Step aside, ladies. Here's a cover of "Number of the Beast". These guys kinda make it their own ! The 2+ minute guitar & bass intro sucked me in..........

Bravo. It should have been in the 'off topic' forum though. And I always felt, after seeing the photo 'quoted' several times, that you should have worn a baseball cap. No, a Trucker's cap.

EDIT: @ Casey So why did you mention gluten-free beer ?

The aroma of honey ? What sort of honey did did you use? Sounds like a pretty good addition.

No, it was a general question on your findings with cold-steeped material vs hot-steeped material in iced coffee. If this is a regular treat for you, maybe you could try the same weight of ground bean in a hot-steep, let it cool down and see if the flavour is the same (obviously despite the...

tee hee hee. Yea, I was. The calculations were a complimentary service. Although if I'm out your way, I'm going to drop in for a couple, and entice you into an arm-wrestling competition. :lol: I'm going to put the 'responsible hat' back on for a moment. You mention Gluten-Free. If for some...

Jamie ! Good to see you back. How did that nervous first brew turn out? Were you happy with the results? As for your question, it depends on what you mean. Maltodextrin seems to pump up the 'head', and/but gives a bit of a 'creamy' feel to the beer. Does nothing for It's use should not be...

You should also apologise to manticle.

Sully: Yea but it's not "Today Tonight"

Could that be less caffiene extracted ? As we know with hops, different extraction methods yeild varied characteristis, and so the same 'general' rules apply to other home-chemistry methods, and other plant matter. Would you say that you use the same amount of 'coffee' in a cold steep, or...

My hack calculations suggest that with your recipe, factoring in all the fermentables you listed: (I'm assuming the attenuation of course) 25 litres @ 1.038OG = 3.6% ABV 23 litres @ 1.042OG = 4.1% ABV 21 litres @ 1.046OG = 4.5% ABV 19 litres @ 1.050OG = 5.0% ABV Now, with 1/2 kg dextrose...

I thought it was to clump proteins after a boil that included grains. I'm a bit confused now, because I don't see any grain on your ingredients list. Also not sure why there's yeast nutrient in the pack. I have done many beers in a style-framework similar to yours, and fermentation has never...

Is tipping hot wort through a strainer/colander considered bad, if it only makes up 40% of total wort ?

Oh, so THAT's what a hopback is all about.

+1. Very cool.

The 60 minute addition of 15g Cascade on top of the kit bittering will make it quite a bitter beer, although the sweetness of the LDME will knock that down a lot. If you want a honey flavour in the end result, you should think about adding it after the fermentation has died down a bit. Or so I...

yea I read about that, someone threw in a good quality chocolate bar and the oils were a bit of an issue. But could this have been from the dairy component, or added oils ? Or the oils that are part of the cocoa... there are still natural vegetable oils present, right ? Wonder if there's a...

I think I stood in one of the boxes used for that historical event. Or something similar (because it wasn't a drum). At the Police & Justice Museum in Circular Quay.

Dave70, I recently made a porter that's been ready to drink for a week, and it's has a slight chocolate and an interesting 'burnt coffee' taste. I added neither chocolate or coffee, so it may be that you just need to look at how you use grains. This may not help, because it's a...

That is so disgusting :lol:
