I just brewed this in my GrainFather and the foam, OMG even during mash it was like "The Blob" coming up the sides
Looks amazing currently though! It's boiling away :P
Not using the Honey, and using english hops (Fuggles) and english yeast.
Gonna bottle this once it's finished in a few weeks...
So I'm finally taking the plunge and doing my first Brett beer.
I have opted for using WLP645 - https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-bank/wlp645-brettanomyces-claussenii
I will be doing it as a 100% Brett only ferment from start to finish.
The base beer is a mix of MO/Crystal/Flaked Oats will be...
I had a porter I brewed up that was over a year out of date and that was perfectly fine. Just used new yeast. Completed that one last week [emoji6]
Kits been kept in a cool garage. Malt packs not expanded.
The pale ale kit is either a year or less out of date.
Obviously the hops and yeast will...
So I was sorting out the garage the other week and stumbled across some beer kits I had laying around before I moved over to all grain and a Grainfather.
They have expired well over a year ago. So the yeast will be shot to hell.
Anyway I was thinking of doing an experiment.
The kit I have is...
Hi,
So my LHBC have set us a brewing task to brew a confectionery based beer.
I really want to do a Chocolate Porter and then flavour it after its done. Possibly hazelnut.
This is only a short batch brew. It's a gallon and a half. Sorry about the KG weights. I'm from the UK.
Will something...
Ah cool thanks.
Yer sorry about the measurements I'm from across the pond. I only have a small brewing setup.
5 gallon max total volume stovetop stockpot. Which is why I do short batch brewing or odd volumes. Which I then bottle.
I will do as they say. Just brew it and see
I'm also planning...
I'm planning on brewing an Oatmeal Imperial Stout. As i want something full body, but smooth and rich With the intention of bottle conditioning for a long time.
E.G Some stashed away for 6 months and others for 2 years
Small Batch Beer - 10 Liters
Full body Brew In a bag style
I'm open to...
I finally worked out what happened.
I got 90% or more efficiency out of BIAB
Compared to 80%ish with normal methods.
Hopefully get some good mouthfeel out of this.
Thanks for the information.
I just put this brew on today.
Something happened that confused me though, got a much higher ABV than I was expecting. From the ingredients.
I got 1.051. When it should have been around 1.040
Got 12l of beer on the brew. Possibly after trub will get 11 or at...
These will be fresh cherries and the weight will be without the stones.
Im told these are sweet and don't have much tartness. I will give them a taste before I purchase.
Im after a bit of a cherry hit.
If I have to double the fruit content I don't mind.
If I need to change the...
So I'm getting into All Grain Brewing and want to do a small batch. My local shop LIDL has a very good offer on some cherries currently. Really nice and sweet.
Can someone sanity check my first compiled recipe? I'm after a nice easy drinking cherry beer. Ideas, Corrections and that's insane...
When I do wine I sometimes have more liquid than will fit into a demijohn. Mostly due to miscalculation of water displacement by fruit pulp etc. As I use a big barrel to brew it all up in as I like to get the most liquid into my demijohns.
Sometimes a litre or there about of good liquid is...
