    Mash thermometer help

    Hey all, I recently bought an Alla thermometer but am having trouble using it. I'm trying to test it in boiling water at the minute next to my digital cheapie in an actual pot on stovetop but can't get it to rise past about 95 degrees? I try putting just the red tip submerged and the temp...

    Using wheat in pale ale

    Thanks Mark I don't personally want cloudy, was just an observation that people say wheat remains cloudy. It doesn't.

    Using wheat in pale ale

    I've never understood this haze people speak of when using wheat. Even raw wheat I end up with kristallweizen. Give a beer a time and it will always turn clear

    Using wheat in pale ale

    Just considering a grain bill for the next pale, and I have a few kg of malted wheat to use up. Never used it in anything but wheat beer before but am keen on giving it a shot in a pale Am I right in thinking that wheat is a good way to make a pale a little less 'cloying' less 'full' in the...

    Maris otter golden promise pale ale?

    I thought MO and GP was a specific breed of barley? They do both look and smell very similar to me too. Not enough experience taste wise yet

    Maris otter golden promise pale ale?

    UPDATE Well I've done 1x GP pale with all galaxy and 4% crystal. Great! Nice creamy mouthfeel and lasting head. Everyone likes this one The GP/MO mix without crystal is thinner and is just a liiittle watery but still really good and more 'refined'. Both have the same hop schedule and I can...

    Galaxy Amarillo pale ale?

    Here's what I'm thinking Galaxy is REALLY pungent so I'm trying to subdue that a little. The 5% sucrose I like to dry it out a little. I find them a little cloying malt wise without. Like too thick compared to a nice commercial example

    Galaxy Amarillo pale ale?

    Hey, I have a bunch of these two hops and wanting to see if they're going to work well as a combo in a pale? Any opinions and/or suggestions for me? Looking for a tasty quaffer I have Maris Otter, BB ale malt and Golden Promise on hand as well as cara 40, crystal 120 and crystal 60

    Redback Clone

    Update: Well I've been bottled about 10 days now and decided to pick up a Redback on the way home to A/B Well, how'd you go? (Redback pictured on right) Redback is not what it used to be.. I think they're using something like Munich or something to add this strange sweetness. It's just not...

    Why so bitter?!

    I don't know weather I'm one of a kind, alone in this vast Universe but some days all beers taste GREAT. Absolute perfect balance of malt sweetness and hops. And I'm talking any beer (bought, brewed, whatever. Any kind) I'll go to have a few the following day and whammo, they all taste like...

    Yeast harvest re-pitching

    Well I bottled a pale today and decided to remove half the slurry and pitch on top. Just a few hours on and I'm at full Krausen..! Making sure I keep it a bit below what I normally would due to the extra heat but this is fantastic. M44 yeast usually takes 2 days to start so really nice to have...
