I too am guessing below 1.014. Actually I think it's pretty much done at closer to 1.013 today and starting to clear. Saaz will go in.

I'm doing the cheapest possible toucan atm and am wondering about hops too. It's one can of Homebrand lager and ale, with about 300g of sugar. I have some Saaz and was thinking I'd dry hop it but now I'm not sure it would work. And it might be a waste of hops too. Also OG was 1.044 and in two...

Well done for answering the question instead of giving him a lecture on how it's shit or a scam and going on to give him dietary advice. And you were well ahead of the times with your knowledge of keto. I know this is over a decade old but I was going through some of the low carb threads and...

So I mashed 375g of oats for an hour along with 1kg of BE3. Very porridgey btw. Put it in the FV along with the 1.7kg English bitter can. Pitched yeast at 26.5°C because it had taken 90 minutes to get to that point. OG was 1.042. Does that OG seem a bit low? Does to me.

Cheers mate

I wasn't hoping to get any more out of the oats, more trying to reclaim any of the be3 that might get stuck to the oats and bag.

Gotcha. Yes just kit and a bit but I have a grain bag and no strainer. I was just going to put the oats in the bag and tip the be3 into the pot. Then put the bag in a colander and sparge.

Thanks. I am going to use be3 as well as the oats, so 500g ldm, but I wondered if it needed to go in the mash. I just imagine it would make sparging a bit easier without it.

So does anyone know if rolled oats actually need to be mashed with other malt extract, or are they already gelatinised? And after the mash, can I just chuck it straight in the fermenter, or do I need to boil for a bit? I've never done anything more than kit and kilo.

I might just go without hops this time then. Would either of them go with a coopers Cerveza kit? I have a can of that and was thinking it could use something.

I just got an English bitter kit. I also got be3 because i don't want a mid-strength beer. I was thinking about mashing some rolled oats with it, which I will toast first. So I'm wondering if this is a good idea, and if so do I need to mash with the be3 in order to convert the starches in the...

Did you figure it out? I just ordered an Inkbird. I thought they were all plug and play.

Well I searched for 'liquid malt extract' and rather than start a new thread I thought it would be better to ask here.

OMG, I can't believe I won! I never win anything! This has made my day.

Yeah good points, guys. It seems like it would be a better idea to skip the boil.

Considering how prehopped cans can often be picked up cheap, would it be worth it to get these and then boil them to remove the hop flavours you don't like? Then add your own hops? I never see LME on special.

I'm in too. Was just looking for an inkbird too.

Could you just stand them upright in a tub and fill it with water? Obviously not too much though. It should achieve a more stable temp.

I'm surprised to read that as it actually says it's a sterilizer. We all know that's not possible but I did think it would be a decent sanitizer. I've just been rinsing with tap water. After all, that's what I'm using to make the beer. And when I start a brew I boil the kettle and pour it over...

I realize it's not a sanitizer but the sodium metabisulphite is. It's not no rinse but I just rinse thoroughly and wipe everything dry with a clean paper towel. I do that every few brews or if there's been some time between brews. I still have a fair bit left.
