I brewed this last Saturday Oct 18. I went with some of the previous recommendations and upped the smoked malt to 7# and added 1# of flaked wheat. Everything else I kept the same as BM's recipe.
Got 5.5 gallons at 1.062 and the primary appears to be done already although I need to check the...
I ended up doing this as a BIAB, following the OP's recipe except used 1# lactose, 10 oz of flaked oats, and 0.8 oz of magnum. I added this to a us-05 yeast cake from an amber and fermented under pressure at 10 psi for 5 days - FG hit 1.020 - before cold crashing for 3 days. Intend to transfer...
Bleme,
I plan on brewing this tmrw as a BIAB also. I've got a yeast cake of US-05 itching to start chewing on this goodness. :ban:
Do you mind posting addl details on your process/numbers along with any deviation from the OP's recipe?
Do you whirlpool or use any other trub management...
+1 on mredge response.
My top 3 reasons are:
1. not tying up my fermenter w/ the shortened dip tube
2. Disturbing trub/yeast every time the keg gets disturbed
3. Chance of off flavors from autolysis/trub/yeast with prolonged storage
I second that. Great quality super sturdy bags. My brews have also improved because my previous bag allowed some husk material into the kettle and led to some astringency. Which is now gone. Two thumbs up for wilserbrewer.

I'll take a stab at your questions Octavius.
The answer is yes to all your questions and as for cold crashing temp I believe you go as close to freezing or at least go below your serving temp for a few 3-5 days.
One comment as to your pressure during fermentation one method is to ramp the...
This recipe is for a 4G batch (3.5G into fermenter).
I considered making Orfy's mild mannered ale but thought after reading Designing Great Beers I would start with and improve my own recipe it's partly for that reason why I'm only making a 4/3.5G batch.
My next brew will be an English Mild Ale. This will be my first attempt at creating my own recipe based on my reading of the book Designing Great Beers. I'm looking for some feedback before I take the leap.
Thanks. :mug:

I like some of the previous comments had stopped ordering from BMW in the spring when it took weeks to get an order delivered. After reading the recent posts I decided to give them another chance. I ordered Tuesday night, received confirmation email then Wednesday mid morning I received another...
I'm planning on brewing my 1st lager (I've got 8 brews under my belt and 2 of those we're with a spunding valve). My question, could someone post their fermentation and lagering schedule ie days, temperature, pressure. I know this has been posted/discussed before but I can't seem to find it. Thanks
