Cheers pal. Could be interesting. Have to admit though, I've only tried a few English IPAs and found them to be a lot less satisfying than American ones. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Wassup guys? Saturday is brewday again , at last , so I was wanting to pick your brains. I have some great ingredients and was wondering if anyone has any expert suggestions as how to best take advantage of what I have got. Here goes, I have the following : Pale Malt 5kg (11 lbs) Cara Malt EBC...

Hello again guys. Brewing again on Saturday, how does this look? My last brew was delicious (Xmas Experimental IPA) but I don't have the same ingredients, so we're modifying it a bit, not too much I hope. We'll try to get as much out of the mash as possible, 1hr initially around 18 - 20...

Cracked open a few bottles yesterday, great aroma, smells like Brew Dog Punk IPA , great taste, very happy with this, should get us through the New Year. This recipe is being saved for the future. Happy days!! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Home Brew mobile app

Well all bottled up now, 56 bottles primed, now the difícult 2 week wait. One done, photos will be posted. It smelt good yesterday!! Fingers crossed the finished product will be just as good!

I don't want my beer to have an excessive taste of wheat, so you're saying wheat was 7%of your grain bill?

Cheers for he input man. It's been fementing away happily all week, nice constant bubbling , not so intense now so I reckon we're almot done, maybe I'll takea reading today to see how ít's doing. If you add wheat, how much are you talking?

The boil and our selection of hops. Ended up with around 19 litres, have hopes for this one, brew day much easier than our previous effort. Should have taken more pics. I'll post a pic of the final product when is done!

Any last minute suggestions /opinions?

Noted, I'll see what other grain we have

By reducing the crystal , how does that affect the final product? More / Less body? Darker / Lighter ? Sorry if these are dumb questions. Used similar grain bill in last brew , beer tastes great but doesnt have much head.

Okay, so going to brew in under 12 hours, was hoping a few kind sols would have a look at this . What you think , are we good to go? HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Xmas Experimental IPA Author: Mark Hughes Brew Method: All Grain Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 21 liters...

Ok so I should cut back on the crystal malt, it was all a bit rushed, I'll give it more time tomorrow. As for the odd hop numbers, yes, I'm using up leftovers, I'll bear in mind what you said, maybe try and even things out. Will using Chinook or Centennial make any noticeable difference?

Second time out for our AG IPA. How does this look ? GRAIN BILL 5kg Pale Malt 350 g Caramel Malt 45 L 250 Crystal 60 L 250 Crystal 30 L 50 g Crystal 20L Mash at 66° for 1hr 1 hour Boil HOPS SCHEDULE 60 min 30g Chinook or Centennial ( how much difference will one or the other make?) 15 min...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll check the manufacturer's websites and act accordingly. Cheers!

Going to buy ingredients soon for another Brew, so I'm checking out the online stores I use and I was wondering, What difference does it make which yeast you use? I'll be making an IPA, what's the difference in using Savage S 04,Safbrew US - 05 or Safbrew S - 33 or any of the other Safbrew Ale...

Cheers man. Got loads of info from this site. Can't wait to get brewing again.

So we have my first all grain IPA and have to say it has turned out well. Nice hoppy aroma, not too heavy, more than pleased with this first effort. If it was served to me in a bar I'd be happy to drink it. Next time will look for a bit more carbonation and will have to read up on how to...

Update : So far so good, dry hopped today, will be in for 4 days till Sunday, when we bottle up. OG was 1.052, came down nicely to FG 1.012,quite pleased with that, already a great aroma before dry hopping. Really looking forward to drinking some of this.
