So are you going for an american style or is that just what you have. All in all this shoulf make a nice one. I would swap the raw sugar for 500g dextrose just to balance mouthfeel with all the malt and to boost the alcohol a bit. Happy brewing. Cheers jake.

Thanks mark, i thought i would be rambling on a bit, it makes sense that these things are mixed up between beer and wine making, but being under the advice of a winemaker i sure learnt alot i may not have ever learnt. I should be coming up to your shop soon so i will introduce myself and grab...

Thanks mate, i have some 34/70 in the cupboard also and was going to use that. Also was thinking of not using crystal but carapils instead and some cracked wheat. *250g carapils *150g wheat *2x1.5 kg light pale malt *250g dextrose *200g my own toasted barley for that crisp bready flavour *...

So BUM are you going to add anything of value to my post or are you just going to cause **** with me, wait i mean complete crap??? I am simply asking for advice on a recipe and not trying to get into an argument about different types of munich malt and what they can or can not be used for or...

Thanks mate, that sounds pretty good, i will have to research it some more also does anyone else have anything they would like to add? Cheers jake.

Yes there is, and thanks for not talking complete crap "simpefisherman" lol.

please BUM dont come into my topic and post that i am talking crap, i dont know you, knor have we ever dissagreed on anything that i am aware of. i do do partial mashes for all my brews but not to use the grains as a base malt, just to extract colour and aroma as i also use extract malt tins...

so what do you think of this, i have just bottled a belgian blonde style ale that took 18 days to reach 3 consistant readings on the hydrometer. as i was tasting the finished wort, the beer tasted like one of my best and would not change a thing. i did dry hop with SAAZ and Hallertau but a the...

+1 for the bottleing wand trick. i use a wand and have never had a problem with the level of beer in the bottle, the wand makes them all equall also.

hahahahahahaha,,,,,now i get the name. good call king kong, i like it, and so true.

hi ianh, thanks for your advice, though my biscuit grain is pearl barley that i toast my self and this just breaks down during steaping (this stuff is usually purchased for making soups or casseroles i use it all the time as i am a chef), and the munich grain i buy is freshly cracked from the...

Good Morning All, I was helping a friend put together a recipe for a kits and bits BECKS clone, and i couldnt help wanting to do one of these myself. however i would like to do a full extract recipe and just need a few ideas on the malt tins and hops. i have a few types of grain in the...

looking at your OG 1050...i would say that for your ingredient list your reading of 1015 sounds finished to me, i wouldnt think it would get much lower than that with your ingredient list. it sounds like it would produce a nice beer, i have brewed with golden syrup before but 200g of good honey...

Can everyone let me know what they think of this recipe as i may do this next after my becks clone. cheers jake.

Hey King Kong, its great to see more people stepping into the homebrewing world, trust me you will never look back. just remember every time you do a batch even if its the same recipe, they are all still different so dont be surpprised if it doesnt turn out the same a few times. This recipe...

he had a look at the website but steared away from their recipe as they sugested using ingredients that doesnt seem lik it will make a british pale ale...for example Coopers Draught Kit and an american style yeast. we came up with our own recipe for him and it seems it will be a cracker...

I would use the kit, 1kg dex, 23L and steap 15g por pellets. This wont add very much bitternes but will be similar to a coopers pale ale. I have done this recipe before but i added the zest of 3 limes and the juice. This will make for a very special summer kit beer. The por has great aromas but...
