Perfect, thanks

Further to this, when I go to bottle and prime is it necessary to bring the temperature back to say 18 deg, or can I prime a 2deg and raise the temp after that

Ok, thanks everyone

Awesome, thanks, reducing temperature now. Cheers

Hello I am doing this recipe http://aussiehomebrewer.com/recipe/1339-bullshead-kolsch/ And was wondering....

I use the spreadsheet app in google drive (google documents).

Yes add water, about 2 litres.

As for measuring the temperature to -check mash temp. (obviously giving a stir) -check wort temp before pitching. it can be tricky as I have noticed that when aimed at bubbles it reads a lot less of a temperature than when aimed at the wort without bubbles. So as mentioned above, not so great...

Ok.... one other thing, Any know if crash chilling will effect the hops addition times e.g. 10 mins and 5 mins

Great, thanks a lot

This recipe calls for 0.2kg of raw wheat. I am planning to BIAB this, is there a suitable replacement if I can't get raw wheat. Some suggestions I have seen around are Torrified wheat, wheatbix... Thanks

Hi Tony, great recipe. I did my first AG and first BIAB on this one, this is a great tasting beer. I would have to agree that it is better than the original. Will be making it again a.s.a.p. Thanks a lot!

Ding, light just went on. Okay, of course, yes I am doing biab. Thanks a lot
