G'day blokes, Any suggestions where I could grab some plans for a simple all grain brewery setup? My mate is keen to get one going, hes an engineer so he can sling most things together. 50-100L setup should suffice. Cheers fellas. Craggy.

G'day fellas, been a while, anyways been mulling a stout/porter/milk stout around the old noggin for a while. Just wondering what would be a sweeter stout recipe from a kit and bits and what would be a good hop choice? Cheers. :icon_cheers:

Who would have thunk it that a lack of hops in beer would be such a hot topic! The church of beer does not smile towards heretics!!

Okay cheers fellas, what about the beermakers lager?

Okay here goes: Beermakers old 1.7kg (assuming POR is its bittering hops) Black Rock Amber malt 1.5KG 200g crystal cara-malt 200g choc cara-malt maybe a little cascade for finishing (25g or so?) US-05 23L volume Anyone think this sounds alright?

I have been seeing some Joe White malts on offer here and there, im wondering if they are any good (assuming they are all australian barley), i guess you couldnt make truly authentic european styles etc? Any thoughts?

G'day, just wondering what the actual definition of a "partial" was, is it where about 50% of the fermentable sugars are from a mash? Also if a kit is used then how does one add more bittering hops or are none required? I just figured if your that close to AG might as well just make the leap...

Thanks for the heads up, Otherwise i would have had a dunkel alcopop-weizen, doesnt sound too appealing to me.

If i was to do a mash instead of a steep would that help at all?

G'day again, fashionably late as usual, I was going to do a bit of a blend of dry wheat/light dry barley malt and use the grain mostly for colour and a little body/flavour. The recipe would be something like... 1kg LD Wheat ext 500G LD Barley ext 2kg caramel wheat 25g (ish german noble hops)...

Okay guys im going to give a partial mash/steep a go, Making a dunkel weizen style beer and im using 2kg of caramal wheat grain (the steeping kind). Currently i have a 20L stock pot to use as a mash tun but ill need a way to filter out all the husks. Any ideas on whats the easiest way to go...

Thanks for the info, i got to go on this tour, sounds like an informative night. okay so POR and cascade sounds good to me, cheers.

How about: 1.5kg muntons amber malt can 500g crystal malt muntons blonde 1.5kg 25g cascade for finishing something like that perhaps? i guess i could always do the bittering myself, also i think there might be some sort of english hops in the brew as well so maybe fuggles and goldings?

Any ideas on this brew from a k/e perspective? its a quite tasty drop wouldnt mind giving it a bash.

Another dumb question im sure, but if i have about 500g of grain to be steeped, what sort of weight of fermentable sugars can i expect from it? as in 500g grain = ?g of malt extract. Im guessing the husks of the grain and the overall process would mean some loss but im just wondering how much...

Hmm i have never been inspired to buy a fwk just because of the freight (im never usually in the right place at the right time) if these were any good id give it a go.

thanks for the info, might have to grab a copy sounds like the bible of brewing :beer:

G'day again ya'll, bit of a newbie question here but whats the difference, i mean with steeping you let it sit in hot water to release the fermentable sugars and with mashing its essentially the same but for longer, so what changes are actually taking place and how is grain pre mashed?

Any thoughts? bump bump

Yikes, maybe low carb beers need not exist. I think we should replace them with just a little less of the "good stuff".
