What sort of IBU figure do you come up with using that amount of hops?

I have got all of the above, will give this a shot, thanks.

I recently pulled apart the tap on my Crown Urn thinking that it might need a clean. It didn't really, but since I put it back together again it has a very slow leak. I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to change it for a ball valve tap. Major problem is that I can't get the old...

Does anyone out there have a good recipe using Columbus? Short of clicking on every recipe in every data base, I am hopeful that somebody can help.

Sorry, can't help you with the technical stuff like reabsorbing off flavours. I don't rack to secondary, probably because I am paranoid about infection. I figure that every time you open your fermenter you are inviting the nasties in. I leave my temperature controlled brews for at least 7...

If you have a concealed element in your 40L Crown Urn then here are the measurements you need. Use a 600mm steel rule. Diameter is 33.7cm The first 6 litres measure 78mm (to cover the element hump) Thereafter 1 litre = 11mm I use Brewmate as a calculator to work out how much water you need for...

Who gives a rats. Qld doesn't need posers like him.

I was lucky, my wife said to me, several years ago, "if we get a new fridge then you can use this one for your (K&K) brewing". That was the start of the slippery slope.

Maybe we can all get on the banned wagon!

Six hours a day is less than half of what they need. If you keep the water up I doubt that the sun would do them in. It is difficult to get a good crop this far north because we just don't have the daylight hours, but you can grow enough to try dropping them into a brew fresh. Don't plan on...

I would contact Rupert, see the post above yours. I bought from him about 5 years ago, good value and plenty of info on how to look after your rhizome.

+1. Not exactly a kids show but great.

Thanks Michael, will do this one with the different hops and try the Carapils etc next time.

A bit OT but I was about to brew your recipe for JS150L from another post. I see that you have changed 400g Munich 1 to Carapils and Melanoidin, and the hop schedule as well. I can't change the grain bill but can certainly change the hop schedule. Do you recommend that I do so?

OK, you just sit back, be comfortable, and bitch to your heart's content. Someone else is doing the hard yards for you.

And Nick, when did you ever serve your country? In any way? Ed: Bob

Thanks for trying to keep this on track. I read your later post but decided to quote this one. Like you, I use a 40L urn and measure as you do. My concern with using the actual kettle volume to measure efficiency is that if you , for instance, use 80% as your efficiency on the first page of...

Very succinctly put Ray!

I can't remember who posted this recipe, the old data base had the name of the poster. However I would assume that since I had a different recipe that the OP had changed his recipe at a later date. It is quite common for people to improve on/tweak their recipes. They still call it by it's...

Maybe something got lost in the recipe db conversion. I have made this beer using Galaxy with an IBU of 31.4. My hop schedule was 6g Galaxy (12.3% Alpha) @ 60 mins 6g Galaxy @ 30 mins 20g Galaxy @ 5 mins for a 23 litre batch size. OG 1.044 FG 1.010...
