has anyone used morgans master blend instead of steeping/sparging grain malts? they say a tin is the same as 1.3kg of the malt equivelant. wondering if it is better to steep/sparge your own or get one of these tins and use say half?

oky doky man thanks for the added info.

outstanding!!!

legend. thanks for that. i have 2 fermenters now and ill give that a go for sure.

i entered the recipe details into a s.g calculator that also gives other details and it said that this brew comes out at around 9.5% for 23L...... is that correct? if so holy crap! did you boil one or both of the kits to remove some of the bitterness? and just so im sure, is the above recipe...

do you have an alcohol leve for the dark wheat? was there any need to put the honey in and would you put less or the same in next time? cheers

on the subject of the dunkelweizen, do you think a base of 1 x LME wheat and 1 x LME light + hops at 45 mins, 30 mins + 10 mins, + the malt you suggested would turn out something decent? i got home too late and cant go to the brew shop till tomorrow anyways

LOOOOOOOOOOOVE dunkelweizen! thanks ill give it a go for sure. thanks again guys!

hello again. i want to make a wheat beer, with extract (LME wheat + LME light) + hops boiled at 45 mins, 30 mins and 15 mins for bitterness aroma and flavour (hallertau), im unsure if i will add corriander or orange peel, but i would like to steep some grain malt for more flavour etc to give it...

you are right. i want a hefeweizen. i dont want stout, brown or porter, and i dont really want to go AG just yet. i believe as i have only made a few extract beers, i have a long way to go with them before moving on. i want something like schofferhofer or franziskaner. can it be done with...

ok then, thanks for that i read your post and that makes sense. what i am aiming for is a wheat beer. it doesnt have to be exactly like hoegaarden, i actually prefer other wheat beers like franziskaner, but any wheat beer is delicious IMO. so, can i make a beer like this, using a method...

ok so one tin of LME wheat (1.5kg) and then the munich, vienna and crystal malts to make up the 2.7kg LME that was on the recipe? so that would make around 1.5 kilos of malts (500g of each). would i need to add any other fermentables since i am lowering the LME?

and once i have finished the sparge do i keep the bag of grain and put that in the fermenter like hops in a bag or do i get rid of it.

can someone please give me a dummies step by step guide to making a yeast starter from either a schofferhofer or hoegaarden beer bought from a bottle shop. this will be my first attempt. thankyou.

I am VERY interested in making this recipe: The Brew Hut Dunkelweizen (5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains) OG = 1.046 FG = 1.012 IBU = 13 ABV = 4.5% Ingredients 6 lbs. (2.7 kg) wheat liquid malt extract 8 oz. (56 g) German Munich malt 8 oz. (56 g) German Vienna malt 8 oz. (56 g)...

wont this be too sweet as there are no bittering hops. the hops in this recipe are only bolied to a max of 10 and 5 mins wont that just give mainly aroma and no bitterness? seeing that there are 2.8kg of malt extract that is?

thanks very much all! that makes it easier. i couldnt measure it myself as it was not at my house. it will be soon though!!!!

this is an awesome clone 1 x morgans blue mountain lager 1 x #20 malt plus 30g hallertau hops steeped for 10 mins then added to brew just before adding good lager hops.

anyone able to tell me where the 23L mark is on the brigalow fermenters? my mate has one to give me but it has no markings on the outside to show the 23L mark.

outstanding! thank you so much for you help guys. if there is nothing else anyone would suggest changing or adding to make it a better brew i will do that one tomorrow and let you guys know how it turns out.
