Thanks all. I've got the fancy glasses but imo makes jack all difference. It's certainly not an age thing given my keg was a week old. I think a few are definitely on the right track re temp that u dry hop at. I've just always been reluctant to dry hop for more than 5 days to avoid...

Howdy All Just tapped a Pug IPA keg on the weekend that I kegged a week ago. However really disappointed with the amount of hop aroma coming through to the glass. I've had this the last few kegs and I was curious if anyone had any tips. At the time of kegging the aroma was fantastic and was...

That sir is the greatest link ever. Thank you Oh how I wish I had this 2 weeks ago before I waited and waited and pitched another yeast and added nutrient all thinking it had stalled!!

Great post guys. I was just about to ask this exact question when brewing with my refractometer for the first time. I bloody pitched another yeast and everything thinking it had stalled at a brix of 7!! Now I know!

Any chance someone could repost this recipe? I'm clicking on the link on the first post but it can't be found. Thanks!

Colour is black. Almost stout like. So the LDM wouldn't have done much for colour. Put it down yesterday and even chucked in 10g of centennial at 5mins. Will see how we go Thanks guys

Howdy all Bought this fwk Plan is to turn it into an American IPA. Going to do a 5 litre boil with 1kg of LDM. This is my hop schedule less the magnum as it's already in the FWK. Gives IBU of 54.9 which I'm happy with. Will also dry hop 30g Nelson and 20g centennial. Am I on the right...

did she try stafford? I saw 3 left just after New Years.

Been eyeing this off for a while. Will try today in Brisbane.

Thanks manticle. Read the article just didn't have time to put it into action. The swirling and upping to 20 did nothing in the last 24 hrs so will put ur article into action Cheers

Thanks for the responses guys. I have a temp control fridge so temp has been constant at 18. I have a hydrometer and all readings I have taken 2 sets of samples so anything stuck in the tap shouldn't have any effect. I've taken so many samples that my batch has gone from 21l to 19.5! Haha...

Howdy fellow brewers Got a fat yak clone that I've done several times but this time it's stuck at 1020. Recipe is coopers international IPA, 1.5kg liquid pale malt, 500g light dry malt and NS and cascade hops. Used 2 kit yeasts and yeast nutrient at 18. Done this many times og 1054 fg 1012...

If there is one thing I have learnt its that wheat beers rock with a liquid yeast. Best results I have had are smack pack 3068 and wlabs Hefeweizin ale yeast. If you can use a liquid yeast and brew to a constant 19 degrees you will get that awesome german wheat beer style taste. I would...

How could one describe the flavours from EKG? My favourite hop would be Amarillo and/or Cascade I did like Simcoe though as well which is quite different. Liking QLDKevs suggestion of Fuggles and EKG I have read they are good together

Would like to stay away from the fruity hops at this point. Been using a lot of them at late in particular Amarillo and Cascade. So much to the point where I've had a couple of pints and gone hmm bit to fruity for my liking! I didnt think I would ever say that!! EKG is looking like a goer...

Thanks BF but I shudder thinking of having to bottle those different batches. I'm a keg snob now haha Given how fast it gets drunk around my house I may just do that but a keg at a time! I recently used Tettnanger in a Wheat beer which I think might be close to Challenger I would have thought...

Jesus! haha Shows how good my pallet is I've used Simcoe before but never got that intensity of flavour. Was a good beer but can't have to many of them! haha

Howdy Just wanting to pick everyone's brains for what hop I should use in the below. Been using quite a lot of the fruity hops in my beers of late, particularly Amarillo, NS and Cascade. Looking to try something new. I've used the Coopers Blonde kit quite a bit when I want to experiment with...

In future if u want to add some Nelson Sauvin u will get close to fat yak I use the IPA as my base for a fat yak and add 1.5kg Pale Liquid Malt, 250g steep Caramalt and use almost equal additions of NS and Cascade, prob a touch more cascade then NS. One of my favourite base kits though

Thanks mate, much appreciated
