    Couple noted from someone who burned through the lot pretty quick! Shane S' beer is far more hop forward than No. 20 Mick Brew. Meat Heads DSGA is a stout by accident in my batch. Id move Midnights American Brown before Wolfmans Malty Skunk fart. Big Flavours in the fart (no dim sims...

    Vic 2013 Xmas in July Swap - Recipe thread

    Hi Damn, 1.062 - 1.020 represents a 66.6% drop, (fitting for Damn) Attenuation range for wyyeast 1098 is 73-75%, this suggests the yeast hasn't attenuated to capacity. Not having used 1098 before i cant tell if you it slows down or stalls much sorry. But the figures above are always going to...

    The Worst Beer I've Ever Tasted

    Absolute Sacrilege Taz Tiger! Schlenkerla Rauch is fking delicious. Big Smoky Woody Bacon Flavour. I know its probably an acquired taste as you say, but as a lover i must ask: Maybe you copped a bad bottle? or would prefer a Boags/Cascade? :P

    60 year old stout anyone!?

    I drunk a 12 year old can of Mackeson's sweet stout, Sweet Sherry, very oxidised. I had Mad diarrhoea about 3 hours later

    Check out what percentage range Irish ale should attenuate on the wyeast site. 3864 unibroue yeast tops out at 79% and after two weeks primary 1012 was exactly that.

    Stone And Wood Ale Recipe

    Thats how I do it Brad, Usually dont Dry hop for much more than 4 days and I CC at the same time. A Pro brewer told me he Dry hops way longer and that you'll get greater hop utilisation if you dont Dry hop while CCing. but i haven't tried it as yet

    Floating 'Pie Tin' to reduce boil off?

    how are you boiling? if you've had too much loss you are probably boiling too hard. the tray reduces the surface area and results in being able to boil with less power. sounds like the exact opposite to your drama.

    Damn: Belgian strong Pours nicely clear with a big foamy small bubbled head, lacing the glass as it fades to 5mm. smells nice fruit esters and a tiny bit yeasty. Whats the Alc%? if its to style it hides the grog very well. nice flavours, creamy in the mouth and finishes dry. nice rendition of...

Strong Roast coffee notes on the nose, sweet up front and dry finish. maybe a touch a astringency but lets hold off till the...

    20% wheat in the grist could account for the haze techno. I wouldn't **** yourself about the head retention on this beer it wasnt lacking just fading slowly to a edges, whispy in middle, perfectly acceptable. Lower mash temp will help thin out the body of the beer, but again it was perfectly...
