Thanks 4 the advise peoples. It'll b an APA.ebc 17 - ibu - 33. Gives it a ratio of 0.7. BIAB Hop schedule is magnium 5g @ 90min Then late additions of centenial & simcoe.

Hey Guys, I always seem to figure these things out after the fact, but I’ve got too much crystal in the bill. This is my malt bill for a brew I’m going to be brewing tonight. This can’t be changed as it’s blended and cracked from the LHBS JW Trad Ale – EBC 3.5 – 4000g – 84% JW Dark Crystal – EBC...

It's my B'day tomorrow, so I'm skipping work, cranking up the Drum smoker for some pulled pork and brewing a 6.2% American IPA. My plan is to catch up with Game of Thrones in between smoking and brewing, Original Gravity (OG): 1.064 IBU's (Tinseth): 55 Bitterness to Gravity Ratio: 0.86 Colour...

Gday fellas. Well had a bit of an experiment brew day. I wanted 2 try a vanilla stout recipe.So without much thought or reaserch, I came up with following. 33L water pre boil. OG...beats me? Got a 20L cube full but. 2 x cans coopers stout 500g of mangrov jacks choc malt BIAB 600g of uncle toby...

Try a longer fermentation. 8 days seems pretty short.

Hey Guys, I live in Rocky and would be keen to meet up with some home brewers. I'd be interested in a brew day just as soon as our water gets back to normal. I haven't found the facebook page as yet. Speaking of Rocky water I get a water analysis every month from the council, so if ya want it...

I do the exact thing Bribie does. I've finally found a use for that kegerator shelf rack. :D

I'm finding the target harsh as well. Home brew shop gave me 2 x 90g Target for the price of 1. So I rekon the 2nd 90g can sit in the freezer while I try Challenger. Simo, What type of beers have you used the goldings flowers with in the past?

Cheers Manticle, I'll add those hops for my next hop buy.

What's the flavour like with your goldings flowers? Are they English goldings? I like the EKG and Fuggles together, when used in the right amounts its just the best. A sweet marmalade aroma and round bitterness to an English ale is something I'm still yet to find in my cubes. I'm trying small...

Hey Chris, I rekon the Wigman and Midnight are on to it. Keep being clean and patient with the your kegged beer. Kegged beer always seems to taste better after 3-4 weeks under Co2, as opposed to the force carb and start drinking, I usually prescribe to. :chug: (carnt help me self sometimes)...
