Wow what a great article. Thanks!!

I've done quite a few wheats but this was my first step mash. I took a recommendation to go 49 degrees, 62, 69, 78 mash out, looking forward to seeing if I note any difference Any tips on my next wheat?

Update. turns out I'm just a giant nonga'. It seems this one has pretty much cleaned up and it's now very hard to distinguish a difference between the two. Actually really like the sweet kind of taste Golden Promise is providing which is seeming to compensate for the caramelly type flavour BB...

Just a quick update: had a (admittedly only) one week old CUB attempt made with Golden Promise instead of BB Ale malt and it really lacks so far.. it's just muddled like it's not quite sure where it's purpose is Almost want to swap the unopened bag I have here for a BB.. but I'm hoping it comes...

Does that mean any of the information is redundant? No need to start a new thread, that would be wasteful

Here's a piccie. Could do with a further 20gms odd dark crystal

Well it's been in the bottle a couple weeks now. How's it taste?... bloody good actually! It's scarily similar to CD. Mine is a tadd lower in carb but apart from that I'm not sure you'd tell them apart easily. The CD had a frothier head too but that may just be higher carb So all in all I think...

Not much talk on the grist? Maisel's Weisse is a carrot orange ebc and packed full of flavour My best guess would be sweetness and flavour from Munich 1. 20 odd percent, colour from crystal. 1.5 percent odd, 50 percent wheat and 28 percent pils

Ooooh nice. I have gots to get me a bag of that Bo-Pils!

Wow this is going back Kels'! I remember you getting right into the Maris Otter for most things, are you still loving it? What's changed since this post for you in 5 long years brewing? Will be interesting to hear. I find brewing is like a long enjoyable journey of change Cheers!

Understand this one's a little old now but all things remain the same. Finding that I'm liking Golden Promise for most styles as base malt. It's just a nice malt with an ale spec ebc. I like the taste over BB, JW or even Weyerman for styles such as Megaswill lager and pale ale's I like TF...

Well, here's the wort. Very similar colour so far. 1.045, medium body mash

Chasing it down with my latest 100% Weyermann pilsner malt/Hallertau 34/70. It runs rings around the C.U.B with it's brighter 'zing' and aroma but in terms of mouthfeel and lacing they're actually both very similar

Just bought a stubbie of Carlton Draught. I find it actually quite difficult to believe there's any sucrose at all here. I know it's common talk that we hear all the time but it has a full malt finish. Actually better than I remember and stubbies are probably a good comparison since I bottle...

I have heard they ferment warm in the past but in saying that I've also done experiments with 34/70 and can't pick a difference with a pilsner recipe fermented at 13 or 20 whatsoever

Maybe I have bad buds :D but yea it was damn close!

https://www.victoriabitter.com.au/the-brew Not worth much but it's something

I made a really close YH lager not long ago by going 7% sucrose and pilsner malt. It was scarily close! I'd never had one before that, it came with a Brewbud advent beer calendar the Wife got me and I was suprised at the likeness with the lager I had bottled at the time. I do remember thinking...

@ MHB may I ask why the overpitch of yeast? Cheers

Dang. Already have the grains milled. Though I can always just see how it turns out. I'm pretty sure it'll still be good and go from there Thanks. I was just pretty sure a guy here who works at C.U.B mentioned roasted barley in one of the old threads but could be wrong. Definitely know he said...
