Thanx for that. I think i am going to go for a 15 min boil. That should get me a lil bitterness and flavour/aroma right? And what does boiling it with some of the can do for the hops and brew? Cheers :party:

Could anyone out there help me with my hops confusion. I'm a KK brewer and i have read a number of ways to combine the hops to the brew: 1. The 60 minute boil 2. Chuck the hops bag in with the brew to ferment 3. Boil your hops and a little out of your can together Is there much difference in...

I picked the mulberries from the tree we have at our house. Boiled them up for 15mins, then strained the juice slightly pressing the excess out. I then froze the juice overnight to further kill any bugs. As for coulour the darkness of the stout pretty much takes up the mulberry colour. Cheers...

Cracked the first mulberry stout the other day. Very nice drop! Nice a smooth with a hint of mulberry afterwards. Will be making this one again!

I have noticed that there is 2 ways to calculate alcohol percentage. eg. OG 1075 FG 1018 Diff 57 Which is more accurate? 57/7.36 = 7.745% or 57 x 0.135 = 7.695% Or am i just being picky? Cheers :beer:

I am a big fan of Dunkelwisen and it was my second ever batch i put down 28/9/06. I bottled it on the 8/10/06 and tried it 2 weeks later. To my disappointment it was nothing like the Dunkel i was imagining. Its now been 4 weeks in the bottle and has improved a hell of alot! It is not an exact...

Thanks for all your help. Will now study the form and hopefully pick a winner! Cheers :beerbang:

Thanks for that Whistling Jack. Exactly what i was after. Cheers :beer:

Thanks for that. Does anyone else know a bit about hops?

Thanks for that. I'm still learning all this. I was reading Cascade was a fruity hop? What is Halletau, Saaz, Fuggles and Goldings? If you don't mind me askin. Cheers :beer:

G'day I have a question for the brains trust. Is there a site or periodic table that describes the various hop flavours and aromas. I have seached the net but i am unable to loacte anything. Your help would be much appriecated. Cheers :beer:

Nah, sounds nice. How do u make that? Is it a hoppy beer?

Yeah, I guess its all the rich flavours go together and the lighter ones do the same. I have a mulberry tree out the back which i picked the berries from lat week and made a litre of juice to add to the stout. Hope it all works well. Going out on a limb on this one. :beerbang:

Thanks for all your help! I think i'll be getting a plunger tomorrow and going for it. Just a lil to start off with thinking 500ml and we'll see what happens. Thanks once again. Bear :beerbang:

Thanks for all your help. It's all taken on board. Brewing can be quite complicated when you really get into it! I am looking forward to learning as much as possible from all the experience here. Cheers :beerbang:

So it's not like corn syrup or anything?

G'day I have just purchased a Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 and i was wondering what Maltodextrin is and what does it do? Still learning all about this science. Will it work well with the stout i am about to brew? Cheers Bear :beer:
