    Suggested 50L Braumeister recipes for a wedding?

    Hi all, A good friend of mine is getting married in September and I'd like to make three beers, an American Pale, a Golden Ale and a Dark Ale. Do you have any suggestions for tried and tested 50L recipes with step mashing (because I can) that are going to please a lot of people? I usually do...

    Whats In The Glass

    Hey lads, Thought I'd commemorate the first two AG brews. Also my first time dry hopping and kegging. I can't upload the pic of the Pale, my computer is screwing me around and I just want to go to bed. My thoughts... Wow. Just wow. I can't describe with words just how pleased I am with the...

    'Beer Machine'?

    Beer machine = CHEAP. Knowing that I'll never retrieve that time back from my life = Priceless. "Is it as good as a premium micro brewed beer? I think it is. I'd buy this beer. Wow" Wow, alright. I haven't seen or heard such an astounding display of mediocrity and embarrasingly bad acting...

    first proper AG BIAB pale ale - wow

    Congrats man. I may be equally boring with the name for my pale - Galaxy Pale (guess what hop I used? ). I agree with everything you said and I'm brand new to the whole AG thing too, although unfortunately I have to wait another tedious and damned week until my first proper beers are carbonated...

    Solventy taste in Pale Ale?

    It's an S type with a small red cap. I have heard these red caps have better fruit fly protection than the blue caps? :D

    Solventy taste in Pale Ale?

    Thanks for all your helpful comments. After leaving it overnight the negative taste has dissipated somewhat. Still isn't there yet, but I'm hoping once I crash it it is going to be okay. Had seriously thought there was something to worry about. It didn't happen after racking, prior to racking...

    Solventy taste in Pale Ale?

    BUMP. I just found this. "Astringency can be caused by many different factors. Polyphenols or tannins are the number one cause of such flavors. Tannins are found in the skins or husks of the grain as well as in the skin of fruit. Steeping grain for too long or grain that has been excessively...

    Solventy taste in Pale Ale?

    I am so pissed. I thought my all grain Pale Ale was on track, I had tasted it on day four after a vigorous ferment at 18 degrees, and it was tasting like a pale ale... although obviously needing some conditioning. After day ten I decided to move it to a secondary (I have seen all the debates...

    Kegging Setups

    You mean I'm supposed to have the lids on while I carbonate the beers? :huh: :D Haha... of course, photo purposes only, the other lid was on top of the fridge. I've checked for leaks in the lines and everything is perfect. Just wanted to get a rough idea what it'd look like before I set it...

    Show us your brewrig

    It sure as hell does :P I like the simplicity. Maybe I can do one of these three vessel systems further on down the track as a fun project.
