Hi fellow brewers

I'm not a big poster, but definitely a big reader, so thanks to all the knowledgeable people on here. You have taught me and confused me heaps. :icon_cheers:

I'm in the process of putting a recipe together making use of Coles end of line extract kits, picked up a few for $6.89. Plus my flavour of the month yeast Wyeast 3944. I have done something similar before so partly this is based on previous tastes.

This a BIAB method.


Does the wheat malt have the a ability to convert the rolled oats given the mash profile?

Can I reduce the cooking time of the ginger, without fear of nasties from the skin and or add fresh ginger juice at yeast pitching time, to get a fresher ginger zing?

Any and all comments are welcome. (i'm not at all sensitve)

:beer:
