermenter right now using chevallier.

Let us know how it tastes.

Interested to hear what you think of the Caraaroma addition The caraaroma addition was very nice and is what helps give this beer it's red color. I get a slight nuttiness and a tinge of dark caramel and it adds beautifully to the aroma. Here's a pic of the beer it's one I keep in my regular rotatio...

Of course they didn't need a hydrometer. They didn't have the technology. The hydrometer is simply an advancement in technology that allows more precise control of the process as it measures density directly. You can use less efficient techniques or more modern ones that produce more consistent resu...

Rob and his team take a crack at it: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/adnams-ghost-ship-all-grain-kit/ https://youtu.be/n7GaUUkEm_Q “For those of you that wish to dial the recipe fully in the Adnams team has also shared their water profile which is based on them using very hard Thames water,...

Looks great how's the flavor?

Pretty much finished will be bottling this weekend sometime.

Cheers!

About ~6 points away from final gravity at 2.5 days of fermentation. Airlock smells great!

Real nice Krausen this morning. Currently holding temps between 18.9 and 19.4°C.

Currently about -14°C outside this morning lol.

Nick did a 2 hour boil where as I stuck to a 1 hr, he did boil a fair bit off tbf probably around 6 litres. Hydrometers calibrated to 20c and pre boil wort was about 30c Perplexing I'm wondering if there something going on with the preboil readings stratification maybe? You would have had to boil o...

If you’re in the US, Bobby from New Jersey sells a submersible element that makes boiling full batches on the stove easy. With the burner helping it comes to a boil as fast as propane. Then I move to the back small burner and the extractor fan keeps steam to a minimum. F0A62730-6B28-4FA5-A2C7-CB050...

Sounds good! I can see the attraction of small batch brewing on the stove. I have a 19L setup entailing a boil kettle (38L), cooler mash tun (45L), and a propane burner. It's cold outside right now this time of year and I had a 20L pot sitting around so I picked up a bag and adjusted some recipes. ...

Well the day went perfectly! Started at 9 and I was home with a full fermenter at 5:30! It was really weird though as we both took pre boil gravity readings and they were both sat at 1.070 so we thought that the stronger brew (first runnings) had got really bad efficiency. Then the after the boil r...

Milled grains to .030" (.76 mm) might close the gap more next time which is the great thing about BIAB! I normally run my mill at .032" (.81mm) for my full 19L batch sparge setup. 2 Row Malt 72.5% Caraaroma 9.3% Carafoam 4.6% Melanoidin 4.6% Honey (at flameout) 9% .75 oz (21.3 grams) crystal (3% aa)...

Doing a stovetop small batch today (9.5L). Everything is going well BIAB went off without a hitch. Currently boiling now.

"phantom fiddler" . There is no one way. I don't take samples. I know when it's done. This sort of falls into the same category as Eric's yeast. If I need to cross check my nose - I taste, so ime these things are a good training device and then get left on the self, with titration glassware, vaccuu...
