Welcome back, Dave!

No worries, let me know how it turns out. This one holds up to age pretty well also, considering the OG. I've brewed this a couple of times and the batch I'm pouring now has about 9 months of age on it. It's smoother, and more refined than when it's young. The keg is going to kick any day now :(

A pretty solid, all UK malt English Porter recipe for anyone looking for a balanced, easy drinking ale. The touch of Bairds black malt adds a hint of roast that intensifies the chocolate character and brings it towards coffee, but not enough to distract from the toffee flavour provided by the...

Using the invert sugar is more of a traditional recipe exploration for me. Technically speaking, a gravity point is a gravity point, but there's something fulfilling about using authentic ingredients, and judging by the taste of the finished syrup (roughly 35 SRM), it's definitely going to...

There is...Jocky Club!

So, treat it the same as sucrose? Yes, I believe extract yield is what I’m after. I’m this article it states that: 1 pound added to enough water to equal 1 gallon will give the gravity number I’m looking for.

Yeah, bulk is the best way to do it if you're in a rural area. Stock up on base and heavily used specialty malts like crystal etc, then the shipping on the really small quantities won't be as steep. Are there any craft breweries or clubs around the Corner Brook or Deer Lake area? It may be a...

I've gotten seriously obsessed with English Ales lately and recently purchased Ron Pattinson's book "The Home Brewer's Guide To Vintage Beer". I've made a batch of No.2 invert sugar, and was curious to know if anyone's got a calculation / procedure for determining the potential yield of a...

Welcome to HBT! Where's ya from m'son? ;) I'm originally from Springdale. As for ingredients and supplies; it you haven't already, you may want to consider looking into Ontario Beer Kegs (www.ontariobeerkegs.com). 99% of what you'll need or want for the hobby can be found there, and...

Oops, I forgot to note the target pH in the above recipe. Used lactic acid to adjust the mash pH to 5.35. Thanks for pointing that out xpops.

This recipe started from a Blind Pig clone, but as I'm a meddler in Beersmith, it quickly veered off course and became something else... Mash 15 Minutes @ 65C (149F), 40 Minutes @ 67C (153F), 10 Minutes @ 76C (169F) 2.75 Kg - 2 Row 2.50 Kg - German Pilsner 300 g - Carastan 150 g - Carafoam 80...

The ITC-310T would be a great addition!

I'm a little late to this thread, but thought it may be helpful to anyone using Lye for deep cleaning... FWIW, I asked my friend (a chemist), who recommended a first wash with 1.5% and increasing the strength if necessary. 1.5% Solution : 1g NaOH in 65ml Water 2.0% Solution : 1g NaOH in...
