This brewing method sounds interesting and I want to give it a go. I'm thinking of a Columbus IPA with about 150g at 10 minutes, which shold give me about 60 IBU's. The question; do I still boil for an hour, or do you boil for less? Those that do extract brews often boil less than an hour. What...

I've got a recipe that is calling for 55L crystal malt. I've go some Joe White light and dark Crystal. Which do I use? It's for a pommy ESB.

I don't know what is happening here, but my wheat beers will not hold a head. They pour from the tap with a nice head, but within a minute or two, nothing. Also no tide marks left on the glass. A lot of people add wheat to their beer to aid head retention. It doesn't seem to help my wheaties...

Iv'e just been asked to make a keg of Bluetongue Lager beer for a friend's 40th. Iv'e done the search thingy and all I could see is a K&K recipe. Has anyone done a AG version or have any suggestions? I'm thinking for a 23 L batch, 4.5kg pilsener, 200g carapils, Hersbrucker 30g 60 mns, 20g 20...

I just got back from a dive holiday in Yap (Micronesia). Upon walking into the door of the resort, look what I found. My dive buddies were a little miffed when my first question was not "Where are we diving?" but "When are you brewing next?" Anyhow, the brewmaster, Freddie, kindly allowed me...

SWMBO likes Sarsparilla and has been at me to make one. I did a bit of research for an alcoholic recipe without much luck. I purchase some Root Beer concentrate from one of our sponsors as part of the planning, and as I didn't come up with an alcoholic recipe, the project didn't happen. Anyhoo...

I was given some Triticale from a farmer mate who want to see if I could do anything with it in a beer. I searched this site, and was a bit put back by some of the feedback from those that had used it before. Somewhat chasened, I proceeded and made a beer based losely on Jamil's American...

My son, who currently resides in the UK, sent me a belated Fathers Day gift which arrived yesterday. Graham Wheeler's British Real Ale (3rd edition). Woo hoo. It has over 100 current and recently defunct British Ale recipes. What a blessing to have kids so in tune with your passion. I can't wait...

I am having problems draining my boiler due to (what I assume is) cold break. Some background: I do AG. Use a 50L pot with no tap. I transfer to the fermenter using a racking cane. I boil for an hour, and add a teaspoon of Koppafloc at the last 15 minutes. I chill useing an imersion chiller...

I have been following the thread on the good Dr's TTL and decided to have a go at this one. The problem is, I am having difficulty sourcing the 1469 yeast that appears essential for this beer. I believe it is no longer in production. So, the questions are: Where can I get some? Does anyone...

I've been using a bit of raw wheat in my brews and find it throws a bit of haze. Does malted wheat to this to the same or lesser extent?

I'm sure this has been done before, but I couldn't find anything with the search function. Has anyone used (unmalted) Tritacale as a base or specialty grain in a AG? If so, what flavour did it impart? I've just had some given to me and wondered what to do with it.

Does anyone want 450g of Newport hops 11%A. I got these with a mixed purchase and will not use them. They are in an unopened bag and have been kept frozen. If you want them, send me a self addressed, pre stamped postpack and I will sent them to you. Regards

I reciently purchased a couple of 1kg bags of hops on spec, that I didn't know much about.Smaragt and Saphire. I thought what the heck, one is a noble hop, I can't go too far wrong. As pilsner is my style of choice, I knocked up a pilsner style brew useing predominently pilsner malt and a bit of...

Can anyone tell me where I can get a round esky/mash tun?

I hope you can help. I'm fairly new to AG with only 5 brews under my belt. I seem to have trouble getting my AG's to ferment out (never had a problem with kits). My past batches (all pilsner/lagers) stopped at around FG 1020. The current batch I have on the go has stopped at FG 1030. I...

I'm sure this must have been covered before, but does anyone have an all grain recipe for a Tooheys Old style clone? If you had to have a guess, what grains/hops/yeast would you use?
