How do I upload a brewmate file to this thread?

Hey Wolfman, there's an export option in the Brewmate file menu that will export it to a *.txt doc, you can just dump that straight into your post.

Cheers Phantom!

Just need a substitue for cascade...

 

[sponge]

Not sure if you've already brewed this one fish, but I'd be tempted to bring back the bitterness a little bit.

I made something similar (different hops/grain, but roughly same BU:GU) and although it was nice, it was just too bitter.

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy a bitter beer, but it needs to have the malt backbone to support it.

What other hops do you have on hand? You could always use more columbus in place of cascade, or centennial if you've got any laying around? Most american hops are, although very different in flavour, able to be substituted to an extent.

Either way, I'm sure itll end up delicious.

Just my 2 bobs worth

i dont have much colombus but ihave

williamette
target
citra
glacier
por
fuggles

pretty sure there is some others in there too

 

[sponge]

Citra is always delicious and fruity, and willamette always gives a nice english touch with a little more american c-hop to it. Really depends what you're looking at. The others I'd be a little less inclined to use though.

I've never used glacier, although from doing a little reading up on it, could also work in the brew.

Have a bit of a pick and see how it turns out. Worst that happens is that its not as good as you planned and learn for next time, or youll uncover a glorious hop mix.

Win-win really :beerbang:

Wow, i hear peat smoked malt is full on. I hope you did your research on percentages etc. Good luck with it.

I have never gone beyond 20% rauch malt for that hint of smoke (and possibly cause i am a girlie man and like bacon on a plate not in 20L of beer). Never used peat.

I did a 100% Wey Smoked Ale once. Haven't again. If you added some veges and pearl barley it'd make a really nice soup.
