1st taste after 2 months: bad. I mean, the beer is good itself, but it is too far from Pannepot. Wrong colour: too trasparent Wrong texture: not enaugh mouth consistency Wrong palate: too sickening I definitely abused of sparging and I did not boiled enaugh: I should have boiled for 100'...

I have to taste it! I didn't know about that brewery, but it's really very close to where I leave. Thanks for advice! Cheers

Uh! I knew that, that town was founded by people coming from Asti. We've a lot of vineyards nere here as well, all around we can say... Basically growing Barbera and Moscato. You're from Sonoma valley, isn't it? I' should have been there last year for a cousin of mine wedding (they're from...

I'd like to grow my own hops. It's not so easy in Italy to find the roots, most of website selling hops roots are German, and unfortunately written in German, a language very unknown for me. Last autumn I went into the woods to pick wild hops cones, and after a very hard and long harvest I've...

I'll try to involve guys from an Italian hb forum I go round with. Question: watching your pics it seems that you grow hops. How is your experience about that?

Thanks. I took a look to your website, nice philosopy.

Hi all, Giorgio writing from Asti, Italy. Brewing in AG with herms system. Cheers giorgione

Brewed yesterday, with a problem probably due to the sparging rate. I had 1080 as OG pre boil and 1095 as OG. Both worth were 10 pts below what I expected, I think I made too much sparge.

I simply love this thread. Due to time zone, I'll have to wake up very early tomorrow in order to read what's new about the Pannepot. Then brew. Tall Yotie, thanks for your post, I'll go with choccolate. A curiosity: here I find Pannepot without problems, but the lable is completely dumb...

I agree with you about the flaked maize reflections. But Pannepot has a bland sweetish recall, in my opinion brought by the flaked maize. But I agree with you as well about the use of oats, for a more velvety contribution. Probably it is not included in the original recipe, oats are not so...

Herms system inspired

Sage brings me to aromas that I don't perceive in the Pannepot

Thanks for advices. I had a Pannepot last night, in order to bring recent memories into the clone. I still don't feel so much ruling toasted tastes in the original, that's why I'm so hesitant to employ chocolate malt.

Hi there from Italy, I'd like to brew a Pannepot clone and I have some questions: I have a fresh wyeast 1762 (Belgian Abbey II), will it work instead of T-58? Can I replace choccolate malt with black malt or roasted barley? Cheers Giorgio
