Thanks a heap. Will look into it. ABV = 5.1%, IBU = 37. The Colour is close and to be fair, not the biggest factor. is it in the ballpark?

Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster. Had a few 4 Pines Amber Ales on the weekend and am keen on attempting to recreate it. From their website: Tasting Notes:Ruby in colour, with rich copper hues. Hop driven aromas of currant & pear, rounded on the palate with a toasted malt character...

Colourphast strips are consistently 0.3ph above the genuine reading. Any idea on where to get colorphast strips? Can't find them anywhere

Sorry For the drop in, but where do you get the strips from QLDKev?

No chill, have no saaz.. originally i was just going to punch out a pretty standard german pilsner and then got given some hops from the yakima valley, so want to use that instead, it certainly wouldn't hurt to use the saaz though to keep it roughly pilsner like but I was just wondering if...

was aware of it's origin, has anyone tried this? if not, why not?

No idea as yet... Thinking a little warmer mash after a 20min protien rest, but haven't gotten that far

Hey all, I have some Willamette Hops sitting in my freezer, and at the same time, My far better half wants a pilsner in 2 months (currently pregnant), so I figured that I could do both at the same time... problem is, I'm yet to find a recipe that does that combo??? Anyone done anything...

thanks so far guys... mxd: Not really sure about temp... either 65 or 67degs. I wouldn't mind a bit of body in it but don't want a heap of sweetness in it either... just balanced 6g/L seems like a lot of dry hopping.. I don't make beer to save money so the cost doesn't worry me, the only thing...

Hey all, Looking to brewing my first IPA (BIAB - No CHill) and would love your thoughts on the recipe below, any feedback is welcome but I'm interested if the hop additions are enough / too much or too similar etc cheers! BeerSmith 2 Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com Recipe...

cool. Thanks

Hey all, Long time reader, first time poster.... anyhow, I've been AG brewing for a couple of months off recipes and figured I'd make my own. what are your thoughts? I'm looking to have a "sipping" beer (if such a thing exists) something complex, hoppy tastes / aroma without over the top...

Well, the beer is kegged and is drinkable. (that's a start) Is it LCBA? No. Is it great? No. But no bad characteristics and considering it's early (2 weeks) it will go down fine.... @beerandgarden - thanks for the recipes and info. will try the extract brew next. thanks all.

have one on the side of the fermenter... current;y 22 degs... (I know it should be 18) I'm currently using an old mini fridge and using ice blocks / manually turning fridge on / off if temp starts rising... not ideal. have an stc-1000 on its way :)

Thanks... Makes sense.. I think the hops were just for aroma.I read on here somewhere that carapils shouldn't be boiled, but steeped, but I'm unsure of that. Thoughts?

Hey all, I'm a long time reader, first time poster.. i've made about half a dozen brews now and figured I'd put up my recipe / procedure and let you fine people pick holes in it in order for me to learn..... here goes: recipe Little Creatures Bright ale Clone - Brewcraft Black rock IPA 1.5L...
