18c basically. May start lower then climb up to maybe 21c at the end. Then pressure transferred to serving keg and can be stored unrefrigerated.
Just like bottling really, self carbonated and kept for longer can get exceptionally good results. I wish I had a cellar ha...
and Hot Beef Jerky is a frenzy compliment, combination

[Hermies]

Well I was going to put down two brews on tuesday and ended up making the American Wheatie . My 3V HERMS systems PID decided to **** itself I turned the PID on and it began to flash 345.68 degrees on the PV so I couldn't use it . I borrowed the clubs grainfather as well for the day so I ended up brewing on it . Very impressed with it except for the boil . I ended up over sparging on volume and missed my SG by 2pts with a volume of 24lt into the fermenter .

What's the bicarbonate for TB?

 

[technobabble66]

According to the Bru'n Water spreadsheet, the recipe & salts i intended would hit pH5.3.
While i've targeted 5.3 previously, i'm generally trying to hit pH5.4 in my last several brews, to try to get a nice balance between conversion efficiency and smoother on the darker grains - most of these beers have been amber to darker. Even though this isn't a dark or roasty beer per se, the inclusion of biscuit & melanoiden, plus possibly the really high % of Munich2, made me think perhaps best to stick to pH5.4 for this one.
I was actually a bit surprised the recipe was initially going to hit 5.3, TBH.
So to bump it back up to 5.4, i needed 0.3-0.4g Baking Soda. I went slightly low to this just to be cautious (it seems wrong adding alkalising agent to the mash!), so added 0.2g instead.

What is cookie malt?

 

[DU99]

cookie malt.....

MALT CHARACTER
Viking Pale Cookie Malt is produced by roasting high quality pilsner malt. The amylolytic activity of Cookie Malt is negligible. As its name stands Pale Cookie Malt contributes very mild and pleasant toasted cookie flavor and aromas with maltiness in it. Sweetness in this malt is rather low.

APPLICATIONS
Viking Pale Cookie Malt can be included in grist for any beer where nice golden color and typical mild toasted flavors are favored. Already with rather low dosage portions the effect on flavor can be noted. Typical dosage rate of Pale Cookie Malt is normally under 25%.
