    Weizen - Wheat vs Pilsner

    Thank you very much for your reply. What would give some of the Weizens I try the orange colour / tones? Bit of Munich / Vienna perhaps?

    Weizen - Wheat vs Pilsner

    Hi, I’m looking to make a weizen and most of the recipes show more or less a 50:50 split between Pilsner malt and wheat. Is there any danger / reasons why the % of wheat cannot go as high as say 70% of the total grain bill? Also will more wheat result in it being more orange than yellow in...

    Off Smells - Grainfather Conical

    Thank you very much for your reply. The temperature was my main focus due to the high temp I pitched at on my first go. When I transferred to the FV and then added the yeast It was recording at 24c/75f. The fermenter itself has a temperature gauge and it quickly got down to 22c/71.6f (within...

    Sediment in Bottles

    Sediment in Bottles

    Thank you so much for the quick advice. My actual current brew is a Hefezeizen as well and so I can relax for the next few weeks then as well :). One further question concerning whirlpooling, should I do this before or after using the wort chiller? And also does cold crashing mean cooling it...

    Sediment in Bottles

    Hi, I have just taken my first brew through to conditioning in my bottles. I have noticed that a layer of sediment appeared in the bottom of the bottles at around the 10 day mark, is this normal? For information I, as i thought it was good practice, did a secondary fermentation at 7 days in...

    Box IPA Recipe - 'Maturing'

    Yes, it is my intention to use the spigot for bottling, what should I be wary of? Also is glucose OK for priming the post-fermented beer and should I do the priming a couple of days before bottling or is the same day OK?
