Hi, Thinking of doing a strawberry beer. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. I have a ton of Kiwi hops and looking at a grain bill of maybe 3.2kg Pale Ale 750g Vienna so far but yeah that is about it so far. Unsure of when to add the Strawberries but was thinking maybe 1.5kg end...

Cheers for the replies. If 2 packets might be needed then if I start with US-05 then throw m44 after a few days so I don't get lag would that work?

This is the recipe I generated on Beersmith I had photos though they won't upload :S American Rye IPA 21l batch 6.65% ABV OG: 1.068 / FG: 1.018 IBUS: 50.5 Colour: 14.6 EBC 5kg Gladfield Ale Malt 600g Rye 400g Wheat 300g Caramalt 200g Caraamber 20g Magnum @60 10g Chinook @40 7g Mosaic @20 7g...

Good ideas... Not sure how I came up with this but I have been working 10-12hr days so yeah 4.5kg gladfields ale malt 500g amber malt 500g rye 200g caraamber 200g medium crystal Magnum bittering, fuggles flavour/aroma Yeast undecided

Also is a liquid yeast going to make a big difference for an esb?

Big fan of the sunshine coast brewery rye esb, so I want to try my hand at something that has a slight warm spicy rye taste and is smooth at the same time. If anyone has a good recipe please share. I am lead to believe 10-15 % rye is a good start. Thinking..... 75% gladfields ale malt 12%...

Cheers for the very detailed response mate. I might purchase some for my HLT as I just put an order in for a more expensive one from Melbourne for the kettle, which is 3600w and has a 15amp I bought to attach.

La Sirene released their recipe and I brewed it and it was fantastic! It was in the beer & brewer mag about 2 issues back Only had pilsner, munich, wheat and hallertauer I think

This topic has got me on the rye porter train. Can you inform us how it turns out?

Cheers for the ideas. I did a very similar recipe as the one you posted pratty except with 2-row at 4.5kg. It was fantastic and all due to the hop combo, and to bring down the abv and malt flavour switching it out with pils would probably go down extremely well with non craft beer drinkers while...

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Silver-Tone-Tubular-Water-Heater-Electric-Tube-Heating-Element-AC-220V-3W/32219255674.html Ridiculously cheap heating element from China. Any thoughts on getting some of these?

I recently made a pale, brown, and coffee stout and I have the following ingredients. I was planning a golden ale or kolsch though I used up my magnum and mt hood hops. Trying to think of something easy going and a session beer for my workmates who are not too familiar with craft beer. Maybe a...

cheers for that. Yeah I saw it mentioned it is toned down compared to MO and that is why I thought it would be a better substitute for a blonde. I like the sound it will be like a pilsner malt with added flavour.

Has anyone used this malt that could share some thoughts? I am considering using this malt instead of MO in a blonde recipe I came up with

where did you print and buy the labels?
