Have always made ales, so no need to go to this stage. Have been reading up about largering, but always comes back to force carbed kegging. Just wondering if there will still be enough viable yeast cells to carb my beer. Have always bottled due to space/cash. Can I larger at -1c for a week or...

Just wondered if anyone knew what temps to ferment this yeast at. Tossing up whether to try it or pitch S23. Have a lager mashing now.

I use a big marine esky as a mash tun with the bung replaced with a simple tap, I always get grain thru the tap. I use a sieve while draining to kettle but line it with boiled filter wool. No extra grist in the boil.

Thats pretty much it. Filthy at myself. Suspect is the ball siphon- its gone the way of the fermenter!!

Have made so many versions of this and never thanked you Pete. My wife no longer worries about the time and money spent on my brewing . Thanks !!. My fav version of JAO is no cloves, Blackberries instead of raisons, blood oranges, and 3 or 4 star anise, done with a nice dry style white wine...

Have been putting off making your all amirillo version of the golden stuff, till this weekend amid the pouring rain, discovered I had all I needed. Brew day went perfectly on saturday and filled the fermenter with 25 litres of lovely 1046 wort. Pitched at 17.5 with US05 and thought nothing more...

Have fermented with this yeast at 12, 14,16, & 18- less clove at the low end but never got the banana. Am located in central coast nsw. My local shop will get me anything I want, But I tend to look at grain I have , hops I have and leave yeast to the last minute. Usually coz if its raining on...

Spot on carniebrew. Sounds like FWK with decent dry yeast.--- Coopers yeast needs to be recultured- not what comes with the kit.

Can get Chimay & La Chouffe at the local bottlo. Might split a batch with both yeasts and try.

EXACTLY( I'd be concered about flat beer from the effects of the fat) Love a good smoked ale

Don't know if any one has been reculturing wheat beer yeasts, so thought I'd throw it out there. I'm pretty keen to throw down a decent WB, but my only easily available yeasts are WB06 ( I find this over cloved) and Brewcraft wheat beer yeast ( which I've never used). I have successfully grown a...

Have used it many times with diff styles. Dont mind a porter with EKG fermented at 16. Usually use it for pale ales though. Sometimes with POR(18c) and when I do use other hops late I drop temp to 16c at pitching.

Just thought I'd throw this out there. My mash tun (75l marine esky) is way bigger than my fermenter frige can handle. just wondered if anyone has attempted to store wort before and does it lose the aroma/ flavour of the hops used. I'm only asking as I just see so much wasted space in the mash...

No brand names on the bag. Just says "Halletau Aroma 9.0%AA" NZ. I guess its from NZ. Bought it Awhile ago. Havnt used any as yet so cant comment.

Hi all. been playing with ales for a while now and decided to have a crack at a pilsner. Only prob is I wont be able to get to my HBS for a while and want to use up some of what I've got. I do have another HBS close by that only does kit and extract but does have a fair assortment of yeast...

I always got the impression of EKG hops in this not por. Correct me if Im wrong as Ive never looked into it- Just 1st impression. Great beer though.

Had an urge to put a brew down 2day as I had a recultured CPA yeast ready to go. LHBS was closed so went through my kit and decided on a BIAB using 5kg JW pilsner, 400g JW pale crystal(vienna),200g med crystal, 300g malted wheat. Mashed at 66c for 90mins, in 33litres. No sparge. Ended up with...

Ive got all the grain to try this. My halletau is in pellet but the bsaaz(motueka) is in flower form. How does that change the amounts? Halletau(9.0%) Bsaaz(8.2%). If I do this it will be a 26l batch, so pretty much 1/2 your db recipe grain bill. What about using a re-cultured Coopers Pale Ale...

Ended up using the wb06. did a 50/50 wheat and pils bill with 40g hall @60 and 20g hall@ 10. Looking foward to trying it . Am going to do this twice more with some of the other yeasts mentioned and see how they differ. Thanks for the input.

Sounds like a plan Manticle. Ive got it so might as well use it. My lhbs has very little stock but is happy to get whatever I ask for. The wheat beer was this weekends thing-Think I'm the only local doing ag.-Extract and FWK seems the go here.If I buy bulk its reasonable. Who makes 3068?
