    Picobrew Z recipe adaptation and tips?

    howdy, A gadget-orientated friend just got the Picobrew Z2 delivered. Was wondering if anyone with experience in Picobrew has any tips for recipe adaptation? If picobrew have a recipe creation tool, can I use it so he can then use my recipe? Is there a forum for picobrew recipes? I see a...

    Converting 30m boil recipe to 60m boil, impact of 30m additions?

    Howdy, I did a hopped mid-strength bitter (timings below) on a 30m boil (20L batch) due mainly to running out of time on that particular day - not being sure if the 30m bittering would also add significant flavour. I am thinking of converting it to a 60m boil recipe for ramping up to 600L -...

    Any thoughts on London ESB vs S-04 for hoppy english bitter?

    I recently did Nottingham vs Windsor in a mid-strength English Bitter with lots of hops and found the hop aromas seemed very muted in the Windsor, compared to the Nottingham which was pretty good. My next brew will be the same beer but with London ESB or S-04. Any experiences or thoughts on...

    How much to weigh down wethop dry hop bags

    Hi folks, Any enterprising soul out there noticed what kind of weight ratio you need to actually submerge mesh bags full of wethops during the dry hop phase? They are so buoyant! I put 400g in a bag, with a triclover clamp at the bottom, and after much coaxing its only about 75% submerged...

    Hoppy Black Belgian Ale recipe - seeking feedback

    Hi folks, I’m a fan of the Black IPA, especially the Bombay After Dark recipe from BYO – I did it with Galaxy and HPA-035 hops and it had lovely fruity aromatics without an overbearing resinous thing going on, and restrained roasty hints: https://byo.com/blog...e-beers-of-2013...

    Whoops! Topped up with unboiled wort! Prognosis? Preemptive action?

    I just did a black IPA (my fourth AG,), and ended up with 6 gallons at 1.075 after the boil. I then pitched two packs of rehydrated S-05 at 20 degrees. And then had a brain fritz and chucked in 1/4 gallon of unboiled wort from the mash tun. Is lacto souring likely/certain? Should I...

    Sorghum extract brew: rice malt or sugar? rice/buckwheat water from previous brews?

    Howdy folks, I brewed the recipe below a while back and it was simple but tasty and enjoyed by myself (a non-GF person) and GF friends as reportedly superior to the Aussie commercial GF brews. My only tweak, from memory, was accidentally doubling the maltodextrine. Didn't seem to hurt :) I...

    Whether to steep or partial-mash/mini-BIAB raw wheat for Rochefort 10?

    Hi folks, I’m planning on doing a Rochefort 10 clone with extract, and not sure how/if to handle the raw wheat component. Beersmith’s auto-convert replaced it with wheat extract, but is it easy enough to use raw wheat anyway? And any guesses on whether the flavour differences would...

    Cherry/Apple cider FG 1.03? Do cherries have non-fermentables?

    Howdy folks, I made my first apple/cherry cider which finished at about 1.03 and tastes slightly sweet compared to my previous dry ciders, and I’m wondering if that’s normal or stuck – eg. does cherry juice have non-fermentables in it? I left it in a glass primary for a couple of months and...
