Lowering the CaraMunich to 250grams sounds likea good idea

wow thanks for all the advice... I guess whats happened here is I've recently read RAdical brews and want to work my way through some of those recipes (hence malt bill exactly from book), I like citrusy big hops and am not a fan of goldings and fuggles (sorry guys haha although Bramblings...

Just read Radical brews and ready to make my first AG beer, was just looking for some help in regards to my recipe, its loosely based off the Tire-Biter Bitter from Radical brews but a little less bitter and using Australian Hops... I've recently made some big APA's and looking for a very...

I'd go with some brett L, possibly some lacto and some commercial dregs you like.... although I've never brewed an oud bruin some of the other guys might have more knowledge

hey I'm in a similar boat trying to organize buying gear to go AG, and was thinking of getting a similar set-up to how they do it at G&G and had a few questions like, how did you transfer the mash into the bucket with the false bottom? And when mashing in a heating container (ie. pot or urn)...

yeah it is supposed to emulate orval, but in regards to your question to my knowledge you don't need to pitch another belgian yeast as this one only contains a small amount of brett which will start off mild and build up over time... I'm pretty sure its similar to fermenting with a belgian yeast...

cheers, um yeah I'm actually still researching all the procedure etc. saw a demo and grain and grape and got inspired to go AG but missed the mash :( so will have to go watch another one to learn mash thickness etc and what gear i need to get...

cheers for the replies :D

I've just got Beersmith and going AG very soon, was just confirming something I was playing around with... If i wanted a mash temp at 65C with 10 litres of water and 5kg of grain would my strike temp have to be 73C, thats what beersmith said if I've plugged it in right... Reason I ask is...

I tried one recently aswell and its a pitty i didn't carb them up higher for the swap, in case there were bottle bombs (didn't want to be responsible for someone losing an eye!)

although there are actually a couple of quality low gravity Saisons and Belgians already around such as Murrays and Temple Saison :icon_drool2: ...

Yeah I remember a while back I asked for some help with the Hightale Ale and they gave me practically the whole recipe... very helpful guys

So devastated just found my cube of Belgian strong which was inoculated with brett C for the past year! had burst and started leaking all over the ground <_< now there's bretty moldy stuff all over where I store my beers and only 4 Litres of Beer left!!! bad day haha lucky I have a few other...

kind of off topic but what are peoples thoughts on hops, do people boil low alpha hops or just dry-hop? I realize aging is preferable but i don't plan on keeping hops for 3 years... My latest Lambic i decided to experiment and only dry-hopped and added a (quite large) quantity and variety of...

:icon_offtopic: why is this i also find this happens with some beers

from what I've read Lambics are left on the yeast cake as the bugs feed on the yeast for nutrients over the long aging period usually from 1-3 years... Older LAmbics are more complex while younger ones are more one dimensionally sour... I think temperature control can go either way as When i did...

When I got o pre-drinks etc. I'll admit I'll usually buy what ever is cheap but when and when at the pub I'll try different micro-brews standard pale ales etc... But when I go to purvis or slow beer to buy a craft beer I will always look for one that will be more of an experience and possibly...

Does anyone have any recommendations for an extract brewer/ partial mash brewer?? in regards to getting a drier finish, I've heard if you partial mash with a base grain at whatever temperature it converts the rest of the malt extract/carbohydrates to that temp (as if you'd mashed it) I'm...

yeah i gave them an email and might call today

yeah my mate recently did Mountain Goat and its not that people like "mainstream" beer its that they want beer that's easy to get pissed off... (also they haven't replied to my email which is well over 2 weeks ago) Yeah I've looked at kegs on legs and thought it was a little steep, 2 Brothers...
