I've used Voss in a couple of brews. Went really well in a golden ale hopped with Amarillo. Fermented at 30deg I think.

Thanks for that Bribie G. I'll add a little and see how they like it. I'll just leave the hops out.

Hi Brewers Just got a question for any gardeners on here. I know its probably a very random question. does any one know if its ok to put used boiled grains, including crystal malt and hops into worm farms?

Fermenting temp is best.

I'd stick to using them in something like a pale ale. I know from experience they go really well in a pale ale with wheat malt. and also IPA

Seriously, I wouldnt be using POR in it. POR is pretty much a bittering hop. and your already using a Draught tin thats already bittered with POR. Out of curiousity how do you do your on roasted pearl barley?

Heres the one I found. and ill make this one myself as is almost. I think ill cut the 0 minute hop additions down to maybe 5gm each, otherwise the aroma might be a little overpowering. JS Lashes Ale Coopers Pale Ale/OS draught can 1.5kg Tin Wheat Malt 200gm LDM 200gm crystal malt 5g Amarillo...

mauler, after reading your recipe above I think the one I have is similar. Except it has cascade instead of willamete. I'd leave out the BE1. Since its under 5% isnt it? and BE1 is crap anyway. and use maybe 200gm of crystal malt. and may 200gm of LDM and a little dex 100 or 200gm. Ill still...

I had this one on tap recently and love it. I found a recipe that looks like it will turn out really well. But i think I saved it on my work computer!! Ill get it and post it.

I've made a blow off tube and works well. A lot less mess, if any. I highly recommend it.

I've had the same issue with a brew I did not that long ago. It's proably the US-05 yeast, its known to stay in suspension for longer than normal.

Coopers website has a recipe with those 2 kits in it called SMOTY Ale. Uses EKG hops in it tho. Very nice, I'm drinking it at the moment. could turn out very nice using them hops. http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guil...w/ale/smoty-ale

Hi Steve Every one will have their own opinion. I turn the the heat off add the hops then remove the pot from the stove. or to a cold element. So straight away i guess. After flame out you would usually let them steep for about 30 min on average. When im straining them into the FV I use a...

I've done the pale ale kit recently, added some extra hops but I didnt use the kit yeast. It's turned out really good so far.

So brought one of these to try. It has a nice looking bottle... thats about it, so far. Should have know better than to waste my $3.20 on one of these. It comes from cub so no surprises there. has any one else tried this? what do you think?

I use a ceramic heat bulb, mainly used in incuabtors I think. Works extremely well. its needed her in vic.

No I dont have a stirrer, I dont know what it is. As I mentioned above I was starting yeast that I had washed from a couple of batches ago. It was US05. The starter was about 36 hours old I poored out most of the liquid and with the bit i had left I swirled it around to mix in the yeast that had...

There is so much people need to know and learn about about yeast that a dedicated yeast forum would be handy. Especially for people wanting to learn more like myself. It was hard to find the info I was after thats why I started this thread. By the way my yeast starter worked out fine, using...

Excellent, Thanks for the replies. The thing ive really been thinking about the most is pitching. Ive read some people pitch the whole starter, others pitch the settled yeast only. Im thinking ill just pitch the settled yeast.

Im going to do my first yeast starter in a couple of days. Ive been reading up on it a little and everyones got a a different way to do it. So i thought i would ask my trusty AHB members what is the best way to do it? Or post a link for a AHB thread on it. I cant seem to find one on this forum...
