    Can somebody please help with 2 main questions I have. 1, how important is changing HC03 as I'm always low but don't think it matters 2, what are the 2 main ones we are looking for when we say hoppy or malty or fuller or dry, Ca and Cl? This was my last target Ca 101, Mg 15, Na 31, Cl 89...

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    I just took this pic of the pale and its 56 days old. No off flavours that I would say, just overly sweet/caramel. My mates love it but I'm not a fan, pretty convinced the malts got stuffed up.

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    Did a Neipa a few weeks ago, turned out great and is all gone. Only difference is I did an 11litre batch using a corny keg as the fermenter. 8g litre dry hops, no lose of hop aroma of flavour over the month.

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    Iam now pretty confident in my process and as the beer has not changed at all over time I am going to go with the theory that I was given 400g of crystal instead of the light Munich.

    Looking for hop plants

    Looking for standard pale ale and ipa styles. I know its to late for rhizomes but thought cuttings might still be ok before winter comes, iam a complete noob in the garden though and am happy to be corrected.

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    Thanks Mark I do a full volume biab I measure the temp with a temp controller in a thermowell a few inches from the bottom and always stir and measure with my thermapen at the top. I stir at the 20min mark when I take my mash ph sample and then once more at another 20mins or so. As you say that...

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    It is a cloying toffee taste to me, it may be i just don't enjoy the crystal malts taste as when I do a smash beer I seem to enjoy it more for a everyday beer. Was fermented at 19c for 4 days then taken up 1c a day to 22c then cold crashed for 36hours at 1c.

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    Thanks for the reply. I only tried the bicarb as the local home brew guy suggested it but I really didn't see the point either. Was a 60min mash and 60 min boil, have included brew stats, was off on numbers by a fair way this brew. I'm starting to suspect and infection of some sort as my last 2...

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    Iam having a constant issue with my beer coming out overly sweet. Could you please look over my last recipe and see if anything stands out. I have taken alot of precautions to lower oxygen to the point that this beer wasn't even dry hopped and then all the standard low oxygen options were...

    Hop stand utilisation

    Thanks. I personally wouldn't have thought the recipe IBU's were accurate as I have brewed a few recipes of my own using this software with large 80c hopstands and have not noticed large bitterness levels. Will go for the extra 60min addition and assume the lower levels predicted are close enough.
