Re: Can Graham's water treatment calculator be downloaded?

Me too. I have plastified all of them and keep them in a folder. However my water profile does not change.
It would be nice to download it though.

Re: CO2 conditioning

The simple answer to your problem is that fermentation had not finished when the beer was kegged. Resolve that and you will answer the problem.

Re: Connecting to the web to discuss water chemistry and mash pH

Contact Wallybrew on this forum and ask him if he still does water analysis. If he does send him a sample. Then as Nallam says follow Graham's calculator on this site.

Re: Foamy dispense advice please

Hello All! I made a couple of corny kegs of beer then went on holiday for a fortnight. Upon return the beer is great but pours like foam and serves flat. I assume this is overcarbonated and the dispense of foam removes the CO2 on dispense making the beer flat? If I just keep letting the pressure of...

I was trying to make the cheapest least effort beer possible, heated the water to 66 degrees added the grain,100%maris otter , left it for an hour, then one bittering addition for the 20 min boil (perle because I was trying to get rid of it) and then just left...

Evening All. I'm about to use one for the first time, I'm Fermenting the beer a Fed Special and then intend to transfer to the keg to naturally condition with sugar, is there anything specific to these kegs I need to watch out for?

I brewed a batch of bitter last year with bramling hops that I really like. Unfortunately the only shop I ever saw that carried them went out of business.
You could grow your own.

Re: Old Slope

The ability of yeast to survive,despite us, is amazing. I have found viable yeast in old bottles many times. The record for me were some bottles from 1977 which had been stored in less than ideal conditions and moved several times in the UK and finally here to France. They were coaxed back to activi...

Re: Grain Gorilla

Update in this thread. I cleaned the mill following the issue I’d had before and for several months it has performed without major issue, but the last couple of brews have seen the milling of 5Kg or so of grain taking 10s of minutes rather than minutes. I’m sufficiently pissed off that I think I mi...

Re: Another question about yeast starters/slurry

Have you ever wondered how your bottled beer is conditioning ? For many years I used to use a PET bottle for the the first bottle and by squeezing it over a number of days I got a rough idea of how carbonisation was progressing. I now have a far more accurate way of knowing. One of these. https://ww...
