Sorry for the slow response, I got distracted by non-beer related things. Thanks all for the replies, really appreciate the feedback. And g’day Drakken, ha ha small world! thanks for the low down on how you’ve approached the mystery grain bags. I laid down a first brew on the weekend - an...

I about 12 bags of pre-mixed bags of grain based on recipes. They're labeled 'Black IPA', 'American pale', 'German lager' etc. The only problem is that I've got the bags are labelled with the beer style but htere's no information on what grains are in the bag or the ratio of grains. The advice...

Thanks! I ramped the temp from 20-23c and the FG dropped to 1.013. I kegged on day 14 and will report back on the result when I reach carbonation vol. There were some weird floaties on the top of the wort (see pic) which I'm a little concerned about...

Thanks all for the replies. The OG was 1.068 - a little higher than the recipe. It’s now down to FG 1.016. It’s was a 2 step mash - 62 and 68c. Yeast was co-fermentation: lallemand Voss kviek and Safebrew Abbey Ale dry yeasts. Here’s the recipe: Belgian Dubbel - David Heath - Cofermentation...

Thanks Bridge, I'll give that a go.

Hi all, just signed on to AHB and getting a lot out of reading all the posts. I'm trying my first Belgian Dubbel. Had a really active fermentation, kicking off after about six hours and hit high krausen by day 2. Its now day 7 and I've taken gravity readings two days apart which are both 1.017...

Thanks for the advice. I'll give the US-05 a go. Looks like it should produce a nice crisp pale ale!

Thanks Philrob. Luckily I don't what I'm getting into so I don't know whether or not its brave :). The recipe in your link looks tasty! The one I went with is from David Heath: Brewfather. I got into a bit of a panic while mashing and accidentally threw in most of a full 1kg bag of corn grits...

I'm pretty new to AG and have no experience with my own recipes. I want to make a beer of about 5%ABV with the following left over ingredients: Malt: 4kgs of Pale ale and 1.5kgs of Wheat malt; and Hops: Lorel and Sabro (about 15gms each). I'm wondering what is the best yeast to compliment these...

Morning everyone, I'm pretty new to homebrewing and having signed up to the forum because I want to learn and ask questions from more experienced brewers. I've done a couple of all grain batches and currently fermenting a Belgian Dubbel.
