Also, adding dark grains later saves pH hassles with your mash. I use Carafa spec II in mine, a good choice for the style imho.

For my Black IPAs, I cold steep the black grains and add the juice to the boil. Gives good colour and some black flavour, but none of the flavours that I'd enjoy in a stout/porter. For slightly more black flavour you can add your dark grains at mashout instead of cold steeping them.

Do you have rats ? I've got the 60l mini wheelie bins, perfect for 25kg sacks. Put a half dozen in the walk in wardrobe, cause, well ,the rats won't find them in there. Lying in bed one night heard the sound of rats chewing, sure enough, the buggers ate through the lid ( the thinnest bit)...

Don't think there's anything to spoil. If worried, carbonate some water and taste

Make up some sugar syrup, let them dose to desired sweetness in the glass. I have a Dutch relative who loves those sweet Dutch fruit beers, works for her.

Brisie, If it's CB, I'll be up for 2 bags.

Interesting info from buzzfeed :

I'm not looking forward to the Reds game tonight, not after the pre season games anyway. Always a chance of a surprise though. Larkham seems to be doing a great job at the Brumbies, they're playing very well.

When I was in the surf club we did seafood tray raffles at Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday Arvo's, God must have really liked us because one of the boat crew always won the last draw of the day, even without buying a ticket, divine intervention if you like. :D

me too edit: Cheers

I just want to know if Stu has had a beer

Coodgee, The fawcett/bairds brown to me is dry and almost coffee like. Taste is pretty subjective though, so others may think differently.

Agree with Parks, Simpsons is @ 500 EBC, Fawcett is @ 130. I've not used the Simpsons, but the lighter brown malt is very tasty I don't use any black in porter, just a personal preference Grist usually : MO 77% Brown 10% Pale Choc 5% Dark Xtal 5% Light Xtal 3% This gives a nice...

lime marmalade is the ducks nuts of marmalades

The pacific ale is about 40% wheat ( I use 50/50 raw to malted wheat which you can't do via tins) so the closest you'll get is to grab a tin of the coopers wheat malt, which is actually 50/50 barley/wheat . If you want to up the barley % a bit add some dry malt.

Yob, I've bought a fair bit of stuff off this mob, they have a 51mm diamond hole saw for $12. For a one off use you couldn't go wrong, just use plenty of water and go slow. http://thk.hk/online-cart-dtl.php?cid=1&sid=30&ssid=0&id=341 My norton security is trying to block this site, not sure...

wrap them up in some muslin cloth with some dental floss to pull em out

I find calypso hops in wits give a slight peppery hit

I have the same blichmann MT as JDW, works well. I'm not sure 3600W for your kettle is enough ( it might be ), my kettle (70L insulated double batch ) has 2 X 2400 W elements, although I turn them down a bit once boil is reached. The 3600W may get a boil going, might just take a bit longer to...
