I made this beer a couple of days ago with an active 1.5Lt starter of WYeast 2565, as 2575 was not available at CB. The wort was about 15C and the starter close to 17C when I pitched it. After about 24 hours with my fridge set at 17C, the yeast took off and the wort temp increased to close to...

Hi Dr. S With your dark mild you mentioned, do you use Challenger hops by themselves, or in combination with other English hops? What are your hopping rates/times? Cheers Justin

Thanks heaps Tony. Will give FWH (10IBU) & a 45 min (30IBU) addition a try and let you know the results.

Tony Am planning this brew soon. Just wondering what your thoughts would be about FWH this beer. I remember reading in a topic about Aussie Pale Ale, you talking about FWH some of the Pride of Ringwood hops, then also adding a 60 min addition. Would this work with this stout in a simlar same...

I apologise if this has already been answered, but way back towards the start of this thread, WYeast 1332 Northwest Ale was brought up - in regards to increasing the maltiness of this beer. Was wondering if anyone ever made DrSmurto's Golden Ale with WYeast 1332 or any other WYeast? If so, what...

Sorry to bring up an old thread & I'm sure you've already found your answer, but these 2 grains are the grains used in Doc's Yardglass Session Light (90% M.O. & 10 % Dark Wheat). I recently made this for the first time & absolutely love it. Combination of grains & hops are lovely. Great body &...

Just going back to the hastles of chilling your wort. Not sure of your budget and I would guess you want a method that's as quick and convenient as possible. Have you looked at plate chillers. I recently bought Beerbelly's 30 plate chiller for $119.95. Not to sound like an expert, but on the 2...

I've now had 2 attempts at this beer. The first was very similar to your Db recipe but I added 1.5% melanoidin malt. My IBU's were slightly down. I found almost no aroma (even with late hops additions) but plenty of awesome flavour. Little hazy when poured but who cares. My efficiency was 70%...

Thanks Wes & Stuster for your expertise in this thread. I thought I'd tell you how my latest Hoegaarden (brewed today) went because it worked like a treat, better than I expected. Wes, I did source the Kialla brand of raw wheat. Unfortunately I could not purchase the 5 kg calico bag due to lack...

I am a fairly new AG brewer who loves Belgium Wits. I today put my first AG Wit on using 49% Pils, 44% raw wheat, 5% rolled oats & 2% acidulated malt. In this wit I also soaked the raw wheat & oats in 63 degree water for 5 minutes before I added the Pils & acid malt with the rest of the water...
