    Perking up my AIPA

    Gday all, I am carbing up my first AG AIPA and on early tastes from the keg, it lacks the aroma I was after. The flavour is okay - well balanced but could be better. I went for a simple grist and the recipe was as follows (actually ended up SG of about 1061 and 6% ABV): Original Gravity (OG)...

    Light APA -Thoughts?

    G'day fellow brewers, With bub number 2 only a month away I am looking for something lighter to have on tap for the coming months. I have brewed Smurto's Light Amber which was great so I have heavily borrowed inspiration from that recipe. If I don't have enough Munich I will make up the...

    Pitching Lager Yeasts

    G'day fellow brewers and happy Friday :chug: I have perhaps a silly/basic question in relation to lager yeasts and at what temp to pitch them at. I will say up front I am a Ale brewer predominantly and since moving to AG (BIAB) my couple of attempts at lagers have been somewhat dissapointing...

    Safale 05

    G'day fellow brewers, I am close to kegging my latest APA, crash chilling and dry hopping at the moment. My 18 litre batch started at 1055 and to my disappointment finished about 1008 using Craftbrewer 12g Safale 05. I was aiming 1010-1012 to keep some malt body (I mashed at 67c). Early...

    Excessive trub

    G'day fellow brewers, Yesterday I pitched my latest APA. I got great efficiency (better than expected) using the 20lt pot BIAB method. I poured the wort into the fermenter and a bit of break, then I strained some more of the break to maximise the amount into the fermenter. Topped up to 19...

    Dry hopping carbed keg

    I have just carbed up my latest APA and my early tastes suggest my hopping rates are not to my taste despite a decent whack of dry hops in the primary at about day 6. The beer has decent malt and bittereness but the aroma flavour is not there. Would a hop tea added to the keg with about 20g US...

    When Do You Start Crash Chilling?

    I am looking for some critique on my chilling/fining method. To date I have been leaving an ale for example, at 18c for 14 days, then crash chilling for a few days, adding gelatine into the fermenter for a couple of days, then adding polyclar a day before kegging. The whole process is nearing 3...

    Wyeast

    Having started BIAB, I am now looking into better yeasts. I ordered 2 Wyeasts, American Ale and 1469. The US Ale seems much more swollen than the 1469, and I haven't smacked it as yet. Is this normal? I have kept them in the fridge since getting them. The only thing I can think of is when I...

    Extract English Ale

    I am looking at doing my first all extract brew in a while since BIAB took over my life, I am trying to use up some left over tins of goo. Any suggestions changes to this proposed English Bitter/Ale attempt? I haven't brewed many English style beers normally opting for APA's but I am looking...

    English Mild

    Fellow brewers, I am seeking advice on my planned English Dark Mild. Essentially I am using what I have on hand. My question is, is this too much Choc Malt? I know a little goes a long way... I also have some caraamber, caramunich, munich on hand. Any improvements needed such as mash temp...
