[yum beer]

yeah the only spider I'll go out of the way to kill is a funnel web. They scare me.

If a redback invades my space it dies, I was bitten when I was 10, not taking a chance on less luck 2nd time.
If they stay outta the way i'm cool, don't get funnel webs in the bush, just big friggin snakes in the brew area.

Nice one triache, I was pretty happy with my APA with an identical grain bill.

Congrats on the jump into AG - just remember that each persons system will be slightly different so if things go a little pear shaped on the day, just learn from what you have done and rectify it on your next brew. Took me a good 4 brew or so before I really knew the capacity/efficiency/etc of my system. In the end, as long as you make beer, you're onto a winner!

As for the recipe, I would either look at halving the crystal, or mashing more around the 66'C mark. Might end up quite sweet otherwise. Apart from that, good luck and make sure you report back on how it all goes.

Well then, maybe just leave the recipe as is and keep plenty of tasting notes so that you can adjust for next time, if need be.

Carry on...

I do like my beers malty/sweet with hop bitterness & flavour to balance it out.
The 5kg base 500g crystal was pretty good to my palate. Reminded me of SNPA.

I noticed that when looking at other peoples recipes they had lower mash temps.

For my first AG I suspect it won't be trully amazing mind blowing beer. As you said everyones system is a bit different so I will see how this one goes, if it turns out sweet (not good sweet) then I know to adjust for next time. All part of the learning experience!

Mate, as long as it doesn't turn out infected, it will be the best beer you've brewed.

Even if the flavour and aroma isn't as good as some of your kit/extract beers, having complete control (well, as much as possible) over the entire brewing process will make it taste that little bit better.

Knowing that it's only going to improve from here on will bump its' score up even further.




Knowing you will soon be far poorer because of the leap...? Priceless.

I still stand by my motto of "Homebrewing, the most expensive way to make cheap beer" :lol:
