  1028 has fine flavour but is overcarbing in bottles after 2 months, didn't expect such
  behaviour. 1318 was nice for milds and browns, but finish too sweet for bitters to my taste.My
  current fav is 133...

• Posted in thread: Vienna as base for triple/belgian ale? on 07-04-2012 at 06:24 PM
  I got good result with vienna as a base malt in dubbel (+ some sugar and pinch of Special B).
  Proven by 3rd place in regional competition. :)

• Posted in thread: doppelbock recipe? on 06-27-2012 at 11:19 AM
  Recipe is not really that big a deal. I'd be inclined to start with just Munich malt, 20-some
  IBU of whatever noble hops are on hand, and my favorite lager yeast. If you need more
  obfuscation/handhold...

  Brewed this one with German Northern Brewer hops instead of Northdown but i think it would be
  better to swap Northdown with Fuggle - now it's 3 wks in bottles, bitterness started to mellow
  but it's st...

  I brewed few beers inspired by recipes from this book. In most cases i replaced plain sucrose
  with light invert sugar, and sometimes adjusted hopping to what i had in my inventory (swap
  Fuggle with Ch...

  Could this be Hallertauer Taurus?

  Option 1. is more probable. Possible explanation for lighter beers in US is that their mash
  equipment is not suited for decoction mashing, which requires pumping mash from tun to tun, and
  at least one...

  Standard Carafa is normal roasted malt, I and II are choc, III is black. Only "Special" is
  different in being de-husked.

  "Red" is just a shade of "brown". ;)I'd add some roasted barley, ~1.5oz perhaps?

• Posted in thread: "Session" IPA's - let's hear it! on 05-15-2012 at 09:21 AM
  When i was in UK recently i had a pint of Deuchars IPA. Very nice, 3.8% ABV session beer.
  Definitely an IPA, big hops on palate, lingering bitterness, some mouth filling tannins. You
  can find a recipe...
