I've only used a small amount of cocoa to a porter before and unfortunately it effects the head retention dramatically due to the protein, this will also leave a haze in your beer especially in such large quantities. Also molasses is a very odd flavour in beer that needs to be used carefully...
Howdy guys I've just been told about this swap but I don't have any beers to offer however I do have assorted home made Belgian Candy sugars to share that I promise are absolutely delish to use in a beer! I've got an IPA in the fermenter but its not ready to bottle yet unfortunately. Next swap...
Cheers for the invite Smurto sounds like a plan, i'll chek out the details and fingers crossed my 'stinky begian stuff' has some value to the others heh!
I am willing to trade assorted colours of the Belgian Candy Sugar I've made for a couple stubbies of anyones finest brews around town. Its my birthday coming up and I just emptied a keg of APA and a Duvel Clone this week thinking I had plenty left to share, so I've devised this plan to meet a...
Jeez will have to repost that, just copy pasted from beersmith in a rush before work, i'll go find the recipie so i can make it easier on the eyes etc...
Sounds like a nice drop mate, how'd you go with the toasted oats btw, did it cause much of a haze in your beer? I would have thought a steep woulnt be enough and would have probably mashed with grain in any other recipie. I can relate to being limited by space and it sounds as though you're...

Hey mate just a couple questions...
What style are you after? Guessing an ordinary English Bitter
Morgans master malt extract, is that dry or liquid form? and is it just a light malt extract?
How many grams ov fuggles have you got and how much aroma/flavour are you after?
I wouldnt but a...
BUMP, any one else got any hot tips, experience with this?
Cheers btw banshee was planning on roasting at 200C for small periods of time so not to just burn them and to cool and check change in tastes.

Is it a bought yeast or from under the lid type yeast?
If its from under a lid of a kit can then keep it to use as yeast nutrient (by boiling and killing the yeast, i've saved up quite a couple from when i did kits, come in handy)
If its a bought yeast deffinetly try doing a starter mate...
