You need the beta glucanase enzymes from the malt to work on the beta glucans in the cereals.

71- 72 is glycopretein but will also hit alpha. Your regime looks good.

If it has stalled, you need to pitch an active starter. Gentle racking can also help. Measuring with an hydrometer, yes?

*******s have all but destroyed my pumpkin plant which was flourishing and flowering beautifully a week ago

Yes. But mash out 78-80.

I absolutely agree- the fact that bittering imparts flavour is a good thing as long as you use the right hop. Don’t stick chinook in a wit and expect it to be invisible.

Yes but switch 55 to 5 mins. And - chuck in a rest around 45 deg C for 10- 15 first. Beta Glucan as mentioned above.

Without the malted barley, the protein rest won’t affect the oats, etc unless they’re malted. The rest is to optimise certain enzymes present in the malt. Look at beta glucan rest and maybe short 5-10 min rest at 55 and again at 72 (as bookends to your main mash).

Bittering hop can absolutely affect flavour, especially in simple beers with little to no late hops.

I'd consider aromatic but would not go for munich in this style.

To be fair to the BJCP, they do use this kind of information to evolve - they are not stagnant or completely precious themselves. Their (now ex) education director* first became interested in Pattinson's blog and contentions some years ago and more recently worked with Ron to develop modern...

If you can get a Grimwood for a good price, go for that. I have bought cheap imitations before- the money saved gets spent later. Not a comment on that specific brand.

They're a regular in ibc six packs and I don't think I've had a repeat that I haven't specifically ordered extra. No duds yet, been a member over 12 months.

I haven't tried that particular offering but de molen are putting out some top drops.

Got any icebricks in the freezer? Wet towls around the fermenter, fan on the towels, icebricks in the water (or frozen pet bottles, keep rotating)

I have a beard when I don’t shave and no beard when I shave. I mostly shave. Deliberately grew a beard longish once (this year) - my lady mostly liked it as I reminded her of floki but there was apparently an element of serial killer in there too.

My rig isn’t exactly sophisticated now but I still miss my little woodfired setup sometimes.

If caused by infection, the flavour will likely increase until it's unbearable. If you are kegging and it's just residual, you can degas and regas a couple of times to reduce it. Boils are really important - try and increase your heat, definitely lengthen. Thirsty Boy recommended floating an...

You should add some munich
