Thank you VERY Much, I've been searching all over for this specific info, I've been combing through http://www.brewunited.com/grain_database.php and I must be blind, but I can't find Bohemian, or Czech pilsner malt. I'm brewing a rye bier tomorrow, and was making up my recipe, was trying to...

I absolutely LOVE Mangrove Jack's yeast. I don't care how it's made, mixed, repackaged or not. I've used the Bohemian Lager yeast, the Belgian Tripel, the Empire Ale and now I'm gonna try the Bavarian Lager yeast. It is a workhorse, and I get high attenuation, between 88 and 93 %, and maybe...

I've got a 9.5 % abv stout with the same unsettling flavor. Everything else about the bier is great. The smell, the creamy full mouthfeel etc, But that aftertaste is not nice. I brewed on 10 Dec 2016. Bottled on 14 Jan 2017, I too used 50g whole organic espresso beans, 3 days into primary...

I brewed a robust porter on Sunday, I used my washed yeast from my Coopers stout... I made a starter using DME, 100g in 1 liter. I added a liter of the liquid of the washed yeast to the starter, and it was going real good before pitching. It's Tuesday, and after a day of amazing hard bubbling...

What I did and no signs of infection, 3 days after pitching yeast and putting into FV. star-san a hop bag and a glass marble or 2. Bake the whole beans 50g at 200C for 15 minutes, let cool. put in Hop bag with marble. Toss in FV. I have a new 7 gallon Conical, so the lid is big and easy to...

Thanks! I don't know exactly if I don't like roasted barley yet... there are some porters that I didn't get along with, (not many) ;-) I don't like Black Butte Porter by Deschutes, anymore. It was my introduction to the Porter style when I first moved to Seattle. But now after having...

Thanks, I'm pretty fortunate with the online shop I use. I have a lot to choose from, I bought a 2 row pale for my Boddingtons clone, in their description it said it was for English style biers... While I don't know much, but from what I read from descriptions, I'm limited to clinging to a...

Thank you for the link, one can not have enough conversion charts, specially in the beginning of learning to brew :-)

Thank you... so half a pound of roasted barley, approx 250g won't be too much for 19 liters?

Hello fellow brewers. I'm living in Switzerland, just started brewing. I however have a preference to reading in English, so I search American bier forums for advice, and recipes. I found a porter recipe that looks easy enough. Ingredients: • 6 lbs. 2-row malt • 0.25 lb. black...

last night after baking 50g bio espresso whole beans at 200C for 20 minutes, I let them cool and put them in a hop bag that I star-san'ed and wrung out, with a couple glass marbles (also star-san'ed), tossed them into the 7 gal conical FV, 4 days into primary, As per the instructions from the...

:mug: took the words right outta my mouth :rockin: I became a Barista when I moved to Seattle, catered weddings, funerals and other occasions. I too migrated to what they call Toddy, one can google Toddy coffee, and bypass all the results that are recipes for coffee with shots of alcohol. You...

December, 2016, still no recipe... hope OP didn't die of alcohol poisoning. A recipe would be great if someone has it.
