Hi all, I began all grain brewing last Christmas, and have found 1 major problem and 1 minor problem that I think that I need to solve.
The minor problem is that I am confused by the amount of malted grains from various malteries from around the world.(particularly the specialty grains) I would like to know if anyone knows of a book which, details the products of the worlds major malsters and suggest the best possible substitutes for their competitors product with their own.
The major broblem that I have encounted is that of excessive brewing temperatures during this past summer. (a few brews were fermented at high 20's to 30+ c and were frown out because of an excessively 'clove' like flavor. I would like to build a 'Coolroom' under my house and would like to know if anyone knows of a place to buy cheap coldroom panels in the Ipswich/Brisbane area, or advise me of other materials that I could use to build this room. I already know about the refrigerators/freezer conversions but would prefer to build a room as i could also lager my kegs there.
Any constuctive advice is appreciated. thanks.
