    Saison season is here. What's your best recipe?

    I have made 2 saisons. I honestly dont like them. Probabloy my least favoured beer. Just do not enjoy all those esters that the yeast put off. Thats all I have to say about that.

    Anyone had the snip?

    Horns Across the Nation

    I am pretty active in the hardcore metalcore scene. Go to as many shows as I can when the mrs will let me. I prefer Australian bands (I personally think the Australian hardcore scene is the best in the world) So far this year I have seen - Confession, Northlane, In hearts Wake, Hands like...

    Ok today I brewed the Tower 10 IPA which got posted in this forum the other day. My mash volume was 27L with a total of 6.4kg grain bill. This was the absolute limit of the robobrew, the mash was lapping at the very top. I mashed for 75min @ 66 and 15min @75 After the mash there was 21L of...

    Any all-grain recipes for: Karl Strauss Tower 10 IPA?

    I had hop hog before the tower 10, that could have effected the way I tasted it. But yes it was more bitter but I found the hop flavour very similar

    OK, well I get my LHBS to do the crush for me so I am not too sure how fine they do it. I do notice that there is some flour in the crush but it doesnt seem like too much. I might ask them next time to see if they can do it slightly coarser. What exactly should I ask them? What size crush...

    lol no need for apologising, I am taking everything on board trust me. I know you are quite experienced and are well known amongst home brewers and I reckon everyone has brewed at least one of your recipes. I am just a little frustrated at the robobrew system atm, I am kind of now wishing I...

    I assumed I had a mash ph issue because my water is very high in bicarbonates. Bru n water software supported this. As I have said, water chemistry has been my last resort because there isn't much more I can do. My process has been exactly the same as every YouTube video, manufacturers...

    Not sure. Added it just before I added the grain. Bru n Water estimated it at 5.8 without any salt or acid additions.

    Well i did 23L today could easily do 26-27L mash, that would only require a 5L sparge. I do plan on adding more salts and acids to my next brew, Bru n water did seem pretty accurate with where my mash ph would be at. Just wanted to test it out this time and not overshoot it.

    Yeah. This didn't begin as a robobrew thread though.

    Water to grain ratio in this system is a lot different to a 3v system due to the malt pipe. I run with 4L/kg which is probably way too much in a 3v set up, but because your grain is contained in a smaller malt pipe in the robobrew the mash thickness is still quite thick and would probably be...

    Recipe Critique

    For 5kg of grain, the general consensus is a 20L mash in. If the grain absorbs 5L of water then you will have about 15L of wort when you are ready to sparge, for a 19-20l (probably the upper limit of brew size with this seystem) brew you want a pre boil volume of around 26-27Litres so sparge...
