    Flavour issue Pacific Ale clone

    Hi wolfeyes, I used the Pacific Ale clone from Snow a while back and had the same problem. Mine was a all grain and I was sure I did everything right. I was extremely disappointed with the tannins flavor. I went ahead and bottled it and waited 2 weeks to conditioning and carbonation. Apart from...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    This beer is growing on me! It taste so good that I'm thinking in repeating the mistake :cool:. It's hoppy and it's malty at the same time. And the head is the best I've made. If only I could get another 1% on the ABV it would be a perfect session brown ALE. Do you think I could get that by...

    Hey Lionman have you tried this recipe before? How does it taste like? Cheers

    Mash on a higher temperature

    thanks mate. Are you trying to confuse me asking me to brew another batch using only a specialty malt!? Isn't Munich a specialty malt used to get a specific malt character, a bit of colour and mouthful? The recipe looks tempting though. I like a tropical fruity aroma and taste beer. It looks...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Ok folks... after my embarrassing rooky mistake - actually a couple of them - first mashing at 78° and secondly using amber malt as base malt I finally tasted it after one week conditioning. I could wait no longer! Surprisingly it doesn't taste that bad. It actually tastes alright to be honest...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    thanks Rocker. A Wonder how it'll taste like. On the initial taste it was very smoky and caramel like flavour.

    10 minute IPAs are good for school night brewing

    Awesome thread everyone! Kudos to GrumpyPaul. I'm in the same boat. 2 small kids not a lot of time... I'll definitely try the 30/30 in my next brew. Probably a Pale Ale. Anyone tried this modern revolutionising approach using a Grainfather? Should I reduce the amount of sparging water since...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Nice one technobabble66! Thanks for the tip on the malt. For the next iteration should I have some pale malt instead of 80% amber malt? What do you sugest for a Amber Ale with a nice thick head?

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Spot on Pallyjim! The FG was 1.028 which left me with a ABV of 2.3%. a very light beer. I also tasted it and it tasted good! surprise surprise! I'm looking forward to open one next week to taste the final product. A 2.3% beer might be the perfect excuse to my wife. Now I can drink 2 beers Mon to...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Agree evoo4u. I'll persist. it's been fermenting for the last 3.5 days and the first 2 days were very active. It's slowed down now but it looks like there were enough food for the little guys to break the sugar in there. even the smell from the air locker is good. if it turns out better than a...

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Thanks Quokka42. The OG was encouraging. It was 1046 instead of 1050. It's an amber Ale with most of the malt being amber malt. A bit of wheat malt and crystal. 5.5kg of malts altogether.

    Mash on a higher temperature

    Danscraftbeer this is encouraging. Thanks for that. I wouldn't mind a creamy beer with a nice head retention. Is that what you're talking about?

    Hi Bribie G I never used Dex before. What will be the benefit of adding it?

    Mash on a higher temperature

    30-40 minutes on good temps for sure. But a solid 50 minutes above 75 for sure.

    Mash on a higher temperature

    It's the first time I make a big mistake like this. Is it worth it going all the way to see or don't even bother?

    Mash on a higher temperature

    I'm brewing in a Grainfather. I've just finished sparging going to boiling now.
