Agreed. Best ordinary bitter I've ever brewed was something like: 95% Golden Promise 5% Crystal 120 1040ish, 30ish IBU, 60 min Fuggles and EKG 0 minutes Fuggles and EKG. Wyeast 1469 At work at the moment so that's off the top of my head, if you're interesting in seeing the correct recipe...

Epic Pale Ale uses about 10oz of cascade IIRC for ~5 gallons if you want some inspiration. There's a Can You Brew It clone recipe on this forum somewhere.

I say do it. I like the idea, label is great also. I would think the citrus might clash with the bubblegum esters and more so the cotton candy flavours. Personally, while it was fermenting I would take the citrus and soak it in some decent vodka to make an extract, then post-ferment spike...

This seems like a lot of trouble to get a low O2 environment. Are we really achieving anything by purging a vessel with CO2 before a transfer? This is something that's always irked me a little too. The outwards pressure from the liquid on the walls of the vessel are higher than the air...

This may be of some help: Identifying Conifers [pdf] At work so I can't have a good look over yet. All my mother knew of her's is that it was a conifer - which doesn't narrow it down too much ;-) EDIT: Corrected link.

I think the same tree is growing outside my parents house. No idea what it is though, will ask later tonight. I've never seen it fruit or flower or anything either, and has been there at least 20 years. I don't think it's the Juniperus scopulorum, the leaves definitely have a bluish color...

1968 is the Fuller's yeast strain so it will be perfect for that beer. 1968 is awesome. It's much like the English version of SO5/1056/001 in the sense that it always works and is easy to use. It's not as strong in character as some of the other English yeasts but it's brewhouse...

Beers were exactly the same wort, just split into two fermenters, dry hopped the same too. Recipe was the Union Jack IPA clone that can be found here or from The Brewing Network A direct copy and paste from my quick notes so excuse my laziness to correct the errors :p Both beers have a...

I've just done a side by side of USO5 and SO4 in an IPA. While O4 does come off as more malty it seemed to wash out the flavour a bit. It didn't accentuate the hops at all - the level of hop aroma was about half as the O5 batch. They were pretty similar at the end of the day but the O5 batch...

I wouldn't say this graph is perfect but it gives you an idea of what's going on: (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/multiple-hop-additions-really-necessary-131792/#post1481434) That shows the most aroma coming from a ~7 minute addition, personally I find I get the best aroma with an addition...

Oh yeah, sorry, not speaking from experience here or anything :rolleyes:

This will work to some degree. I've adjusted a couple of beers that finished too dry with MD and it's made them a lot better. Personally, I wouldn't go for more than 2 points - being one of the simpler of the complex sugars it does have a little sweetness. Usually it works the other way -...

Coincidentally I've also just done a variation on my house bitter, a recipe based on Tim Taylor's Best Bitter, with Windsor, my experience was a little different though. Just to note, I used my standard procedures that usually produce a good beer. The only changes were the finishing hops...

Hey mate, would be worth searching over at aussiehomebrewer.com. I remember seeing a thread there where some guys made something along the lines of what you're looking for.

Drinking this beer now. Although mine has a little more hops at flameout and dry hop to use up the rest of my baggies. Has been a long time since I've had SNCA but this is a great beer whether a clone or not.

Same here. I'd like to be able to import a recipe and then easily start the boil timer and mash timer. Also being able to enter notes and the OG and volume would be good. Those two features, if done well, would be enough alone for me to pay for the app. If it could display something...

Just so you know that 'ale malt' is probably Baird's Pearl Pale Ale malt which is similar to but not as intense as Maris Otter. The 'pale malt' will most likely be NZ grown and malted ADM pilsner malt, in which you're correct in substituting for US domestic 2-Row. A stock pile is good but I've...

Brewer's Coop in Auckland have it I'm sure. If you want some more local discussion check us out at http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/

Come join us at http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/ bro. I don't really like that site you posted, they don't list the maltsters and their selection isn't the best. I'd suggest Brewer's Coop if you're in AK or Liberty Brewing if you're elsewhere in the country. What recipes are you planning on...

Probably stating the obvious but make sure it's unflavoured and contains no sugar ;)
