same problem with my Keg King...really looking forward to the new Mashmaster model... anyone got an ETA on its arrival?

thanks for your help Dan, i will keep playing with it. really looking forward to this one!

aahhhh i see. I was looking at OG. I think his pre-boil was around 1.040 I just subbed out one tin of LME for DME to adjust my pre-boil gravity. My preboil gravity is now 1.039 and IBU is now 61. OG 1.053 and 5.1% alc. getting closer... should they be the same? cheers!

thanks for the reply, yep same gravity... really want to give this a crack but i want to be true to the recipe. If i add the 2 tins of LME to the boil then it brings it down to 50 IBU. Should i just do that? I don't really want to as it will be harder to bring it down to 18 degrees in the ice...

hi everyone well done on such a great thread! I am doing WWDWD's original recipie in an 18l boil. I have put it into Brewsmith and If i add the tins of extract after the boil as usual then the IBU's are 75.3 I put the exact same recipe and steps into Iains Spreadsheet and it says the IBU's will...

hi everyone i have been getting into extract brewing but have been coming up with consistently the same issue.. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me mad! Every brew has finished short of the mark! I have read everything i can find on this issue and believe i have tried...

thanks for all the help :) i think i will knock back the wheat DME and use Amber LME instead of the Dark LME. I am drinking a dark amber brew while i write this and it is great but just has no head. it has a nice lacing around the edges but thats it.. i used the calculator and it said to put...

I used Isinglass one one batch but it didn't really do anything. I will have to give gelatine a go next. thanks for the tip Sponge :)

I have just bottled 3 variations PA and they all smell and taste spot on but they all have chill haze... (it took them about 3 hours each to cool down to pitching temp.) Not too worried about this batch as PA is hazy too, but for future brews it would be nice to produce some clear beer. I don't...

sweet i just ordered a copy too, thanks guys :) I like the sound of the SMASH idea too. i have a bunch of Pacific Gem that i might use in a dark amber ale... yum yum

sorry I am not sure where to post this but I am putting together a recipe in Beersmith and would like to know peoples thoughts...i am aiming for a rich but smooth chugger :chug: any ideas on yeast?? I am shooting for a low ABV Extra Dark Amber Ale... I am trying the no chill method with this so...

thats one might fine looking brew!

Hey Matt, should I add a bit more yeast into the FV to make sure it gets the job done? I have just done 2 more batches with no mistakes! lesson learned ;)

thanks Matt... i added 500g to take the edge off. its going to be a punchy brew! oh well lesson learned ;)

thanks mate. they were only 30g at 15 mins and 30 @ 5 mins... oh well next time i will chill it down faster. thanks for the tip!
