    Dedicated Braumeister Guide, Problems & Solution Thread

    bought my own braumeister 4 years ago, and have a similar problem. read online its common and more of an issue the older the model is. my screen starts to fog up part way into the boil, but I can just read the screen. most annoying

    kveik hop flavour degradation

    ok, final update for posterity: been on keg for a week, carbonated, and looks great. taste: the hops are muted - bitter, yes, but a week-old cascade beer, not at all. It's like the happiness of the hops are gone; on the positive side, the taste of the kveik (as minimal as it is with lutra) is...

    kveik hop flavour degradation

    as an update, i brewed a pale ale: 90% pale ale 10% crystal 60 25g centennial @60 25g cascade @40 55g cascade @15 55g cascade flameout the taste: I was expecting a rather strong bitter beer as Beersmith suggested 53IBU - I would say this was more like about low 30s IBU. the hops are fresh and...

    Hop tea

    I tried a hop tea - about 500ml water and 100g hops over 60mins in normal hop additions times. I was trying my hand at a partial mash, no boil, and adding water to meet OG after boiling. all in all, it was rubbish, the hop flavor was raw, grassy and strange but then, the beer itself was...

    kveik hop flavour degradation

    hrmm, looks like it may be time to learn how to make vegemite then and make use of those hops and their shifty, sticky mates

    kveik hop flavour degradation

    I've completed a few recipes with kveik now, and I'm scratching my head about hop flavor - or should i say, lack thereof. when I do a recipe I've used before with US-05, the same hop quantity when using kveik results in a muted result. has anyone experienced this ?

    34/70 ale fermentation

    update on progress my garbage heat sink fridge is most definitely garbage. I chilled the beer - post boil - to 16c (2 bags of ice, and 20L of 16c water for the chiller) fermentation kicked off after 1 day, rather vigorously; my garbage fridge can't handle this activity; each day it raised 1...

    34/70 ale fermentation

    thanks, mate, that is most certainly a rabbit hole. a very active thread indeed. seems promising, looks like I'm off to the shop to get a few packets of larger yeast.

    34/70 ale fermentation

    just received the latest BYO mag, and there is a dunkel recipe that looks interesting. but it got me thinking, what if I use 34/70 yeast and ferment at 18c. my fermentation fridge is a 'heat sink' system and struggles to go below 16c with 25L of beer here in the sweltering humidity of Singapore...

    Bavarian Weissbier Tips

    I'm obsessed with Weizen; both white and dark. there is so much to enjoy with malt and yeast flavours. and (as an older chap) it's nice to brew a tasty full flavour beer that can be made a bit lower in ABV (if you like). my own go from around 5 and down to 4. perhaps not to so ABV I enjoy the...

    Bavarian Weissbier Tips

    step mash for the winner for me - there is no replacement, especially if its wyermann malts being used.
