Going to take the plunge for one of these as well, looking for a ss fermenter and having the addition of pressure sounds like fun! Any troubles with headspace or spurting krausen?

I fall into the categories of 5 + years ebook reader, however I still very much prefer having written material - particularly any form of reference book. There is something about reading a paper copy and somehow subconsciously taking more material from it.......this is difficult to explain, but...

Excellent stuff ! That is what i'm after really - i'll have to plan in advanced for next years, for this year i'll put in for what I have available

Quick question on this - it'll be my first time entering a competition. Do you get any feed back on your beers (too much dactyl, too dark etc) - or just see an overall score for the beer (interested in some constructive criticism)?

Yes be careful with the dex addition.. I follow a rough 2:1 rule of thumb for mine but that is because I know my local LDME always finishes high (FG's around 1018) so I use the dex to "thin" it down and attenuate better.

I did something similar a few months ago, but kept all my hops to a 10 min addition: 2 kg LDME 1 kg Dextrose 0.3 kg Carapils 0.3 kg Caraaroma 40 g Citra @ 10 min 30 g Galaxy @ 10 min 25 g Citra Dry Hop 3 days 25 g Galaxy Dry Hop 3 days US-05 Tastes pretty good, if anything i'd go for more...

Thanks Manticle, For a 23 L brew it would be: 4.00 kg Pale Malt 0.50 kg Victory 0.25 kg Caraaroma 0.25 kg Chocolate Malt Yes I do want to avoid something that is going to be too powerful. Perhaps I should be dropping the Victory down to 250 g with the others and look at adding some brown malt.

Hi Guys, I am looking for some recipe help with a brown porter, perhaps more specifically the % of victory malt I should be looking at - I am aiming for nutty / biscuity flavours. ...A little bit of background, I now have a dozen or so extract brews under my belt, almost exclusively APA’s and...

Thanks for the advised BigD, i'll have a look for fresh malt extract - I am pretty sure my LHBS sells them, I was just unsure if they were all hopped too... i'll have a look to see if they sell unhopped and continue from there

Hi Guys, Thought I would introduce myself and say g’day! I have just put down my first brew in a number of years (five or six) – and the information in this forum has been extremely helpful. I had completed a number of all-grain brews years ago that were absolutely delicious. However due to a...
