Sure, no problem :) Passion fruit with chocolate comes typically from popular Brazilian desserts called "Mousse de Maracujá" and "Trufa de Maracujá". Coconut and passion fruit comes typically from "Cocada de Maracujá" and "Cocada de Maracujá com Chocolate". The ingredients can overlap in these...

Thanks! I really wanted to simplify it. The reason it was complicated is because I read that Munich and Carapils add body, so I added a bit for the sake of it. The roasted malts were chosen because I tried to get the right color without giving strong toasty flavors or astringency, which I rather...

Not sure how many liters that is, but I'm fermenting only 10 liters and it fits the spec.

I've been thinking about experimenting with Philly Sour and brewing a sour beer based on a popular dessert here in Brazil. It's my first time doing both sour and adjunct beer, so I'd love to have some feedback about the recipe before giving it a go. My idea is to have a dark sour beer with the...

I knew I forgot something in my profile! Thanks for the heads up. I'm not really knocking my local liquid yeasts, it's just that I couldn't find a data sheet for them on the company's website, but really, I should stop being lazy and email them for the info about the strain they have. But even...

Third time brewing with this yeast. This time it's branded as Lallemand London. First time I had 80% attenuation (1.014 FG) and the second 75% (1.017 FG). Both times the yeast stopped at around 1.020 SG and resumed after two weeks. Now I'm brewing another strong bitter. Same story, yeast...

Good news, it really resumed fermenting exactly 2 weeks after putting it into the fermenter. It's been going for a couple of days now. I'll let it sit for a week and take a gravity reading to see if it's around my FG.

Just took a sample from the fermenter and it is exactly at 1.020 SG.

So many different experiences, I've wished I saw before I brewed my bitter. Can anyone with more experience comment on using this yeast for this recipe: Fuller's ESB Clone - Brew Your Own I was looking for a Fullers clone as my first British brew since I really enjoy their ESB. I've read some...

Thanks for the input. It's been a couple of days and activity on the airlock stopped as many users reported. The good thing is that I already do give plenty of time for my beers to ferment so it's not a problem. About adding simple sugars, I think I'll give a try without doing it. Hopefully it...

First time using this yeast. I've brewed yesterday the Fuller's ESB clone posted on BYO website. Reading this thread I wonder how I'll be able to achieve FG of 1.014. I've modified my brew to fit my BIAB setup and ended up with and OG of 1.053 (instead of 1.057 as planed). Mashed @ 67 °C as...

Thanks!

Hey, I'm finishing my setup here with my Arduino clone that uses the CH340G. However, I didn't have problems with flashing it on Brewpi or running the script. Is everything fine to continue with my project? I'm not noticing anything strange but I'm yet to connect the thermometers which are due...
