Hi all, I have the following leftover hops from a brew class I taught. I don't brew hoppy beers generally so what do you hop heads recommend I brew to use as mush of these as possible in one beer? A.A.% in brackets and all whole leaf. Thanks for any and all suggestions. 1 oz Goldings...

Isn't it a mix of rice and barley?

and another year later.....how is it treating you? Could you put an approximate cost on your build? Very nice!!

Where did it go...? I have a few concerns with this concept, which might explain it unpopularity and where it has gone. In addition to the logistics of swapping home brew with strangers, I personally would not want go to much effort to swap my beer and get some crap in return. I have to drink...

Great, thanks folks...! Never thought about the fact people reuse yeast and that its been sitting there weeks too....:)

Its all in the title...but to expand, I made yeast starter of US-05 and didn't brew and didn't have room in fridge long term so I just left it at room temp (foil cap). Will it still be OK? I'm thinking it should be fine, just decant off the liquid right? Cheers.

What do you think the caramunich is going to do?

Thanks for the serving tip...I guess I like this one better colder, I typically like beers cellar temp being from the UK ;) Yes side by side... Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 8.04 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.25 gal Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal Bottling Volume...

Here is picture of my version of this. It turned out close, but no cigar..! Any comments/suggestions welcomed. Ayup! The original, at least the one I bought - which I am assuming not to be oxidized or bad in any other way, had more body, sweetness and fruity flavours. I tried mine against...

I just did 5 G of a dark ruby mild with 90% MO, 8% crystal 80 an 2% chocolate malt. Bittering hops were 1 oz fuggles, flavour hops 0.5 oz goldings for 15 mins. Fermented with a vial of English ale yeast WLP002 at 68 and bottled with a few points of gravity to go for an authentic bottle...

I heat y strike water about 25F over what beer smith tells me. My cooler mash run takes it down about 10 and the grains absorb the rest, 15, which is more than beer smith usually calculates. Always aim on the high side because its easier to cool down than heat up. Same with mash out water. And...

Ill let you know...i have plenty of stuff on my brew list so might be a while... ;) Cheers.

cool! I'd be interested in your recipe.

2 more weeks of lagering and im gonna bottle this bad boy! Its tasting good, not exactly like Korbinian but a good start and a very fine beer nevertheless.

I started opening my Raspberry Belgian Ale about a week ago....tastes delicious. Went down well with Thanksgiving dinner. Had many compliments such as "best fruit beer ever had". It's got a nice real (not fake extract) raspberry flavour initially which subsides to leave a dry tartish...

Here is a pint of my ChocolOATe Stout. This is 1 week in bottle and tastes great already and is moderately carbed so far... Wife did a blind side-by-side tasting against a well known commercial Porter (I know, different to a Stout - but not by much and not that wife can discern) and mine came...

So, I brewed this 4 days ago. Had to make some on the spot modification at the LHBS. They recommended not toasting my own oats because they need 1-2 weeks to off gas so as to not impart potential off flavours. So I just doubled up on the flaked oats and added some victory malt for toasty/nutty...

Just a thought mystic, would raspberries go well with this or blackberries? I have a bunch left from summer and was thinking I could add one or the other to a gallon or two of this...thoughts? Cheers.

Sweet! This has moved to the top of my "on deck" list. Thanks. I will definatley follow up. Ayup

Hey Mysticmead, few questions before I do this next week. Im just trying to figure out your main grains bill....I think it is 1lb flaked oats, 1lb toasted flaked oats and 1lb malted oats and 8lbs of 2-row is that right?? How did your latest version turn out compared to the others, was there any...
