Noted - I think for me I would like the malt character to be more present... I felt the hops overwhelmed it slightly. A Brown Ale I made with a similar but slightly more simple malt bill with 1/2 the total amount of hops (& in that case English varietals) had more of the balance I'd like to...

The final take on that recipe that I brewed was: http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/miramar-brown-ale ... for those interested.

Hey Guys... Cheers for help/feedback. Just bottled this and tasting rather nice... FG of 1.019 - as estimated by the brew calculator - and reading at bottling, so bang on there... Some thoughts... a lil hop dominated for my preference in this style... I think I would consider dropping the...

Cheers guys. What do you think about the hop additions? Would it be worth adding another flavouring hop... Liberty possibly? Or should I just stick to Willamette?

Noted. I think I sometimes make my recipes more complex than necessary.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated: http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/miramar-brown-ale I want to try an avoid using any hops that have any sort of strong citrus/fruit character... Was thinking liberty could possible be a viable addition swapped out for some of the Willamette. ~R

Howdy, Was wondering if I could get some input/feedback on this recipe: http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/red-coat-indian-red-ale I'm aiming for a fairly big rich Indian Red Ale... with fairly balanced bitterness... and a decent bit of hop character. I'm interested in using a bit of a...

Cheers for all the info guys - at this point looks like I'll do some experiments with London Ale III/1318 and London ESB/1968.

How does 1968 go temperature wise... Are the wyeast stats accurate in peoples experience... At this time of year without temperature control I'd imagine my fermenters might sit anywhere from 64 Farenheit to about 72 or so... depending on how much heat the fermentation is producing. Will it...

After a recent ester nightmare/from the fermentation temp creeping up using Safale-04 in a brown ale - I'm looking for recommendations for English yeasts, with a bit of a that British fruity/ester character... but that aren't quite as temperamental/temperature sensitive as Saf-04...

Not so American Brown Ale: I used a American Brown Ale recipe as a basis for malts and then used some English Hops that I had on hand as a experiment and to save coin... 2 x 1.8 kg/3lb and 15.5 oz - Amber LME .35 kg/12.3 oz - Medium Crystal .15 kg/5.29 oz - Biscuit Malt .15 kg/5.29oz -...

Yeh I'm about to go away for a week. So I'll wack in some spiced rum and she should be sweetas!! Thanks for all the prompt and helpful feedback!

Yeh. I will buy a bottle! Im might just used a teaspoon of spice rum meanwhile! Just bottling a Manuka/Kanuka beer! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospermum_scoparium Manuka and it's cousin Kanuka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunzea_ericoides used in place of bittering/flavoring hops. Seems...

Cheers guys. The only spirits I have on hand are Lagavulin and a Spiced Rum! haha... Maybe just a smaller amount of StarSan for same amount of water? I should I just put it a teaspoon of spiced rum? ha

Howdy, At the advice of one of the guys at the local brew store, I put a small amount of StarSan along with water in my airlock (s-bend type)... Once fermentation started (a rather vigorous initial fermentation)... the starsan and water mixer completely bubbled out of the airlock the...
