Going with half kilo of dextrose and see what happens

Come to that realisation to manticle got it confused with Weyermann choc wheat. Can't find it now but thought I read it was a suitable substitute. Now wondering what my options are, thinking of adding a can of liquid malt??? Dosnt taste too bad don't really want to through it

brewed a dark wheat beer with 55% gladfields ROAST wheat malt, BIAB Mash 67deg. Og1.045 but fermentation has stalled at 1.028. Added second yeast packet but still no go. Does anyone know if this malt is a fermentable malt or is that it

Any chance someone with a GF could tell me the hole diameter in the bottom perforated plate? looks about 2mm but not quite sure

Definitely a 10 jet mongolian, I do 25lt BIAB batches in an 40lt pot and used a standard 2 ring burner and reg for my first 10 brews but decided I needed a bit more grunt so I purchased a 10 jet mongolian from GAMECO, I made a 3/8th BSP extention tube with ball valve to link to the gas reg. Only...

Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer do a pod cast on all things brewing (LINK) brew strong , I am slowly listening to them but I have not got up to "the boil" yet, but on there "chill haze" talk I got the impression a more vigorous boil was better.

I'm with super, I can normally get about 75%, but I found plenty of stirring (a potato masher is good) and a 90 min mash does the trick

Last week I bulk primed a 27lt pilsner, boiled up 175g dextrose in 500ml water, cooled to room temp (I pulled the fermenter out until the temp was up to room temp also), racked to second vessel, added dextrose water and gently stirred. I was worried about the dex amount as beersmith gives you...

just put my second cider down today, 11 liter batch (6 lts apple, 5lts pear, no preservativs cheap stuff), 400g lactose, wyeast cider, ferment at 19 degress, OG at 1.058. Tried a 21lt black rock kit but found it to dry even with 500g of lactose, just hope my small batch isn't to sweet..

I stir and check temp every 20mins or so and do notice the temp at a normal level, but I've been using a plastic spoon. Going to make myself one of those super mashers like BribieG

Hi brewers, I brew BIAB with a 40lt pot, brewed a larger on the weekend using 4.5kg pils, once I got my 16lts of strike water up to 73 (I sparge and dunk), I noticed temp differences depending where I put my temp prob, 65 on the side of the pot and on top where the liquid has no grain...

Hi, I made a similar cider 6 weeks ago (Black Rock Cider, 750g Dextros, 500g Lactose, 6lts Berrie apple juice). If your sister likes a sweet cider I'd go for 1000g lactose MINIMUM, my cider is still very dry, I cut it with a quater lemonade to sweeten it up. I found the 750 dextros is a bit to...

Hi all, just finished put my second Biab Ag + No-chill into the fermenter, learnt a lot from my first brew and changed for my second, didn't get enough data to get an accurate efficiency result for my first try but after no-chilling my second for 48hrs I came out with an OG 1.032 compared to a...
