So what was the recipe?

He is putting in about 20% sugar...sounds really high to me

Hi there Yanky no chillers, I have basically only done no chill beers, as I don't have a hose to pump any water through a chiller to cool the wort down. As you all pretty much have found out there isn't much difference at all between no chill and chilled beers...I notice that some of you have...

I'm thinking of doing a double batch of this - no chill! Then doing one batch without pears and the other with pears - and I'll see how it goes. I'm hoping that one with the fruit is great, just a quick question, did you find that the fruit added a haze to the beer? Or did the extended...

Where did you get that machine that is in the picture on the right?

:off: I know what you mean, I read all your wikis and posts with your german accent :)

I'm from Adelaide, South Australia, like peas and corn. I no chill whenever I don't have any late hop additions, because I am one of the australians that isn't totally on board with no chill (solely because of the aroma) - I find that because of the longer time the wort is at a higher...

oh yeah - for real :) What is the optimum time to drink this beer? I mean - I like good beer but I don't like to wait a year for it...

who's arguing mate? have a re-read of my post and you will find there is no intent of an argument... the only reason is cause I don't know anyone that would call it doo-vel like the snob americans say...only the proper way...call your beer whatever you like - I like the recipe and will make...

de - vil?? I have always pronounced it duvel - like doo and vel. Like all my friends (french speaking and english) call it - even people from belgium pronounce it duvel - not de - vil

That was my concern - the oils ruining the head retention. I think extract would be the way to go - or making my own extract - boiling some water + sugar + nuts to make a syrup or something similar to the candi sugar recipes.

Do you guys think that a nut flavour would go well in a beer? like a strawberry hazelnut cream ale etc? can nuts be used in beers, if so, what part of the brewing? I think that the flavour from nuts comes from the oil, which is bad yeah? Maybe a syrup or something (maybe for priming???)

how about 'pro-gaarden'?

Hey guys, I was wondering what ingredients in the beer and what part of the process helps with better retained heads and better lacing. Aside from the glass and the pouring of the beer - lets talk about the ingredients and process of brewing. Is it correct that its the protein in the...

could also try some cinnamon in the secondary as well!
