so i have decided to drop it down to 1.5kg light malt and a bit more dried as was mentioned above. the amber ale extract brew i have done i did use 2 x 1.5kg tins and yeah it was sweeter than usual, but really nice though. this is my recipe now: * 1.5kg Morgans Extra Pale Liquid Malt * 150g...

haha, please tell me you poured some goo into a glass and drank it like beer, that would be even funnier that your post. your problem is, you are looking at a can of gunk that says "Chocolate Porter" 1.7kg Concentrated malt and hop extract. How do you expect this to be beer in the first place...

was actually reading up on this article the other day and decided i wouldnt mind doing a honey porter over summer for next winter. being a chef i wondered if i could enhance the honey flavour without adding too many more grains and giving it an overpowering nuttyness. I thought back to my using...

:icon_offtopic: how exactly is polenta used in the mashing process and does it give any flavours or self convert into sugar?? cheers jake.

hi james, and welcome to the site... the only cascade brand kit i have not done is the mahogany porter, in saying that, i had always had trouble with the cascade tins and getting them to taste good so i gave up on them and just used the more basic and cheaper ones. you can try again and you...

hi damian, thanks for your input, however i am wanting to do something with a combination of hops to get a complexity. i also have some cracked wheat i might use to add the 150 lashes look to it. does anyone know what hops are used in the JS 150 lashes pale ale?? cheers jake.

Hi all, about to put this on tomorrow night, can anyone add anything to this new revised recipe? Cheers jake.

If you dont use your stella, would consider selling them to me? Cheers jake

Yeah im the same, im into them staight away, though i usually have around 8 different types to choose from on the shelf so i keep about 9 of each batch and let them age. Trying 1 each month is awesome to see how they develop. But i dont think i could let them age all that long before i get into...

After reading the posts and nearly wetting my pants at MHB posts, i thought i would add my 2 cents aswell. I have brewed a MJ classic gold lager kit a while ago with equivalent to BE2 also used 200g crystal in the mash and i added 200g of just store bought sqeezey bottle honey that was in the...

Ok thanks mate, 5 - 7 days it is. Thanks for the helpful advice!! Cheers jake.

Thanks everyone, i have decided to crash chill my beers from now on. Would 3 days in the fridge be enough? Also putting it down to it being a dark amber ale and it may look cloudy through the brown pet bottle?? Cheers guys, Jake

Hey Guys, I have recently attempted my first full extract brew and the whole fermentation was fine, no issues. However, after about 10 days in the bottle the beers are still cloudy?? Any thoughts on this would be great, im assuming i should just wait a bit longer to see what they are gonna do...

yeah i was going to say i havn't seen a tin of Mangrove Jacks IPA before. i would probably try to find the coopers IPA or maybe try the MORGANS IPA Kit, it's nice aswell.

Yeah thats normal, its mostly just the sugars falling to the bottom, most yeasts are bottom feeding yeasts so this is a good thing. As the fermentation progresses the "sludge" will reduce.

This kit will not be like the coopers australian pale ale as coopers have not yet figured out how to dry their commercial yeast for homebrewing as their commercial yeast is much different. You can reculture the bottle yeast but that gets pretty complex for the newer brewers. Just make it as an...

Yeah you are totally right there mate, there are more important things to worry about first. Though with him looking around this site before he actually put on his first brew, there alot of pointers we can give him to make his first a better drink. I dont think he can really stuff up the...

Hi all, i am quite new to the CIDER brewing, i have brewed an apple cider in the past and also observed a mate brewing his first ginger beer from scratch. i was after some ideas or recipes for a mixed berry cider. i need to know what sugars, yeast, volumes and how much berries to use, or...

lol i bottle mine over a bucket also, but once i forgot to empty the bucket and the next day i was in trouble off the Mrs because my 18 month old son had found it and tipped it all over himself. she though i was getting him to sample my brews for me. hahaha he would too the little bugger. sorry...

haha yes i have an obsession like that also, 4x pilsner glasses 4x pilsner glasses (different type) 2x Goblet Style (op shop) 6 x different types of german stein glasses 6 x belgian ale glasses 6 x Cuvee Style Glasses 3 x rather large beer jugs ( for decanting ) and here is the best part...
