    What software is the go for All Grain Recipes?

    Thanks for the validation on Beersmith. One question for Beersmith advocates, is it a tool that you can use to assist with modifying recipes to cater for size differences that you may decide to brew? Does it also give instructions as to how things would happen on brew day? I will see if I can...

    What software is the go for All Grain Recipes?

    Hi all I have been brewing FWK's from my local brewshop for a while and have had great success with them. I recently decided I wanted to look at expanding into AG and bought a Gen 4 35L Brewzilla. I haven't been around the forum for a while so I am not sure what the go to application is these...

    Adding fruit to a Milkshake IPA FWK

    Hi all I have just pitched a Milkshake IPA FWK with Danstar New England Yeast made by Grain and Grape. The website (Fresh Wort Kit - Milkshake | Grain and Grape) says that fruit can be added at High Krausen which I expect will be somewhere around Sunday. This is my first time adding fruit to a...

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Quick question on the Muntons range if anyone can answer. The Dr Smurto recipe for the Choco Porter Extract - Dr Smurto's Ashes IPA - Recipe Kit says you need Light Malt Extract. Would I be correct to assume that this is the same stuff Coopers Liquid Malt Extract (LME) - Light - 1.5kg can |...

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Will do, cheers. It would be awesome if there was some sort of site database for all these hidden nuggets of info regarding what people have discovered over the beer making journey.

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Cool thanks. This makes it clearer. I think I may give the syrup route a go rather than essence as I am keen to try natural carbonation with sugar having not done it before. I have done a couple of pressure ferments which has achieved carbonation as well so I presume that could also be an...

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Homebrew is definitely no laughing matter and it doesn't make a difference how the end result is achieved as long as the flavour is where it needs to be. This will be the first time I have played around with anything like this as the FWK's have been more than adequate. It's the variety I am...

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    I am indeed fortunate that I have a good HBS just down the road. They are only doing postal orders at the moment so cannot drop in to get the things I need which is a shame but it is what it is. Thanks for the info re the syrup, with your home made recipe would you use all that in a standard...

    Yeah, Grain and Grape in Yarraville, Vic is only about 15 mins drive from me and where I often buy the FWK's from.

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Thanks Grmblz, that is good info, especially around the freshness aspect. I did notice that KL were out of stock for a fair bit of their extracts which your post explains why. Reading the KL instruction manual for some of the kits, nothing seems onerous or difficult in any of this even when...

    Kegland Recipe Kits - Anybody tried and are they any good

    Hi all To date I have been using Grain and Grape FWK's with success to make some nice tasting beers which I have mostly been happy with. Like all beers you never know if you will like them until you try and so some are not quite to my liking but on the whole they have been great. I have gone...
