Perfect timing. I was just talking about this with Phil at Grumpy's a week or so ago. Put me down for: 1x 25kg bag of BB Ale malt 1x 25kg of Pilsner I'll keep a close eye on this thread also for those wanting to split bags of specialties as well. Great stuff!! AMac

I'd certainly be interested in seeing more results from those who try it. I could be swayed to give it a crack. but at this stage, like others, I like the time during the mash - 60-75 mins is a good amount of time to make sure everything is well in order for the rest of the brew, and makes the...

Ah - I see. Ok. Definately noted. And apologies, Rook, I see where you were going now. It almost seems to be that koelsch can be as complex or as simple to brew as you please. My general method is a mash in at about 66, mash out at 76. This works fine for the ales, porters and pilsners I...

Cheers Rook, a little help, but not quite what I'm after. We'll see what ideas others might put forward. But thanks again! AMac

Hi folks, Long time, no post. I'm having a crack this weekend (maybe) at my first Koelsh. I've researched varous websites (and used beersmith suggestions) to come up with the following recipe. Simple - and I also have all of the ingredients in stock: 4.35kg German Pilsner 0.25kg Wheat...

I'll go a bag of BB Ale Malt, thanks Darren. The question is - is it still available?

Sounds ideal, Dr. I think I'll have to make a special effort to ensure I'm appropriately brewed up in order to guarantee my contribution, as the day sounds like it could be a ripper.......pending support from other brewers, of course. Couple of annual leave days, perhaps... :super:

Just to put it out there, I am currently an uncertainly as to whether I'll be contributing this year or not. I've a pils on the go at the moment, and if it turns out I'll be right. If not, I am uncertain as to whether I'll get the opportunity to brew in time. I'll keep ya'll posted. Any...

OK - no idea what I'll contribute at this stage, but it hopefully won't be the same as previous, which have all generally started with 'P' - pils, pales and porters. Whats with that? I'm also chuffed with the idea of 1 stubbie each - makes it a lot easier, but it will be a shame to not have...

I'll book in for 1 bag of Maris Otter. That is all...................(or is it??????)

I understand from the web site, pedro, that the Gulf beers are now available at the Lion. Based on this advice, I believe I wil be visiting there very soon for a Sunday afternoon bevie. Well done with the further expansion and development of the Gulf Brewery. Great news!!!! Regards AnthonyMac

All done Batz. Sent PM to you too. Been flat out at work last couple of days and haven't had the chance to scratch myself. All sorted now tho.

Anything else of interest that you could mention, Hoops? Bit of pre-sale promotion work? AMac

My first try at the no chill method which i will report back on soon, but TOny, you are obviously a wee slight of a piss head and should drink less. AMac

Just for the record - I thought zymocenosilicaphobia was something that only I suffered from. Its good to know there is another out there. No empty beer glasses for me! Holy crap....empty beer glass - better re-fill before I start freakin out!!!
