Ray, Jazman .... thanks for the advice guys.

Hi Ray, How would this recipe go with an English ale yeast. I have Wyeast1028 and Wlp007. I would lean toward using the 007, but would appreciate your advice? Cheers JFF

I'll be very intersested to hear your views on this beer. I use both these yeast on a regular basis and think they are both great. That said .... the fact you are after a becks clone aside, if I were looking for "Crispness" I would be using the 800. For my money, the 830 produces a beer that...

Hi all, Well, I'm going to start off by saying .... I'll leave it to the experts here to classify the styles that these fall into. The reason that I'm posting is simply that this is the first time that I have felt confident enough in the end result to share it :-( Anyway, I put the following...

I'm far from an expert compared to most in here, but I have used WLP830 a bit (I'm a fan of it for sure) and I can admit to having downed a corona in the past. I would of thought that 830 would give a larger malt profile than what you want. Whitelabs do have a Mexican lager yeast which would...

Thanks kook. Glad to hear that .... looking forward to seeing how my first wheat turns out. JFF

Hi All, Well, I got the wheat beer down yesterday but this morning to my horror I discovered the brew had foamed through the air lock overnight and there was no sterilising agent in it at all this morning. I cleaned the lid up, got a new air lock ready and replaced the empty one. My question...

Hi All, Well, I got the WLP300 yeast starter happening and am looking forward to putting my first wheat down tomorrow. I decided on the following basic recipe. Any advice welcome as I really am flying a little blind here. I'm only doing a half mash ... boiler restrictions and all..... Wheat...

Hi all, Well, I did a large shop yesterday (for me at least) which included pils,wheat, munich, grains and a wlp300 yeast. I'm keen to try a few wheat beers and would welcome any advice / "starter" ag recipes. Now for those of you who aren't into wheat ... I also picked up a wlp007 english...

Andrew, Would be interested to know how this turned out for you. I picked up a heap of gear yesterday including half a bag of wheat and a couple of yeasts including wlp300. I'm really keen to try some wheat beers and any advice would be appreciated. Cheers JFF

Just after some feedback on this yeast. (WLP840) I have used it twice now and found it to produce quite a sweet beer. Foamrangers state that it gives a slight apple fruitiness. Slight in my opinion is an understatement. My mash temp may not have been spot on, but I would not have expected the...

Jovial MAH and everyone else .... You have helped heaps. I really do appreciate the help from the forum. The only down side is I think I am going to have to find time to put down two brews.... Not a bad situation if you are looking for a positive I guess ... just means more beer to drink. I...

Drinking will probably be 2 months away. 2 weeks in the primary At least 2 weeks in the fridge At least 4 weeks in the bottle (Though I do tend to taste earlier) Thanks for the replies, certainly makes me think.

Once again, apologises for not knowing styles that well. I am thinking about putting down a pils/larger on the weekend. I have a heap of pils and enough vienna for about 50% of hte base bill. Would appreciate any input. I have 3 yeasts to choose from, wlp 800,830, 840. Hops are not a major...

I do mini mashes almost exclusively at the moment and think it is a great way for relatively new all grainers to gain experience. Anyway, I tried a bottle that I discovered in the shed yesterday and thought it was a pretty good drop. I went back through my notes and had it marked as an LCPA...

All I can say is THANKS to everyone. I'm not sure whether it was the mention of the word .... 1. English(wo)man 2. Challange 3. Honour That extracted such a response ... but I am very grateful to everyone that has contributed. What will I do ... well MAH has convinced me that simplicity...

Well, to cut a long story short. An english lady has challenged me to make an english bitter believing she can't get a decent drop in oz. Now without going into the merits of the statement, I figured how could I decline such a challenge. Problem being, I've never made one. Therefore, any...

Thanks guys, Jazman, the truth is I couldn't tell you the difference in the different styles that you mentioned. Well, I could by going to the BJCP styles web site, but I certainly couldn't design one on request. Well, the thing that is obvious to me is that I need a book on designing beer...

Welcome some feedback on the following ..... Pils @ 44% Munich @ 44% Caramel Hell (28) @ 5% Wheat @ 7% OG 1.051 Mittelfruh to IBU 27 (with a little saaz at 5 min mark) Yeast Whitelabs German Lager WLP830 The SRM is around 9 which is a little darker than I wanted but I haven't used the...

Thanx to one and all. What I decided was pretty much down the path Jayse suggested. 90% Traditional Ale 10% Wheat Hallertau to 25-30 IBU 1056 Yeast My reasons. Well, as you can see, still pretty new AG brewer and I have done about 10 recipes from lagers to an oatmeal stout, mainly from...
