Yeah I think my process is fine but I'm still new to mashing grains. The final gravity on these batches was 1008 on both. Original gravity was 1042 and 1044 respectively, which from my understanding a packet of US05 should have no trouble with. I store hops in the freezer in the packet they...

Hi huez, I use a cooking thermometer to measure it through the mash process and strap the probe to the fv when fermenting. I always pitch the yeast at or below 20c and then set the temp to 18c. The off flavour isn't like alcohol, I've experienced that before from high fermentation temps and its...

Sorry Brad, I'll go into more detail. I'm basically following this process to do a 19 batch but also adding a bit of dme to get the gravity up: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/55617-step-by-step-biab-lcba-clone/ At a high level I'm using a 19 litre pot to mash 3kg of grain in 15 litres at...

Hi there, I've got some issues with US-05 recently. I've have just started doing some biab partial brews (using DME as only about 15% of the fermentables) after starting with extract brewing about 18 months ago. The first partial I did about a month ago has the worst off flavour I've ever...

Hi there, I've used both fridge and chest freezer and have to say I find the freezer is much better for fermenting. It's very efficient and stable when at ferment temp and cold crashing. I fill it up in there so I only have to pull it out at bottling time which really isn't a problem for me...

Hi there, Moving interstate and need to offload my bottles. About 150 bottles, all in crates free to good home. Pm me if you're interested Cheers, Tom

thanks burrster, yeah I'm thinking it might not be best until I've tried a galaxy brew. I'll probably use something else for the bittering addition, possibly magnum as i have some of that lying around and its worked well every time I've used it. Might not be true to this beer but I just want to...

Hi guys, Sorry to bump up an old thread but I'm keen to give this one a go soon. I've seen posted around the forum that galaxy can give a hash bitterness if used as the bittering addition at the start of the boil. Has anyone experienced that with this recipe? Cheers Tom

Thanks guys. Sorry I missed the choc malt, was meant to be 100 grams but I prefer your idea of changing the light crystal for something darker. Brew master, do you reckon 20 grams of each for dry hop?

hi there, I'm pretty new to this, have a few extract and kit brews under my belt with some hits and misses. I recently tried the james squire hop thief APA 7 and really like it. I wanted to try to make something similar but have no idea what I'm doing so I thought maybe some folk on here could...
