+1, that will get you the aroma and flavour you want also. And don't forget to dry hop!

Gut feel is it'll be fairly bitter. Download brewmate and plug in your values and you shall know for sure.

Sounds like you might have got a bad one... I tried it for the first time the other week, loved it and wouldn't have described it as milk or sock in any way...

I am an absolute spastic with my hands and I managed to do it... So it has to be easy. Many guides on the web and this site.

I get 12 or so to a 2.6kg kk bottle.

Chinook is polarising... You might find you love it, I do!

Naughty word in the thread title, ummaaah!

Yeah... wow. It would be really interesting to work through a crate or two over a few weeks!

Do you have to register with compmaster to view your sheet or are they emailed out to entrants?

That's a lot of caramunich. You might want to pull it back to under 10%, it will be very sweet. You will certainly get a lot of lemon from motueka and sorachi ace.

If its a pale ale, 40ibu with 1044 sounds good to me :)

I know I'm gonna get torched for this... I used to use it for almost every brew, then stopped. Have not noticed any difference whatsoever. Get great retention on all beers without it. Never noticed it to add any flavour component either. Proper brewing techniques and appropriate mash temp...

How much are individual 20l cubes at this plasdene joint?

Chapel St Aldi still had a few left if anyone is tying to get their hands on some. Got the 5pk plus glass of steigl wiess too... score! Aldi you ripper! Also does anyone have a tip to make those 5l kegs not froth? Every time I've used one in the past its frothed.

Yeah I got the four pack a week ago and there were like 100 of those paulaner kegs... Thought 'no way are these gonna sell within a week'... Sadly mistaken. Gonna try another aldi tonight.

Just picked up one of these bad boys. The reviews on the net are so-so at best, anyone have any firsthand experience?

On a whim chucked together an amber ale SMaSH the other week. Dark Munich and Chinook, around 1050 and 40 IBU, also dry hopped. Got it into the keg last night. Marvellous combo, best smash I've done so far. The aggressiveness of the chinook cuts through the sweetness/maltiness of the dark...

The recent thread about Octoberfest beers at Aldi make me think of the first time I had Paulaner Octoberfest. It was one of those moments in the beer journey where you think to yourself, wow, I didn't know a beer could taste like that... You love it right off the bat and discover a style unknown...
